    What will you discover?

    A quick air fact from Aarav that most grown-ups get wrong.

    Key takeaways

    • Closed rooms trap the pollution made inside them.
    • Cooking without an exhaust adds a lot of fine particles.
    • Opening two windows on opposite sides clears a room fastest.
    • Children breathe more air per kilo of body weight than adults, so indoor air matters more for them.

    Questions this video answers

    Is indoor air always cleaner than outdoor air?

    No. Without ventilation, indoor air can hold more smoke and dust than the air outside.

    When should we not open the windows?

    On very high pollution days outdoors, keep them shut and ventilate at a cleaner hour instead.

    Check your kitchen while food is cooking. Is there an exhaust fan or an open window? Suggest one change at home.
