Meemansa Shekhawat

 Amid the deteriorating air quality, it is vital to take care of the health. But do you know how you're unknowingly making your AQI exposure worse? 

1. Not using air purifiers: Air purifiers can improve the quality of the air indoors, while reducing your exposure to dust and pollutants. 

2. Poor ventilation: Poor ventilation causes pollutants to accumulate inside. 

3. Smoking: Excessive smoking only escalates your exposure to poor air quality. 

4. Avoiding wearing mask: Always wear a face mask while stepping outside, which provides a significant line of defense against dust and pollutants. 

5. Ignoring indoor pollution sources: Household activities such as burning incense or candles, and using chemical-containing cleaning products lead to pollution indoors.
