The present world is dealing with some of the major issues, air pollution being one of 
them. Life without air is impossible. If correctly written, life without fresh air is 
impossible. But according to some global reports, the quality of fresh air is degrading 
day by day specially in cities.
AQI or Air Quality Index is used by government agencies to communicate to the 
public how polluted the air currently is or forecasted to become. Public health risks 
increase as the AQI rises. The objective of an AQI is to quickly disseminate air quality 
information (almost in real-time) that entails the system to account for pollutants which 
have short-term impacts.
Eight parameters (PM10, PM2.5, NO2, SO2, CO, O3, NH3, Pb) having short-
term standards have been considered for near real-time dissemination of AQI.
There are relatively many awareness programs about the hazardous consequences of 
outdoor air pollution compared to indoors but it is observed that most number of people 
residing in cities pass 3/4th  of their time indoors.
Indoors in the sense – offices, schools, malls, etc., meaning they are confined to the 
quality of air present indoors, and needless to say affects the health of those who are 
inhaling adversely. 
Indoor Air Quality refers to the 
constituents of surrounding air of 
an apartment, building, 
residential environment or any 
bounded atmosphere. 
• Headache
• Dizziness
• ENT Irritation
• Suffocation
Few of the simple health effects to begin with.
These effects may not be diagnosed early but continuous exposure can lead to fatal 
consequences, necessitating the importance of Indoor Air Quality, even if there is no 
pre-sign of any dangerous diseases.
It is not necessary that every pollutant is fatal, it depends upon the exposure, duration 
and the amount in which they are inhaled.
Steps to enhance the Indoor Air Quality are 
• Identification
• Elimination 
Same in case for indoor air quality, identify the pollutants and eliminate them. The 
techniques that can be practiced are:
• Keep surroundings and indoors clean by regular dusting, vacuuming, etc.
• Changing of air filter of coolers and heaters, regular dusting of ceiling fans
• Use of air fumigants
 The first two are tried and tested methods, but do not disinfect the air up to the mark. 
It has been observed that air fumigation is the best way to treat indoor air and is the 
most effective way against most pathogenic microorganisms.
Indoor Air Fumigation
Indoor Air Fumigation is a mechanism of controlling indoor air pollution carried out in 
enclosed areas through chemical release or spray in order to kill pathogens 
microorganisms and contaminants. The whole fumigation process is carried out by 
releasing or spraying the fumigant solution in the targeted area.
The enclosed space is kept undisturbed for a short period of time. In that time, the 
fumigant infiltrates in the closed spaces, traps all contaminants, eliminating them. Then 
the space is opened and all the toxic pollutants are ventilated making the area pollution 
free to a maximum extent.
Already mandatory in hospitals, pharmaceuticals and other institutes, many residential 
complexes and room facilities are today opting for air fumigation as this process 
disabling the activity of microbial agents.
Hydrogen Peroxide with Silver has been found to be effective in various applications like 
food processing, dairy, agriculture, hospitals, poultry, air conditioning and pipelines for 
disinfection and sanitation. It can also be used as fumigant and eradicate contaminants 
from air within enclosed entities.
Hydrogen Peroxide rapidly disintegrates into hydrogen and water without forming any 
toxic by-products, enabling an increase in oxygen molecules. The disinfecting property 
of hydrogen peroxide depends on these free oxygen radicals that help disintegrate the 
pollutants leaving water as residues, through oxidation. The popularity of hydrogen 
peroxide as a disinfectant is because of its solubility in water and also it doses not 
produce any toxic gases.
FDA has already approved the usage of 7.5% 
Hydrogen Peroxide for air fumigation.
