Clean Air at Home
Air pollution doesnt just come from factories and our cars. We also cause it at home with the products we use and the way we live. Air indoors can be polluted by cleaning products, dust, paint, insect sprays, cigarette smoke or steam from cooking. We often need to keep doors and windows closed to keep the insides of our houses cool in the summer or warm in the winter. This traps pollutants and can make places for insects, dust mites and mould to live. Some pollutants such as smoke and insect sprays can cause breathing problems such as asthma, especially for those people who are allergic to dust. To reduce air pollution at home you should open the doors and windows 2-3 times a day, use natural cleaning products, and do not allow smoking.

2 If we dont allow fresh air into our houses frequently then we trap pollutants (Если мы не обеспечивает приток свежайшего воздуха в наши дома довольно нередко, то мы удерживаем загрязнения снутри).
3 Stale air can cause breathing problems such as asthma especially for people who are allergic to dust (Спертый воздух может вызвать задачи с дыханием, такие как астма, неподражаемо у людей, страдающих аллергией на пыль).
