Indoor Air Pollution - Air Quality at Home

[Khriss]

Yr lungs do react to this, and yr nose n windpipe filter much out, but we lived in arid dusty plains for millions of years, so am not sure we are all gonna suffer just yet. Talc is horrific tho. K

Yes part of the reason we have a wood burner . As the chimney draws. Fresh  air from outside enters from all the cracks and vents etc . Better than sitting in stale air from central heating.

Hello

 

As part of my industrial design course, I am currently looking into indoor air pollution. I understand that air quality is a concern for many of us, so I aim to generate a solution that helps to provide cleaner air for our home environments.

A big part of designing new solutions is understanding the problem from the user perspective. Hence, it would be very helpful if you could answer a few questions about your experience with air quality at home. I look forward to gaining insight through your responses.
 

Questions:

1. Is indoor air quality something that you think about often, or that impacts you on your daily life (or that of your family members)?
2. Do you take any measures to try to protect yourself or family members from poor indoor air quality at home ?
3. Are you particularly concerned about any individual home pollutants?
4. Who do you think should be responsible for improving the quality of the air in your home (if anyone)?
5. Do you think more education about indoor air pollution is needed?
6. Would you benefit from a service that highlights low polluting home products ? How would you use this information?

Thank you,
Aaron
