Household pollutants: how to stay healthy

Few people even guess how many harmful substances are located in their house. Such ignorance leads to the fact that family members are often sick, and sources of weak immunity are not observed. Each room, to one degree or another, is polluted with household and natural polluting components. There are a lot of pollution sources, not every one of them is noticeable at first sight.

Concrete is considered one of the materials that spreads around itself a substance such as radon. In addition to it, there are a number of volatile substances that cause irreparable harm to the body. To eliminate it, it is recommended to use additional protection. Its role may be played by dense paper wallpapers, which are not at first glance a mere element of decor. With the same success, you can use the left paint. A faithful assistant in the release of the premises from unwanted substances is the constant ventilation of the room.

In most cases, residents of the first floor suffer from radon, as it rises from the basement. In large quantities and with a constant effect on the human body, it can cause lung cancer. Studies have confirmed this fact and 25% of all patients suffered from underground radon flows. However, experts recommend cementing the main basement or reliably creating floor sealing in the room on the ground floor.

Dry air in the room where people live is not always useful. If you have just such a problem, then doctors advise you to use specific moisturizing elements: open cans and water bottles that should be placed under the battery. In some cases, it is recommended to use the aquarium as an additional protection against dryness and an element of decor. Batteries can be covered with wet sheets.

Often there is such a thing as "sick building syndrome." In addition to constantly airing the room, it is recommended to plant indoor plants that produce oxygen. Among modern indoor plants, there are those that draw, in addition to carbon dioxide, other harmful components from the air.

Modern technologies offer a huge assortment of equipment that helps in the fight against air pollution and humidification in an apartment, house, etc. But you need to know exactly what result you want to achieve. In rooms on lower floors and in poorly ventilated rooms, humidifiers are strictly prohibited, unless of course you want to see a bunch of mold on the walls and ceiling. There are also air purifiers, they are classified by type of filter.

Nera-filters are membrane septa that accumulate in themselves all the dirt and various types of bacteria. Fairly expensive to maintain, if you do not change the filter in time, the cleaning effect will change to an enhanced distribution of bacteria in the room.

Water filters - when the drum filter rotates, according to the principle of a water mill, particles of moisture fly around the room. It is equivalent to just walking around and “waving it with a wet rag”.

Nano-catalytic filters - a high-tech system for cleaning and disinfecting air, built on the example of plant photosynthesis, under the influence of a low-purity ultraviolet lamp, the process of decay of harmful substances, exhaust gases, pathogenic bacteria, etc.

Be attentive to your health! Ozone and ion in large quantities are harmful and very dangerous! Therefore, do not buy purifiers with supposedly additional functions that are not really needed.
