Indoor Pollution

For my video, I wanted to communicate and bring social awareness to indoor pollution. Learning about it in class was very interesting to me. Whenever I think of pollution I think of the pollutants outside and how it affects people’s everyday life when it can be inside as well. When approaching this topic of toxic chemicals and gases, smoke detectors can help warn you. My thought was, in my house, our smoke detectors don’t work. I haven’t been using them for over a year and that’s dangerous to me. I’ve been exposed and inhaling fumes this whole time. I could be in danger. When covid-19 hit, we’ve been quarantining for a year now and we only been inside distancing ourselves. People living in a home have been using materials that can cause health issues and we had no notice of this. It’s scary and I’m glad I’ve learned about it. I wish this PSA was longer because then I can add more solutions and talk about quarantine. Now the summer is coming around we can open up windows for fresh air to blow through. The most meaningful thing was getting this message across. I want others to be aware of not only the pollutants outside but when you’re inside too.
