Bad Air: What are we Breathing?

In an age where we obsess over the food we eat and the water we drink, we rarely think about our most immediate environmental interaction: breathing. "Bad Air" pulls back the curtain on the complex cocktail of pollutants we inhale every day, from the subtle chemicals off-gassing from our furniture to the industrial emissions reshaping our atmosphere. Author Kevin B. DiBacco takes readers on a compelling journey through the science of air quality, breaking down complex concepts into digestible insights that will forever change how you think about the air around you. The book combines cutting-edge research with practical solutions, offering readers both understanding and actionable steps for protection. From the shocking truth about indoor air (often more polluted than outdoors) to the hidden dangers in "clean" scents, each chapter reveals another layer of our air quality crisis. But rather than just sound alarms, "Bad Air" empowers readers with specific strategies for creating cleaner air spaces in their homes, offices, and communities. Whether you're a parent concerned about your children's health, a professional looking to optimize your work environment, or simply someone who breathes, this book provides essential knowledge for navigating our increasingly polluted world. With detailed guides for choosing air purifiers, understanding air quality indexes, and recognizing early warning signs of poor air quality, "Bad Air" serves as both a wake-up call and a practical manual for better breathing.
