Scientists have discovered that the human body can have a major effect on the air chemistry around it when indoors.
Air pollution is a massive problem. Outdoors, though, the sun, falling rain, and even oxidation that happens naturally help clear the air. But, when you’re indoors, many of those factors aren’t at play. Instead, a new study says that humans may be the dominant changer of air chemistry indoors, a discovery many weren’t expecting.Caption taken from publication injournal. “Simulated air velocity and air temperature distribution inside the chamber as calculated using CFD modeling.
It’s an intriguing discovery and one that continues to prove just how amazing the human body is. Not only are we a source of reactive chemicals, but we can also transform those chemicals. Nora Zannoni, an atmospheric chemist from the Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate in Italy, explained in a post from theThis new research could change how we measure the quality of indoor air using systems like Alex’s air quality monitor.
