Addressing this issue requires not just awareness but actionable knowledge and strategies to mitigate the adverse effects on our health.  This blog aims to guide readers through the complex issues of bad air quality, providing insights into how it might possibly affect us, reco ..read more

Outdoor air pollution is widely seen as a relatively new concern. It is one of the greatest environmental risks to humans as well as to flora and fauna. Most people believe air pollution began with the Industrial Revolution in the late 1800s and peaked with gasoline-powered vehicles. Almost every living organism on Earth breathes in some way, including trees and plants. While everyone breathes, not everyone breathes pure air. Due to human activity and natural factors, toxic elements can enter our atmosphere, the layer of gases surrounding our planet. This air pollution may endanger our healt ..read more

Volcanic ash, which consists of shattered rock particles with a diameter of less than 2 mm, is a type of natural pollutant that is sometimes disregarded. These ashes are produced during volcanic eruptions and may be heated at first but cool as they move away from the volcano. They pose heat hazards and risks to human and environmental health. These ashes may be coated with a thin, acidic layer, accelerating the deterioration of respiratory and ocular conditions. They indirectly affect water and food supply systems. Volcanic ash exposure can induce acute respiratory morbidity, particularly in ..read more

Dust is everywhere! You dust your home or office one day, and the next, you notice that fine particle of dust sparkling in the sun! It’s bothersome, but it also carries more significant risks.

One of the biggest contributors to dust pollution is construction sites. Construction dust emissions (CDE) are caused by various on-site activities, such as drilling, loading and unloading, excavation, open-air material storage, cutting and filling, and bulk material transportation, all of which harm people. Tackling dust on construction sites begins with a simple but effective strategy: containment. Whether working on a large-scale project or a small-scale restoration, dust control methods like plastic sheeting, tarps, or temporary walls can create a dust barrier system that efficiently iso ..read more
