These include natural as well as human related reasons that can alter the natural composition of air, and affect the air quality. The air quality can change over different geographical areas depending upon the physical factors that exist at a specific location. This deterioration of air quality due to various natural and man-made reasons is known as air pollution. But is it really that harmful that many believe it to be, is air pollution a fact or a myth? Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\">There are a lot of misconceptions regarding air pollution out there. Despite the widespread claims to the contrary, air pollution is just as harmful to health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\">Some of the air pollution myth\/fact are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_There_is_no_such_thing_as_indoor_air_pollution\"><\/span>1. There is no such thing as indoor air pollution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\">We spend more than 90% of our life indoors. Indoor air can be as bad as the outdoor air, even worse if proper methods and mitigation strategies are not followed. In enclosed spaces it becomes even more essential to <a href=\"\/?page_id=18093\">monitor<\/a> and maintain the indoor air quality. Women and children spend most of their time in households, hence affected the most from household emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\">Many factors can affect the indoor air quality including the ventilation rate, number and variety of sources a place is exposed to, and many more. These sources are different on the basis of where they exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\">For example; a typical home environment will have different air pollutants and sources as compared to workspaces, hotels, and many other indoor environments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Air_pollution_sources_present_inside_a_household\"><\/span>Air pollution sources present inside a household:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"\/?page_id=20162\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Air-pollution-sources-in-house-1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"air pollution sources in house\" class=\"wp-image-65094\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Air-pollution-sources-in-house-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Air-pollution-sources-in-house-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Air-pollution-sources-in-house-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Air-pollution-sources-in-house-1536x1086.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Air-pollution-sources-in-house-2048x1448.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><li>Cooking- CO, NOx, VOCs<\/li><li>Tobacco smoke- VOCs<\/li><li>Unmaintained gas appliances- CO<\/li><li>Carpets- Particulates, mould spores, lead, dust mites,Pet dander, dust.<\/li><li>Paint- VOCs<\/li><li>Furniture (especially new furniture)- HCHO<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Some_air_pollution_sources_present_in_classroomsoffices\"><\/span>&nbsp;

These include symptoms like irritation in the eyes, nose, and the throat, headaches, nausea, sleepiness, allergic reactions and many more, that can cause discomfort.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\">Some air pollutants are dangerous from others, and even exposure for shortest time intervals can have serious effects on one\u2019s health. These pollutants are PM2.5, NO2, Black carbon, ground level ozone, and methane.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_The_number_of_deaths_caused_by_air_pollution_is_overestimated\"><\/span>3.

It is a proven fact that air pollution causes various cardiorespiratory disorders, aggravates respiratory disorders like asthma, affects mental and physical growth in children, triggers strokes, and has effects on lungs and heart. According to the WHO (World Health Organization), air pollution in responsible for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><li>The combined effects of residential and outdoor air pollution are responsible for <strong>6.7 million<\/strong> premature deaths annually.<\/li><li>Ischemic heart disease and stroke accounted for <strong>37%<\/strong> of outdoor air pollution-related premature mortality.<\/li><li><strong>18% <\/strong>of the deaths were due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).<\/li><li><strong>23% <\/strong>of the deaths were caused due to acute lower respiratory infections.<\/li><li><strong>11%<\/strong> deaths were due to cancer within the respiratory tract.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:23px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Wearing_any_mask_will_protect_you_from_inhaling_air_pollution\"><\/span>4. Wearing any mask will protect you from inhaling air pollution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\">Air pollution is a serious issue, where 9 out of 10 people are inhaling polluted air that exceeds the WHO\u2019s air quality standards. That is, if suitable mitigation methods are not implemented to lessen the consequences of air pollution, we may become part of the mortality statistics. To combat air pollution effects, an <a href=\"\/?page_id=16107\">effective N-95 mask<\/a> will help you breathe clean air. It would not only save you from inhaling dust, pollen, allergens, but also virus and infection inhalation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"\/?page_id=16107\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Good-mask-for-air-pollution-1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"affective air pollution mask\" class=\"wp-image-65130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Good-mask-for-air-pollution-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Good-mask-for-air-pollution-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Good-mask-for-air-pollution-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Good-mask-for-air-pollution-1536x1086.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Good-mask-for-air-pollution-2048x1448.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Effective N-95 anti-air pollution mask<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\">Improper masks such as surgical masks and cloth masks are not as effective.

Winter season has a significant effect on air pollutants, but that does not mean that air pollution around summers isn\u2019t as dangerous. The visibility of air pollutants is much more visible around winters due to a phenomenon known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aqi.in\/blog\/temperature-inversion-and-air-pollution\/\">inversion<\/a>, as grey skies become more visible.

Each category of people experience the adverse effect of air pollution. Sensitive groups experience it the most, but air pollution can affect a healthy individual as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\">Sensitive groups include children, people with underlying health issues, pregnant ladies, and old age people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\"><strong>Children<\/strong>: Air pollution has an adverse effect on cognitive, neurological, tissue, and cell growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\"><strong>People with underlying health issues<\/strong>: Air pollution acts as a trigger to various underlying issues such as heart disorders.&nbsp; Air pollution can exacerbate existing poor health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\"><strong>Pregnant ladies<\/strong>: Air pollution affects the prenatal growth and affects the expectant mothers as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\">These are just a proportion of the population that are affected by air pollution a little more than a healthy individual, but it does not make that individual immune to the effects of air pollution.

The biggest cause of air pollution is vehicular pollution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\">Vehicular pollution plays a major role in air pollution composition, but it is not the biggest cause of air pollution. In India, the biggest contributor of air pollution is construction and dust (59%), followed by the waste burning activities. According to Chandra Bhushan, an environmentalist, India burns approximately <strong>2 billion tones<\/strong> of substances to either dispose of waste or generate energy. Coal burning, lignite (for electricity), biomass (mainly for cooking), and agricultural residue (waste disposal) account for three-fourths of this; oil accounts for roughly 10%. We are overlooking the forests for the trees by focusing all of our efforts on reducing automotive emissions\u2014a relevant but insufficient requirement for pollution control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Major-cause-of-air-pollution-1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"major cause of air pollution\" class=\"wp-image-65139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Major-cause-of-air-pollution-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Major-cause-of-air-pollution-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Major-cause-of-air-pollution-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Major-cause-of-air-pollution-1536x1086.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Major-cause-of-air-pollution-2048x1448.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_When_there_is_visible_air_pollution_it_is_dangerous\"><\/span>8.

We as a community should be aware enough to know that air pollution is a bigger issue at hand. Governments are fighting their fight against air pollution. All the facts and statistics confirm that air pollution is not just a myth, but a harsh fact, reality that we must realize sooner than later for our own good. Future generations will suffer if air quality continues to deteriorate. Not only humans but plants also suffer from the air pollution. Air pollution has the ability to alter natural behaviour of plants and can hamper their growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\">Hence, it becomes important to realize what is at stake, and take concrete steps in controlling the sources of air pollution.
