Shocking numbers

Indoor air pollution has become a worldwide problem. Research shows that many things can harm your health. Pollution can cause 35.7% of the world's respiratory diseases, 22% of chronic lung diseases and 18% of bronchitis and lung cancers. Some relevant organizations in the U.S. have found that 500 kinds of volatile organic compounds exist in indoor air, 20 of which are carcinogenic substances. As a result, indoor air pollution has become one of the five biggest environmental factors that harm people's health in the U.S.

In the U.K., a survey conducted in 500 offices discovered that 12.5% of office air is unhealthy; people who work at these offices feel fatigued and develop rough skin.

Meanwhile, the Hong Kong environmental protection agency has found that 37.5% of office air quality is below standard. Indoor environment pollution has become an international concern. When people are paying attention to the blue sky, they should also focus on indoor environment pollution.

Indoor environment pollution comes from a variety of sources. According to experts, types of indoor pollution based include chemical pollution, radioactive pollution, physical pollution, biological pollution and particulate air pollution.
