Research analyzed on SKAI and the show “Live You” by the professor of Pulmonology, Nikos Tzanakis, shows that the pollution which we accept depends on him floor where we stay…

The lower floors are burdened more, according to the professor who explains how: “Air pollution is subject to the laws of gravity, so the particles and what we inhale settles and is in increased concentrations in lower layers of the atmosphere.”

In a question about whether someone who lives on the 1st or 2nd floor burdened more than someone who lives in the 4th or 5th, the professor answers:

“In terms of outdoor air pollution yes.” “Indoor air pollution is another chapter. One must take into account the layout of the spaces, exactly what emissions of harmful substances are present inside the house. If, for example, someone cooks with gas, it is more harmful than an electric stove.”

Regarding what we should do to avoid pollutants, the professor emphasizes how “such general measures must be taken. The use of MMM is the first and the special and individual measures that each of us can take is to we avoid traffic outdoors during peak traffic hours and on days of increased air pollution.”

As for the fireplacesthe professor emphasizes that “whoever has a fireplace and is exposed 4-6 hours a dayhowever well this works it’s like smoking 3-4 cigarettes a daybecause the fireplace no matter how well it works. It emits significant amounts of particles in the house, which can irritate, cause an exacerbation of a respiratory problem, burden a cardiovascular patient, burden a newborn, a pregnant woman.”

Mr. Tzanakis finally points out that it is best not to use the fireplace as the main means of heating.
