People worried about indoor air quality as well as outdoor
Over half of consumers in Asia, Europe and the USA are worried about their indoor air quality, according to exclusive new research by CINT research commissioned by Blueair, the global indoor air purifier manufacturer. Some 57 percent of men and women aged between 25-50 years in China, Japan, Sweden, the UK and United States said they were concerned about the quality of their indoor air, although just 37 percent said they were worried enough to buy an indoor air purifier.
The research of 1,500 men and women consumers provides an interesting snapshot of what consumers really worry about when it comes to the air they breathe at home and work. For example, householders are far more likely to be offended by cooking and baking smells at home than any other odors, including smoking, according to the Blueair survey, while office workers most worried about their air being contaminated by highly infectious airborne cold and flu viruses.
The Blueair study found smelly pets, cooking and baking smells and tobacco and cigar smoke offend people the most at home, while fear of cold and flu bugs spreading is widespread among office workers.
