WE’RE ALL AWARE of outdoor pollution, but how much do you know about indoor pollution and the air in your home or office?
We’re constantly surrounded by air and breathe it in from the moment we’re born, but most of us probably give it very little thought – particularly indoors.
However, attention is increasingly turning to sources of pollution indoors as well as out. Recent studies have suggested that everyday tasks as simple as cooking a meal or lighting a fire can contribute significantly to indoor air pollution.
So, how much do you really know about the air around you? Ahead of Clean Air Day tomorrow, test your knowledge in the quiz below.
Dyson Purifiers capture 99.95% of allergens and pollutants as small as 0.1 microns² (for scale, a human hair measures around 100 microns). Tested for filtration efficiency (EN1822), air projection, purification coverage in a 81m3 room and heating performance in a 35m3 room. Because our houses tend to be better sealed these days, pollutants and allergens can’t always escape – but they can be captured. Find out more about Dyson’s Purifier range, its technology and where to buy here.
