1.Understanding Indoor Air Pollution: Sources, effects, and risks associated with indoor air pollution.
2. How Air Purifiers Work: Principles, technologies, and mechanisms of air purification.
3. Benefits of Air Purifiers: Improved health, reduced allergy symptoms, and enhanced well-being.
Outline

• Understanding Indoor Air Pollution
  - Sources: tobacco smoke, cooking fumes, pet dander, mold, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
  - Effects: respiratory problems, allergies, headaches, and long-term health risks
  - Risks: increased risk of cardiovascular disease, lung cancer, and other health issues
• How Air Purifiers Work
  - Mechanical filtration: HEPA filters capture 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns
  - Activated carbon filtration: absorbs gases, odors, and VOCs
  - UV light technology: kills bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms
  - Ionizers: release negative ions to attract and trap pollutants
• Benefits of Air Purifiers
  - Reduced allergy and asthma symptoms
• Types of Air Purifiers
  - HEPA: effective against particulate matter, but may not capture gases or odors
• Choosing the Right Air Purifier
• Maintenance and Upkeep
  - Filter replacement: regular replacement of filters to ensure optimal

summary

1. Indoor air pollution is a significant health risk
