空气污染已经成为世界上最大的环境健康风险，根据世界卫生组织(WHO)最近的一份报告，2012年约有700万人死于空气污染。新数据进一步揭示了室内和室外空气污染暴露与心血管疾病(如中风和缺血性心脏病)以及空气污染和癌症之间的更强联系。众所周知，空气污染在包括急性呼吸道感染和慢性阻塞性肺疾病在内的呼吸系统疾病的发展中所起的作用。虽然室内和室外污染都会影响健康，但最近关于家庭室内污染物(HAP)影响的统计数据令人担忧。世卫组织关于HAP与健康的情况说明书指出，每年有380万人过早死亡--包括中风、缺血性心脏病、慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)和肺癌--可归因于暴露在家庭空气污染中。使用空气净化器和过滤器是改善室内空气质量的建议策略之一。本文讨论了空气污染物对室内空气污染物的影响，以及空气过滤器在改善室内空气质量方面的好处。
Air pollution has become the world's single biggest environmental health risk, linked to around 7 million deaths in 2012 according to a recent World Health Organisation (WHO) report. The new data further reveals a stronger link between, indoor and outdoor air pollution exposure and cardiovascular diseases, such as strokes and ischemic heart disease, as well as between air pollution and cancer. The role of air pollution in the development of respiratory diseases, including acute respiratory infections and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, is well known. While both indoor and outdoor pollution affect health, recent statistics on the impact of household indoor pollutants (HAP) is alarming. The WHO factsheet on HAP and health states that 3.8 million premature deaths annually - including stroke, ischemic heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer are attributed to exposure to household air pollution. Use of air cleaners and filters are one of the suggested strategies to improve indoor air quality. This review discusses the impact of air pollutants with special focus on indoor air pollutants and the benefits of air filters in improving indoor air quality.
