With the increasing air pollution, your infant's health can be at risk. Air quality is a significant indicator that might affect your infant's health. In this case, it becomes important to ensure optimal indoor AQI.

But before that, it's important to understand how Bad air quality can affect your infant's health. Follow up on this blog to know more!
Here are a few repercussions your child may have to deal with because of poor indoor air quality:
Respiratory Diseases
Infants and children are comparatively more sensitive to bad air quality. This can be because their organs are still developing and have higher air-per-body intake. Bad Indoor Air Quality can lead to respiratory diseases. Not only that but a poor AQI can also cause reduced lung function development and increased asthma incidence.
Neurodevelopment and Cognitive Ability
Air pollution affects neurodevelopment, leading to lower cognitive test outcomes, and negatively affecting mental and motor development. The first 1,000 days of a baby’s life are a critical period of vulnerability to air pollution. Exposure during this period can alter their physical and cognitive development.
Chronic Diseases
As per the World Health Organization, children who have been exposed to high levels of air pollution may be at a greater risk for chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease later in life.
