For years the health authorities concentrated on the negative impacts of outdoor pollution on human well-being. Only recently have they 'discovered' what has always been a threat to public health: poor indoor air quality.
As a matter of fact, indoor air pollution is ranked in the top five environmental risks to our health.
Recent investigations found that the air people breathe in their homes is likely to be two to five times more polluted than the air they inhale outside. And, unfortunately, the pollution is not necessarily of the type someone can see or smell.
As many as one billion people, mostly women and children, are regularly exposed to levels of indoor air pollution exceeding WHO guidelines by up to 100 times.
