It could be polluting your home
Since the pandemic many people have been spending more time at home than they did before lockdown, with many adding home offices, gyms and creative spaces into the mix. However, most people have not considered how dirty the air inside their home is.
Scented candles and cleaning products could slowly be polluting your home with particles in the air, which could be putting you at risk of serious health problems, explains TV doctor Amir Khan.Speaking in a video posted on his Twitter, Dr Khan said: “When we normally think of air pollution, we think of outside - cars, planes, emissions - that kind of thing. But there are common household items that can pollute the inside of our homes.
The perils of wood-burning stoves and open fires Wood-burning stoves and open fires can produce something called 'particulate matter'. The term refers to a mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets found in the air. Dr Khan explained: "These tiny particles when breathed in can damage our lungs and increase our risk of lung cancer in the long term." The health body also linked particle pollution to eye, lung and throat irritation, trouble breathing and problems with babies at birth.
