How To Reduce Air Pollution In Your Daily Life ?
Start from yourselves and your family. Of course, you cannot change the environment of your living or working area by yourselves, but you can reduce the asthma triggers that can harm you and your family by having a healthier lifestyle. Below are some actions that each individual can do to help reducing air pollution (from the ‘National Safety Council’) :
1.
Limit
driving, use public transportation, walk, use carpools, bike, or so forth.
o Keep your car well maintained, especially the emissions control system. o Keep tires properly inflated. o Maintain your vehicle's air conditioning system — do not allow it to leak. o Make fewer trips in your vehicle — plan routes to avoid traffic. o Reduce fuel use as often as possible — a vehicle's shape and design features can affect its fuel use.
2. Defer lawn and gardening chores that use gasoline-powered equipment on high ground level ozone days. 3. Eat organically grown food, or at least less pesticide-dependant foods. 4. Limit dry cleaning. 5. Postpone using oil-based paint and solvents on high ground level ozone days. 6. Reduce consumption of electricity — conserving reduces emissions of SO2, NOx, VOCs and particulate matter into the air. 7. Start charcoal with an electric or chimney-type fire starter instead of lighter fluid. 8. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle — less consumption of products will reduce all types of air pollution! 9. Replace hairspray with mousse or styling gel. For perfume, use roll-on or stick types.
