CLEANLINESS redefined

CLEANLINESS!!!  CLEANLINESS!!! 

Cleanliness is what meets our eyes. 
Should not cleanliness be also what meets our nose. 
Very very sadly, #cleanliness is also what we do not see.  
Everything about and around us from our home, to our car, office, places of study, the gym we go to and restaurants may appear clean and invitinf......but ARE THEY ALL CLEAN? 

Is it actually clean? 
How and wherefrom did the words, #SICK #BUILDING #SYNDROME surface from?
Just because we do not see any dirt or the place and space appear to be clean, does not mean that the #interiorspace is clean,safe and harmless?  

Did you know that microscopic particles such as #dust, dust #mitedroppings, dead and rotting mites, pet #dander, #pollen, #spores, bacteria, and so many other too small to be seen microorganisms and particulates fill the interior space of most people occupied indoor air space and and premises. 

All and some of these indoor #airborne floats have differing effects on people's well being and can be just temporary and gone or be of repetitive recurrences. It can be dramatic enough to warrant hospitalisation and in some cases even death. People with poorer immunity for  respiratory related short comings, asthmatics and allergen prone are among the worst of indoor suffering beings. 


Broadly categorised as #indoor #air #pollution, enough reports and studies have confirmed that #indoorair #pollution is many times worse off than #outdoor #air #pollution. Even up to ten times and in cities and industrial sites, it is much much more. 

Modern architecture has adopted a concealed indoor approach for purposes of energy saving. That approach as also curtailed #airflow and #airexchange. This has resulted in indoor accumulates of all sorts of "debris". 

Whatever that came in from the outside as dust, pollen or from upon people's wear remains indoors. We are also our own culprits adding more of such invisible #pollutes to the indoor air. 
Our #indoor #cleaningprocesses are also culprits adding to ruined #indoorair. Heading the list is the almost daily used brooms and vacuum cleaners. Brooms  stir the settled dust, off the floor to orbit in our indoor space. #Vacuumcleaners literally pump into our indoor air, the finest of dust particles and bred microorganisms. These floats remain air borne for hours and people movement keep them afloat and air borne for hours. Vacuum cleaners in particular, contribute immensely to #indoor #airpollution. What they pick up as the "smaller but heavier" particles off the carpet, sofa, cushions, pillows, upholstery and mattresses do not get to be retained within but expelled via the exhaust back into the air. What the brooms and vacuum cleaners throw into indoor air space gets inhaled. Add to these what flies out and off the filters in air purifiers and air conditioners.  

Is that all? All that we spoke of are "countable" "invisible" particulates. There are more. These are also invisible. These are what we bring into our homes and occupied space through cleaning agents, aerosols, furniture and indoor decorative. The liberated gas, fume and vapour off the chemicals used and included in these products is unbelievable. Referred to as #volatile #organiccompounds, these are used by manufacturers into an assortmrent of home used products. They leave excessive "off gas" indoors. These get inhaled in our occupied indoor hours. Children, seniors and home stay adults are the first and worst off victims.   


We actually no longer have #safe and #healthy #indoorhours. Today our living is up to 80 per cent of the day, indoors.  
Our life is #indoorlife. We no longer spend 20 or 10 percent of a day, outdoors. Add your sleep hours, office hours, travel hours and mall hours and you will know what it is that you are breathing. 
You will know why #indoor #air is taking its toll on #indoor #occupants.

An in door demonstration illustrates status of INDOOR AIR QUALITY and its contents. Very disturbing. More important is what could be done to rid, reduce or minimise air borne pollutes. In addition, we who live life more hours daily indoors within home and office begin to understand, what is it we are breathing daily. At home, the bedroom air scenario has the worst air space of daily lived indoor life.
