Existence of microorganisms in the interior of the building
The presence of pollution, dust and microorganisms is not limited to abandoned and dirty buildings, and the buildings where people live and have their daily activities are also full of all kinds of pollution. In fact, the presence of humans and living organisms produce more pollution than any other condition. If this contamination is not visible to the eye and manifests itself in the form of small insects and rodents, or dust, there is no reason for its absence and the indoor air of the building should be well treated.
In any residential environment, individuals and creatures coexist in the form of animals and plants. The biological activities of all these people will produce chemical pollution. Basic human activities, such as breathing, cooking, travelling, and so on, are activities that produce a variety of gases and pollutants. For example, we all know that by breathing too much of a limited amount of air inside a room, the air is used again and again to gradually poison it. In addition, indoor products such as plastic and wooden appliances themselves play a role in increasing these pollutants.
In this case, it is the fresh air that enters from outside the room, which can balance the poisoned air and make it healthy to some extent. In fact, the air must be directed from the outside of the building to the inside to be able to balance. Air conditioning systems and a variety of natural purification equipment are useful in these situations.
The problem becomes more serious when we know that inside every home and environment, there are various microorganisms such as bacteria, some of which are pathogenic and some of which are beneficial. But one should not be passive and indifferent to pathogenic microorganisms. Pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, and gastrointestinal pathogens such as Escherichia coli are present inside buildings.
The difference between indoor and outdoor air pollution
So far we have found that indoor air is not only clean and healthy but can be reusable, unhealthy, old and full of pathogenic microorganisms. Some of this pollution is balanced by the movement of air, but sometimes this solution is not enough. In fact, the need to clean the air inside a building goes beyond the supply of air.
Part of the mentioned pollutants enter from outside the building space through the seams of doors and windows and part of it is created inside the interior space itself. This means that the outdoor air itself can eventually be polluted. As in many cities, the pollution index goes higher than normal and makes the air unhealthy and dangerous. This pollution can be an essential feature of industrial cities or metropolises.
Pollution related to industrial processes, combustion of materials and production of hazardous gases, burning of fossil fuels, various types of polluting fumes, transportation, waste gases or gases derived from landfills, gases released from certain colors, Gases from the process of fermentation and decomposition of plants and objects and types of suspended particles and other cases are examples of pollution that exists outdoors.
But on the contrary:
Cooking that is similar to burning fossil fuels and not using a ventilator and hood
Burning materials such as paraffin candles
Cleaning chemicals
Types of detergents
Insecticides
Pesticides
Fragrances
Colors
Formaldehyde is available in a variety of adhesives that are used for all furniture and household items
smoking
The heat released from audio-visual equipment
dust
Pet
Lack of proper sanitation
Types of infectious diseases such as viral diseases
Not even paying attention to the flame color of the heating appliances
Examples of pollution in the interior of buildings that must be addressed. In addition, fungi and mold are the most common indoor air pollutants that commonly occur in humid areas such as bathrooms, toilets and kitchens. To prevent this from happening, clothes and items exposed to moisture should not be placed in dark places, as it provides space for fungus and mold to grow. Or that it first dried completely and then used.
Or as another example, carpets because:
The presence of glue in them
Also because it has food for insects and bacteria and space for them to grow
Also because of the detachable cracks
Also due to slow and hard drying and having a suitable space for mold and fungus to grow
And finally due to having volatile organic compounds
If left unattended and unattended, they can be a source of pollution inside the building.
As in many cities, most buildings are plagued by home disease syndrome. This means that the indoor air of the building is not well ventilated, is not treated and sometimes contains three times as much pollution (on average 2 to 5 times) of outdoor space.
In this situation, the entry of outside air into the house and inside the building is also dangerous, and the movement of air and the modification of indoor air with outdoor air not only does not modulate it but also introduces pathogens into it. This situation is not suitable for people who should stay away from unhealthy weather.
Imagine that the outdoor air pollution index shows an unhealthy and dangerous situation, and people with certain diseases and susceptible people such as the elderly and children should stay indoors, but the air they breathe indoors is not much different from the open air. In this case, with the closing of doors and windows, pollution continues to threaten people inside the building. It is at this point that filtration systems can provide completely healthy air inside the building and be useful in controlling respiratory diseases and allergies caused by air pollution.
Indoor air purification solutions
1. Home solutions for interior air purification of the building
There are simple ways to purify the air inside homes and buildings. For example, you can use air purifiers such as Potos, Sensoria, Marie, Spider, Benjamin, Aloe Vera and Aglaonema. The purifying properties of these plants have been proven and sometimes work even better than digital purifiers. Because some of these pollutants are less than one micron in size and the filters of the devices can not hold them inside. But purifying plants can absorb these tiny pollutants.
Also, burning beeswax candles instead of paraffin candles will purify the air inside the building. Activated charcoal or bamboo charcoal also has to purify properties.
2. Get help from ventilation and air purification systems inside the building
In addition, some safer and non-domestic methods can be used to purify the interior air of buildings, such as the installation of air conditioning systems and air purification systems. There are several systems and devices for this task that can be selected depending on the acute need for treatment, budget, capacity, building area, geographical location, number of doors and windows and building height.
Basically, filters play a key role in air conditioners and purifiers, and the type of filter in the device will be selected according to the type of your needs and the type of pollution in the area. For example, the presence of dust and large particles in a particular coastal area requires a mechanical filter, which is a different filter than the filter required for fine particles suspended in the air of another city. For the second city mentioned, the filter used in the purifier is a gas type. The third type of air purifier is electronic, like some apartment air conditioners.
