Abstract
This guide explores the nature, sources, and impacts of urban air pollution, emphasizing both outdoor and indoor environments. It highlights that air pollution, often invisible and odorless, can significantly affect health, with vehicles, especially diesel ones, being major contributors. Vulnerable groups, such as infants, children, pregnant women, and the elderly, are particularly at risk. The guide provides practical tips to minimize exposure, noting that air pollution varies by time of day and season, often worsening in colder months and during rush hours. Indoor pollution, caused by activities like cooking, cleaning, and using certain household products, also poses significant health risks. The guide advises on ventilation and safer practices to reduce indoor pollution. Special attention is given to air quality around schools and the negative impact of vehicle idling, offering strategies to protect children from pollution.
