Domestic pollution: watch out for the kitchen!

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), most of us spend most of our time in enclosed spaces and according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the indoor air is five times more polluted than the air outside. These two figures clearly indicate how important it is to take certain precautions and adopt new behaviours to protect ourselves from the consequences of domestic pollution.
It is estimated that about one third of the respiratory problems, such as allergies and asthma, from which the European population suffers are directly linked to domestic pollution.
