A study from the University of Birmingham reveals that air pollution indoors can often exceed outdoor levels. In a two-week assessment of three homes, particulate matter levels were found to be higher than the WHO's PM2.5 guidelines on several days. Researchers emphasize the importance of understanding home air quality factors due to increased time spent working from home. Key pollution contributors include household activities and the infiltration of outdoor pollutants. Methodologies used in the study provide a cost-effective means to monitor air quality more accurately.
With more time spent working from home, understanding the factors that affect air quality within households is increasingly important.
PM levels varied significantly between homes, indicating that monitoring just one location isn't enough.
