Call for Open Action<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The World Economic Forum has publicly issued an appeal for global action to combat indoor air pollution\u2014a topic that Marquis Intelligence<\/strong> has been actively addressing for years, with a special focus on its impact on health, daily functioning, and long-term consequences.<\/p>\n

Air pollution is often invisible, but its effects are deeply felt. Every day. In our bodies. In our healthcare systems. Today, air pollution is no longer a topic reserved for scientific circles. Leading authorities from science, business, and politics are engaging in dialogue about its effects.<\/p>\n

W<\/strong>orld Economic Forum Sounds the Alarm<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to the World Economic Forum report, indoor air pollution is linked to 3.2 million premature deaths each year.
\nWhy indoors, not outdoors?
\nBecause we spend 60 to 90% of our time indoors.<\/p>\n

And yet, regulations permit significantly higher concentrations of pollutants in indoor air compared to outdoor air.<\/p>\n

According to Harvard University research, people spend on average 65% of their lives in their homes.
\nIf you are lucky enough to live to 80, that means 55 years spent indoors.
\nThe average person inhales about 12,000 litres of air per day\u2014more than 10,000 litres of which are inhaled indoors.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why Harvard emphasises: most exposure to outdoor air pollution happens indoors.<\/p>\n

While outdoor air pollution is widely discussed, indoor air is dangerously neglected – both in regulation and public discourse.
\nYet it is the closest to our health.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we spend most of our lives indoors, then the air we breathe there must be safe.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>

Harvard: Scientific Evidence Must Be Applied<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At the panel \u201cBreathing Easier: The Pursuit of Clean Air\u201d, organised by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, many long-discussed claims in expert circles were confirmed:<\/p>\n
