Indoor Air Pollution (FGCU) Jonathan Hohn

Have you really thought about air pollution and what it does to our world at which we live in. Air pollution is not only outside of our homes. Air pollution can exist within our houses and other buildings. Statistics show that that many people everyday are affected by chemicals the linger in the air. People spend about about 80-90 percent of there lives indoors. Some examples of some indoor air pollutants are vapors from building materials, cigarette smoke, heating appliances, and  paints.  Indoor air pollution puts your health at risk by causing lung diseases such as asthma and lung cancer. Lung cancer takes the lives of  335,000 people in America a year making this a big problem in the United States. Preventing the growth of mold can have a dramatic effect on you air quality indoors. In conclusion after reading this passage I hope you will consider these simple steps to keep your air clean. Keep good air circulation when humidity is high, keep a dehumidifier and keep it clean and empty often so that mildew does not build up. Just always remember that sometimes the things  that we cant see can be the most harmful.
