Vent-Axia shares tips to love your lungs and stay healthy this Clean Air Day
Leading British ventilation manufacturer Vent-Axia shared a range of tips on how to love your lungs on Clean Air Day, which took place on Thursday 16 June 2022.
Led by environmental charityGlobal Action Plan, Clean Air Day aims to improve public understanding of air pollution, build awareness of how air pollution affects our health and explain the easy actions we can all take to tackle air pollution, helping protect the environment and our health.
Vent-Axia is aiming to raise the issue of how indoor air pollution, as well as outdoor air pollution, can affect our health. Indoor air pollution can affect lung health and is linked to increased risk of pneumonia, COPD and lung cancer. If an asthma sufferer has an allergic reaction to a pollutant in the air, this can also make asthma symptoms worse.
To support the campaign, Vent-Axia is trying to help the public create some breathing space by sharing six useful tips that will help them take care of their lungs. For people with lung conditions, good indoor air quality (IAQ) is especially important. Key to tackling indoor air pollution and improving IAQ is to ‘reduce – dilute – purify’ and so Vent-Axia is sharing the following six tips to help take care of your lungs: Reduce the use of aerosols and use eco-friendly cleaning products Don’t smoke and avoid anyone smoking indoors Don’t forget to ventilate Stay active Breathe deeply Use an air purifier “We are pleased to once again be supporting Clean Air Day, which is now in its sixth year, especially during a time when good lung health is more important than ever. It is vital to reduce indoor air pollution to protect the health of your whole body,” said Lena Hebestreit, marketing manager at VentAxia. “To improve IAQ there are three main actions to take: Reduce the number of pollutants introduced into the air; Dilute the pollutants in the air by ensuring there is adequate ventilation introducing fresh clean air; and Purify by adding an air purifier to remove the remaining pollutants from the air.”
