Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Ten activities that contribute pollution to indoor air has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Atmosphere: The atmosphere is defined as air that is layer of gases which surrounds the earth due to gravity of earth.
The earth atmosphere consists of layers such as thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere and troposphere depending on the temperature and its composition.
Air pollutants:
They can be any solid particles, liquid droplets or gases which adversely affect the human health and also pollute the atmosphere.
Indoor pollutants:
The type of indoor pollutants includes vapours from paints, furniture, tobacco smoke etc.
The volatile organic compounds produced from chemicals and solvents also cause indoor air pollution.
