What is a proactive measure to address indoor pollution?

Utilizing appropriate ventilation systems is a proactive measure to address indoor pollution because these systems are specifically designed to maintain and improve air quality within indoor environments. Proper ventilation helps to remove pollutants, including allergens, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other harmful substances that can accumulate over time. By ensuring a steady exchange of indoor and outdoor air, ventilation systems reduce the concentration of indoor air contaminants and promote a healthier living space. This approach is particularly important in environments where chemicals are used, as it mitigates their potential harmful effects by diluting their presence in the air.

In contrast, opening windows occasionally may provide some air exchange but is not a reliable or consistent solution, particularly in areas with high outdoor pollution levels or during seasonal allergens. Ignoring chemical warnings poses significant health risks, as it can lead to exposure to dangerous substances without taking any preventative action. Additionally, cleaning less frequently directly contributes to the accumulation of dust, mold, and other pollutants, exacerbating indoor air quality issues instead of improving them.
