Preventing inhalation risks involves a combination of reducing exposure and increasing protection:
- Air Quality Monitoring: Use air quality indices to stay informed about outdoor air conditions and avoid outdoor activities when pollution levels are high. - Ventilation: Ensure good ventilation in homes and schools to dilute indoor pollutants. - Use of Air Purifiers: These can help reduce particulate matter and allergens in the air. - Safe Storage of Chemicals: Keep household chemicals out of childrenâs reach and use them in well-ventilated areas. - Smoking Cessation: Eliminate smoking in and around the home to reduce secondhand smoke exposure. - Regular Cleaning: Frequent cleaning reduces dust, mold, and other allergens.
