Discover why indoor air quality is a major issue for our daily health and well-being. Did you know that we spend 80 to 90% of our time in enclosed spaces where the air can be up to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air? This invisible pollution comes from many sources: outdoor emissions, building materials, poorly maintained equipment, and everyday activities such as cooking or using household cleaning products.
In this video, ADEME explores the origins of indoor air pollution, its consequences on health (irritations, fatigue, allergies, respiratory diseases, asthma, cancers) and its impact on concentration and cognitive performance, particularly in schools and offices.
But there are simple and effective solutions to improve air quality at home and at work: ventilate regularly, maintain heating and ventilation, favour ecological cleaning products, avoid tobacco and artificial perfumes.
ADEME also emphasizes the importance of collective commitment, with a key role for building professionals and individuals, in order to reconcile energy performance and healthy air.
Good indoor air quality is a fundamental right, a matter of social justice, and a key driver for a responsible energy transition. Let's work together for cleaner air, better health, and a better life for all.
