air pollution is to stop travelling during peak hours when
the pollution level is at its peak. Make sure to keep your
windows up while in the car.
2. Avoid Exposure To Smoke:
If you are a person who spends a lot of time in the
kitchen, make sure to fit a chimney or an exhaust fan in
the kitchen in order to avoid exposing yourself to smoke
too much. Make sure to use a gas or fire stove instead of
the wooden ones that cause a high amount of air
pollution.

If you are a person who loves to exercise, make sure to
exercise when the pollution level is very low, that is,
during early mornings. Make sure to avoid exercising
during times when the pollution level is high and also
avoid places where the pollution level is high. Look for
clean and clear stretches of land and places far away
from factory areas.



4. Air Cleanser Installation:

which is portable. This will help to keep the air in your
house pollution free.
