This article focuses on a very useful topic, such as air purification. Almost all rooms, whether at home or at work, contain harmful particles such as dust. We will talk about how it affects health, how to get rid of it, or at least minimize concentration.
What is harmful dust in the home or at work?
In fact, dust is harmful everywhere, not just indoors. Even in dry weather on a dirt road, it becomes flour for people and animals to inhale such air. What's happening? Together with a stream of air, we inhale particles of dust that settle: in the nose, in the mouth, in the esophagus, in the trachea, in the bronchi, in the lungs. No theories and evidence are needed to verify this.
Let's go back to the room. In a room at home or in an office, of course, it is not road dust that flies. Nevertheless, it is also harmful in large concentrations. Have you heard of dust mites? They appear where there is an accumulation of stale dust, especially in upholstered furniture, carpets, fleecy bedspreads. Cleaning the air from dust here will be a priority.
Dust at home or office can lead to bronchitis, allergies, and ultimately to asthma. Do not bring yourself to such a terrible disease.
How to reduce the concentration of dust in the apartment?
You must have the willpower to accustom yourself to clean up more often than once a week. If it is difficult to clean the entire room or even the apartment at once, then make it a rule to carry out local cleaning every day. How to understand this? For example, in your room there is a large computer desk, there are many different things on it. Under the table there are also shelves, racks. Clean here today. Tomorrow remove dust from the windowsills, water and sprinkle the flowers. You can even make yourself a schedule and mark.
Never wipe the dust with a dry cloth or whisk. Just raise all the dust with a pillar and breathe it. Be sure to open a window or window if the windows overlook a favorable ecological zone. Air purification occurs if you:
- often ventilate the room;
- do wet cleaning regularly;
- Vacuum
- do not store unnecessary things outside of drawers, cabinets, containers;
- wipe and vacuum upholstered furniture;
- shake out the bedspreads;
- moisten the air by spraying plants or a special device.
Of course, such rules apply more to home than production. We’ll talk about air purifiers and humidifiers later.
What is used in production?
Unfortunately, many factories, factories, transport enterprises are places of increased dust concentration. However, there are other harmful impurities in the air, if not dangerous. According to labor protection, workers are required to issue masks or respirators.
Necessarily in the premises air purification and ventilation should be carried out. In no case should the employer save on the health of workers. It is worth adding that the working capacity and well-being of the worker depend on the state of the air in the workplace.
At enterprises, such as microelectronics factories, food industry and grocery stores, operating units in hospitals, air filters must be present.
Air cleaners and humidifiers
Modern manufacturers of household appliances have invented special climate technology. In addition to fans, heaters and air conditioners, you can purchase air purifiers, humidifiers and ionizers. Devices are both multifunctional, and with one or two of the listed functions. You can add herbal medicine here.
Of course, air purification using such devices will not help if you do not carry out cleaning as often as possible. Well everything is in the complex. It is almost impossible to completely get rid of dust in a room, but you can prevent it from settling on furniture, carpets, walls and on the floor.
How do ionizers and moisturizers help? Indoor humidity is quite low. Most often does not exceed 50%. The lower the indicator, the more active the dust.
If you purchased an air purifier with a humidifying effect or with an ionization function, do not forget to periodically change the filters to clean the air inside the device. The fact that it is time to replace, the filter itself will tell. You need to open the device and see the status of the inserted special plates.
Some more tips
Do not forget about secluded places, for example between a sofa and a bedside table, under chairs and behind an armchair, under a cabinet with long legs. Especially if you have pets that can climb in and wipe all the dust with them. Do not be too lazy to get a vacuum cleaner to remove dirt.
As you can see, air purification is an important task in the life of a modern person. But do not be discouraged if you add more housework. After all, you can combine business with pleasure. How? Movement and physical activity help keep the body in good shape. You occupy yourself with the right thing, and the body will then thank you three times for cleanliness, warm-up and good mood when you see order.
