Air pollution continues to be a growing concern, impacting us in various ways. Recent findings from the 2023 Air Quality Life Index (AQLI) report by the University of Chicago`s Energy Policy Institute, reveal that fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5) is projected to reduce the life expectancy of the average Indian by 5.3 years. In Delhi, often termed the world`s most polluted city, this reduction can be as high as 11.9 years compared to World Health Organization (WHO) standards.
Notably, indoor air quality can be up to five times worse than outdoor air. With an increasing amount of time spent indoors, the quality of the air we breathe is becoming an increasingly common concern, given its potential to cause various short- and long-term health issues. While discussions on air pollution frequently centre on outdoor environments, it is crucial to recognise its profound impact on our indoor spaces and take proactive measures to safeguard our well-being.
