Riverdale, July 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fireworks are essential for numerous US celebrations, notably the Fourth of July. Fireworks, bonfires, road trips, and other activities characteristic of long summer breaks in the United States can all significantly impact air quality, both indoor and outdoor.
In a new resource, air quality professionals from global air filtration manufacturer Camfil explain the pollution types released by fireworks, their impact on air quality, and other major factors affecting summer air quality.
“Most central air conditioning systems use panel filters that safeguard the equipment from large particles but are not efficient enough to shield building occupants from finer particulate matter or from gaseous pollutants,” shares Mark Davidson, a Camfil air quality specialist with over a decade of experience in the industry, “Consequently, HVAC systems may continuously recirculate contaminated air and introduce polluted outdoor air into the airflow.”
The article covers the following topics:
- What air pollutants come from fireworks?
- How do fireworks affect air quality on the 4th of July?
- What other factors affect air quality during the summer?
- How does summer pollution affect indoor air quality?
