The  main problem (beside traffic jam) in my city(Kathmandu) is air pollution. And not only me, air pollution is a very common problem among the big cities, no matter its United States or Nepal. Everyone is now concerned about it and a lot of things are being done, a lot of money is being invested and a lot of new innovations have been getting out. Now, everyone cares about the air pollution, but do you care about the indoor air pollution. I mean the air pollution with in your house? Do you know how much the air is polluted? Do you even care about what makes the air of your house polluted? Indoor population affects you more than the outdoor populations because you spend more time in your home than outside. Specially if you’re a housewife. Here are some info.

  • Charcoal grill, camp stove etc which burns fuel produces carbon monoxide which is considered a very danger element that pollutes the air. Try to use them outside of your house. Use the carbon mono oxide detector so you always can be informed about the amount of carbon mono oxide inside your house. 
  • Fans are necessary in some places like kitchen.  And try to remove the stuffs which grows moisture. Removing carpets from bathroom and kitchens can be the examples. And your house should be fully ventilated.
  • Restrict smoking inside the house.
  • Radons are another factor that should be taken care. Seal the cracks in the floors of your house to get safe from radon problems. Taking help of the professionals to check the existence of radons is a great idea.
  • Try to avoid the use of pesticides inside the house. And if its compulsory then make sure that no one is inside the home  until sometimes after the use of pesticides. May be some days.
  • Check for asbestos. And get professionals to check if you suspect it. Asbestos can be dangerous.  Cover it safely if the existence of asbestos found.
