Air Quality Around Us

Air quality is indispensable resource in our daily life. We can life for several days without drinking water but without air for minutes nobody in the world can survive. Now air pollution happens all over the world due to the expanding of modern technologies. Air pollution comes from many different sources. for example factories, power plants, and smelters usually generate large amount of pollution. Even at home those dry cleaners and degreasing operations can pollute the air. In public area cars, buses, planes, trucks, and trains can produce exhausts. Moreover occurring sources such as windblown dust, and volcanic eruptions all contribute to air pollution.  

Air pollutants such as Carbon Monoxide (CO), Lead(Pb), Nitrogen Dioxide(NO2), Ozone(O3), Particulate matter(PM), Sulfur Dioxide(SO2) are usually called criteria air pollutants. Those pollutants existing all over United State, and also have serious damage to the environment as well as cause health problem. Nowadays the most common health problems are allergies and asthma, and airborne pollutants are the major cause to those illnesses. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), the National Academy of Sciences(NAS), the American Lung Association(ALA), and the American Heart Association(AHA), if human are exposed to fine particles for a long time, it will impair breathing and increase the risk of asthma attack, stroke, heart attack and other serious illnesses. In addition, there are hundreds or thousands of research studies that have shown that short and long-term exposures to fine particle air pollution damages health.

In order to reduce the chances of getting allergy and stroke symptoms, the best way is to eliminate those pollutants. Based on my research, air purifier stands out as the best solution. It not only can absorb large polluted particles but also can destroy viruses and other microorganisms. You can find more details about air purifiers from www.atlasairpurifier.com
