During high pollution periods, especially in Delhi-NCR, indoor air quality worsens significantly, posing health risks such as respiratory problems and increased vulnerability for children, elderly, and those with existing respiratory conditions. While air purifiers are a popular solution, here are five other ways to improve indoor air quality:
Indoor Plants:
Natural air purifiers like rubber plants, ivy, Chinese evergreens, dracaena, areca palm, bamboo, spider plants, peace lilies, aloe vera, and snake plants thrive even in low light and help clean indoor air.
Use Damp Cloths for Cleaning:
Avoid dry dusting which can spread dust particles into the air. Instead, use damp cloths or brushes to wipe windows, doors, and surfaces, reducing airborne dust.
Install Exhaust Fans:
Essential in kitchens and bathrooms, exhaust fans remove hot, polluted air along with dust particles and bacteria, improving ventilation significantly.
Use a Humidifier:
Humidifiers add moisture to dry indoor air, preventing allergies and respiratory or skin problems. They can be used at home and even in cars for better air quality.
Vacuum Cleaning:
Regular vacuuming helps remove fine dust, pet hair, and dander from floors, carpets, and sofas, minimizing indoor allergens.
