If you were asked to name a region that contains an enormous amount of air pollution, what would come to mind? More than likely, you would think of heavily polluted metropolitan centers like Beijing or Los Angeles. Actually, you don’t have to look at large scale cities to see significant pollution. This is because large quantities of air pollution already exist inside your own home. No, the pollution is not in the form of industrial chemicals. Common, average, everyday matter and items have the potential to create a home health hazard. That is why it is important to be on the lookout for problematic components that create a number of pollution related problems.
What common items can create a safety hazard inside the home? Believe it or not, something a seemingly benign as dust can create a hazard. If dust collects to the point its presence is so thick, the occupants are ingesting it when they breathe, something must be done as soon as possible. It is never a good thing to inhale pollutants. When collected in high enough volumes, the presence of dust in the air is not good for the occupants’ safety.
Mold is another problem that presents itself when without warning. Even if you clean your kitchen or bathroom regularly, mold may collect in small quantities. If you are not thorough in cleaning these rooms, a huge mold outbreak can occur. Much like dust, mold can present a number of respiratory hazards when its presence reaches high enough volumes. So, when cleaning the rooms is not enough, it becomes necessary to purchase a humidifier to completely rid the room of said mold.
And, yes, anytime you have chemicals in your home you will experience the risk of ingesting polluted air. Now, when people hear about chemical pollutants, they will assume you are referring to extremely potent and powerful pollutants. Well, have you varnished a table and now discovered the aroma of varnish vapors are in the air? Perhaps you have used bleach or ammonia to clean a room. Do you sense the acrid smell of these liquids? Is so, the air you are inhaling may be rife with impurities. Yes, air pollution can develop from any foreign substance that enters the air. There are many common household chemicals that can corrupt the air you breathe. That’s why you have to be very aware of their presence and air out a room when it gets to thick.

Unbelievably, the air within modern homes can be upwards of five times more polluted than outdoor air. When you also consider that we can spend up to ninety percent of our lives indoors, the term sick building syndrome should require little explanation. Outside air, unlike inside, is recycled repeatedly with pollutants such as tobacco smoke, pollen, mold, dust and pet dander all adding towards asthma and allergies.There are various symptoms associated with so called sick building syndrome including sinus congestion, watery or itchy eyes, headaches, lethargy, lack of concentration and nausea. However, because several of these symptoms are similar to those of a common cold, it is not always easy to ascertain if indoor pollution is the cause or if it is because of some form of virus.If you find that, the symptoms fade when you outside, you should try to discover inside air sources, which might be possible causes and endeavour to get rid of them. As luck would have it, indoor air pollution is one health hazard that you can do something about.Here are seven easy measures you can take to improve the air quality in your home.1. Banish Smoking Inside the HomeIdeally, you should ban smoking anywhere inside the home but if this is not possible, try to confine it to one place. In our case, if friends or family, who are also smokers, visit, they are either banished to the back yard or the kitchen area. If you have an extractor fan installed in the kitchen, make sure that it is turned on and try to have smokers stand reasonably close to the fan so that the fumes are sucked out.2. Open Your Windows Once In a WhileIf it is not freezing cold or blowing a gale outside, let some outdoor air in by opening your windows and doors every now and then. Doing so will also remove some of the pollutants that have built up within your house. 3. Chuck out Those Chemical CleanersIf you have ever taken the time to study the labels on household cleaning products, most of them will include a warning about how harmful the chemicals are for your health or skin. Every time you use that product, fumes from whatever is in the bottle are released into the air for you to inhale. I have quite often started coughing after spraying counter tops with so called anti-bacterial cleaner. Not any longer though, as my natural housecleaning products of choice are now baking soda, washing soda, vinegar and pure lemon juice. These are all non-toxic, environmentally friendly and can tackle the majority of cleaning chores, either separately or combined with one another.4. Clean and Dust Your Home on a Regular BasisAlthough it might seem obvious to some folks, regularly vacuuming your carpets and flooring can go a long way in controlling airborne allergens and dust. It is claimed that some 70% of all household dust is composed of dead skin, which we humans shed day in and day out. Dust mites in turn feed upon the dead skin that falls from our bodies. They then grow and shed their own skin and it is this together with their faeces that cause allergic reactions in people.5. Pet Dander Triggers AllergiesIf you have a family pet, they will shed dander that can trigger allergies and asthma. Something needs to be done if you suspect that either you or another household member is allergic to pet dander. Ideally, it is best to keep pets out of the house altogether although that is seldom possible. As a viable alternative, try to restrict the rooms that the pet is allowed into. One definite area to keep them out of is the bedroom.6. Reduce Indoors Air HumidityIf the climate where you live is either very humid or just plain damp (as in too much rainfall), you will no doubt be aware of just how much moisture levels within your house can increase. This excessive moisture or humidness is the ideal breeding conditions for mold. For anyone with allergies, mold spores can cause as many health problems as airborne dust. Dehumidifiers can be a godsend in a humid environment since they are capable of removing excess dampness from the surrounding air; thereby keeping mold and the resulting spores at bay.7. Get an Indoor Air PurifierHome air purifiers or room air cleaners do as their name suggests and clean the air of pollutants and allergens such as mold spores, pollen, cigarette smoke and pet dander. Besides being used to reduce the concentration of these airborne contaminants, they are especially useful for people who suffer from allergies and asthma attacks. Air purifiers and room air cleaners are quickly increasing in popularity because they make indoor air healthier and cleaner.

