Birmingham studies show high levels of home pollution – BBC

At a time when cities like Birmingham apply charging to try to get more polluting vehicles off the road, this study shows that thinking about air quality in our homes can be just as important.

Meanwhile, especially if someone in your home has problems around breathing, it can help use the extractor fans when cooking, to stay on top of dust, and also open Windows … and definitely think twice about igniting your favorite smelly candle.

“You can also buy purifiers, they are quite effective,” added Prof. Pope.

“There are many ways to do this, but I think one of the good things is actually to know how much air pollution there is so that we hope that this study is lighting light and shows that there is this potential problem inside the houses as well as out. ”
