Seven Problems:
1.- Outdoor air pollution
Outdoor air pollution (NOx, SO, O3, CO, CO2 and others) entering the home, and indoor air pollution (VOC, CO2) (NOx, SO, O3, CO, CO2 and others) entering the home, and indoor air pollution (VOC, CO2)
2. Lack of humidity in the environment
Lack of humidity in the indoor environment causes dryness of the mucous membranes and makes us weaker against viruses and bacteria.
3.- Thorough cleaning
Thorough cleaning of some surfaces inside the house of some surfaces
4.- The entry of pathogens
The entry of pathogens and dirt through shoes when we enter the house
5.- Mold that settles in humid areas
Mold that is deposited in damp areas due to water residues or in non-damp areas due to condensation humidity
6.- Electrosmog or electromagnetic waves
Electrosmog or electromagnetic waves generated by some appliances we use at home: microwaves, Wi-Fi, mobile phones, etc.
7.- Dust in suspension
Suspended dust, pollen, PM-2.5, PM-10, etc…

Seven Solutions:
1- Control polluted air
To control the contaminated air that enters our home or is generated inside it and to purify the indoor air, there are air purifiers on the market with HEPA filters that keep the indoor air at an acceptable quality level, and that will allow us to “compensate” for the air we have breathed outside the home all day.
2.- Control the level of indoor humidity and CO2
To control the level of indoor humidity and CO2, there are devices on the market that allow us to control them in order to humidify the environment and/or ventilate the excess ppm of CO2. For this purpose, there are room humidifiers and CO2 and ambient humidity controllers, which can be managed through APP's.
3.- Good bactericidal and virucidal cleaning
To perform a good bactericidal and virucidal cleaning, there are products on the market that can perform this type of cleaning periodically.

4.- Provide a space to clean shoes
You should plan a space to clean your shoes and leave them when you enter the house, by placing a coconut doormat (washable) and/or a shoe rack where you can leave your shoes when you enter the house.
5.- Avoid mold in the bathrooms
To avoid mould in bathrooms, dry the screens well after each use and ventilate them for a while. Ventilation can be direct natural ventilation or forced ventilation through extractors.
6.- Clean the electrosmog
To remove electrosmog, you must ventilate the entire house daily, and if possible, twice a day.
7.- Control suspended dust and pollen
To control suspended dust and pollen, there are air purifiers that attract these particles, filter the air and return the filtered air. This measure must be complemented with daily dust extraction using manual or programmable automatic vacuum cleaners.