The health hazard in India as pollution has gone up to sky-rocketing height.

Pollution , the modern killer, is very openly playing death-game in Asia and Africa. India has been becoming the worst victim of it. People’s physical and biological needs make the Indian several times a day aware that India is very much a part of Nature. But to day the conflict between Indian and Nature has reached a critical stage. The U.N. O. has disclosed the evils of pollution as disease, dirt, hunger, flood, famine and malnutrition that has been threatening life in India. The urban life, with it’s emphasis on unplanned and unscientific organised industrial activity, unplanned development of township, abrupt deforestation and fumes and smoke have been contributing to a crisis in life of India. It influences our thinking, culture, and behaviour. The importance of clear

surroundings has seen supplemental by economics of industry. In industrial cities, people drink putrefied sewage water. Less than 5% of population has treated-water for drinking. Mercury poisoning comes from pesticides, insecticides,. the use of chemical fertilizers and industrial wastes. The western countries have to shoulder the lion’s share of polluting the fabric of 3rd.world countries. Their up-going development, growth of civilisation, aware of their own environment along with high lure and last for consumption have drove the last nail in the coffin of Indian environment. They themselves do not produce health-hazarding and poisoning products in their own country , but in the countries of 3rd world. The hopeless, innocent people of India harvest the poison that West and America germinate to have their elixir. The Swedish scientists , of late, have researched that indiscriminate use of Nitrogen based fertiliser, that is used to get more harvest, pollutes the environment in a very high dose. The experts of the globe fear lung and skin cancer, bronchitis, cardiac problem, diabetics, mental disorder ,and lead poisoning will attack

India such an increasing rate within 25 to 30 years , that no measure will be adequate to save the country from oncoming attack of diseases come as an epidemic .India has introduced new technology that creates problem but not the institutions for controlling or checking. Now the hopeless Indian and people of poor countries only await their hard –fate and are exposed to be easy prey of painful death. There may have some laws and salaried men to impose those laws . May have some fund also to protect people and to prevent the mush-rooming of unplanned industries and town-ship, but where goes only God knows. There are Industrial Safety Department, Safety Officer and laws & rules but where do they operate is not known to ordinary Indians. The Indian people run the risk of consuming poison

through vegetables and food grains, they earn in return of hard toil.

Now the State Governments of the country invite the private investors and industrialists to set up new plants and industries almost in return of nothing. That is another aspect of Government. We have nothing to say in this respect In what easy and embracing terms and conditions they are called is also the business of the people of United States of India to know, but now, ‘ pollution and health hazard are the need of the day, the cry of the soul of the Indian people. The Central and State Governments jointly have been ignoring the advice and warning both ,though they know well that the common people can’t effort to fly to abroad for their own or kiths and kin’s treatment.

The most staggering matter is that India has not any fruitful Health Policy after having been freed from British bondage of hundred years and has failed to set up a solid infrastructure in sixty years, with which she can fight out the odd. None can imagine in any civilised country that dogs, cats and boars share the bed of the dead-tired patients. The new born baby is lifted or snatched by either dogs or flesh- eating animals. The government hospital refuses the ill-patient to admit ,if not is bribed. This is the democracy of the common people of free India. The dead must commit suicide if will be told to take rebirth in this volatile country. The government hospitals are death-trap. Once, one enters on his own foot must comes out on four shoulders. The fortunate few, who have got the key to enter the world of all-gots, get the chance of curing head-ache in abroad.

Now all those taking pave for not that India is a poor country, or her natural resources are limited. India, in true sense, is richer than most other countries in the world That’s why she has been snatched of her wealth form the Muslim period. The proper planning, just utilisation of her natural resources, honest thinking for her citizen, love for country and open-hearted fore sighting political leaders are lacked in the country . The men on the top forget that human force is the root strength of a nation. They go to China, or Japan, write article being enthusiastic on their opposite summersault but never think to implement that design. Not that they are idiot, but intensely greedy, selfish, and remain busy to reap their own ends.

The rotten place is here; where from the corruption is started.. The other countries have been trying utmost to fight against pollution , to eradicate it and to de -pollute the environment. Where as Indian Pathfinders are seeking chance to criminalise the politics and politicalise the criminality.

None can escape the demand of time. Indian people are timid ,endurable, calm in nature. They have dog-like endurance, horse like loyalty, but to certain extent. Every thing has had its last limit. They will not convince themselves that pollution is a God given ill luck and judgement for long..
