Indoor Smog?

Inside air more polluted than outside air - study


Over eighty leading professionals in air-conditioning in hot environments on Friday attended an expert seminar in Dar es Salaam.

Participants came from different countries, from such rare fields as architects, building contractors, project engineers and consultants.

The event was organised by Carrier Air Conditioning, at which issues such as current global warming and energy crisis were discussed at length.

A recent press release from Royal Furnishers Ltd said participants also showcased a wide range of products that are designed to suit the growing requirements of the market.

The adverse impact of sub-standard products flooding the domestic market was also discussed.

According to a recent study carried out in Britain, ``the air inside an office is probably ten times more polluted than the outside air`` and we spend 90 percent of our time in enclosed spaces.

Hence, it was important to use air conditioners in places of work for better health of the workers, it said.
