How Does Air Pollution Affect Life Expectancy in India’s Capital?

  Air pollution is increasing and air quality in Delhi is deteriorating each year. The Indian capital is one of the most polluted cities in the world, with carcinogenic chemicals, nitrogen dioxide, and sulphur dioxide being emitted from vehicles and industry — these pollutants cause diseases including asthma, lung cancer, and even heart attacks. The World Health Organization (WHO) has labeled the city’s air quality as “very unhealthy” for days that are not windy. This means that it is worse than the pollution levels in Beijing, China, or Tehran, Iran, which were once designated as the world’s worst cities for air quality. According to a new study (The Air Quality Life Index® & The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC), the air pollution in Delhi could lead to ten years of life lost in the next two decades, and that’s not even counting the damage done on account of burning rich fuel. Millions of people are exposed to unhealthy levels of pollution every day which causes respir...

AAF Saudi pioneer in the Clear Air Solutions, Pure IAQ Solutions provider and air filter manufacturer

  Did you know that there is a huge difference in the quality of air that we breathe in indoor spaces and outdoor spaces? Moreover, the surprising factor is that indoor air pollution is considerably higher than outdoors! Market reports have proven that we spend 90 percent of our time in an indoor space. These indoor spaces may be either in the house or in the office. The air that we breathe in indoor spaces has a substantial impact on our health. Everyday items such as cleaning agents, paints, and furniture make a substantial contribution to bad indoor quality. They release pollutants/ contaminants in the form of particulate and gas-phase, which can trigger or worsen asthma and allergies. The air filtration solutions that we use to tackle impure air, improve the indoor air quality level and ensure circulation of clean air in any room, be it domestic spaces, commercial offices, private rooms, operating theaters, laboratories, or in the cleanrooms required by industry.

These VOCs are everywhere in both indoor and outdoor environments because they have be...
