You are reading right, there is not only outdoor pollution, indoor pollution can be even worst because of restricted ventilation inside houses. According to the American Medical Association, 50% of all illnesses are caused or aggravated by polluted indoor air. Indoor pollution is caused by sources such as building materials, furnishings and household products like air fresheners, all of which may release pollutants especially solvents, sometime over decades. Other sources related to some activities like painting carried out at home, release pollutants intermittently. These include smoking, the use of non vented or malfunctioning stoves, furnaces, or space heaters, the use of solvents in cleaning and hobby activities, the use of paint strippers in redecorating activities, and the use of cleaning products and pesticides in house-keeping. High pollutant concentrations can remain in the air for long periods after some of these activities were performed. Immediate health effects may show up after a single exposure or after repeated exposures. These include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Such immediate effects are usually short-term and treatable. Sometimes the treatment is simply eliminating the person’s exposure to the source of the pollution, if it can be identified. Symptoms of some diseases, including asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and humidifier fever may also show up soon after exposure to some indoor air pollutants. Long term exposure can lead to Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). SBS consists of a group of non-specific symptoms, which according to a World Health Organisation (WHO) definition can include any of the following: Eye, nose or throat irritation; A sensation of dry mucous membranes; Dry skin, rash; Mental fatigue; Headaches; nausea; Dizziness; Coughing; Hoarseness; Wheezing; Itching and unspecific hypersensitivity reactions.

The first recommendation is ventilate your house daily for at least 15 minutes to renew the air inside the house. Besides, when you are using materials with solvents, or that smell very strong, make sure you ventilate your house on a regular basis until the smell is not noticeable anymore. In any case, to be on the safe side, the best is to avoid the use of toxic materials inside your house. There are now available on the market many cleaning products that do not contain harmful substances. You can find them in health food stores and in some supermarkets.

Pollution liability insurance is known as “pollution incidents”" in the insurance world. There is a thought to suggest that this insurance policy came into picture following the great amount of asbestos litigation in the 1970s. It was around that time that insurers thought it better to do away with pollution liability insurance in general policies and instead offer it independently.

Pollution liability insurance protects you in two ways: one is when the pollution takes place on your property; the other is when you suffer losses resulting from pollution on somebody else’s property. In such cases, it is the insurer’s responsibility to recover costs from the party that caused the incident. Conversely, your policy pays for damages you may cause to other properties.

Frequently, I get chain letters and nice presentations to my E-mail box containing some “wisdom” that my friends believe they must share with me and all their friends. It could be about Love, Happiness, Friendship, Money and other “life philosophies”. Some of them even contain a threat that if I do not pass it on, something terrible will happen to me, and if I do pass them on, I’ll get a reward… I am sure that all of you who communicate through e-mail know what I am talking about…

Many times I get the same presentation again and again. I do wander sometimes why people continue this chain of e-mails although some of them are really rubbish, what is the power in this tool that makes our brain numb?
