We have known for thousands of years that not only is smoke unhealthy, there is a lot more of it in cities where more people are cooking and keeping warm. Even Ancient Rome was infamous for its large clouds of noxious industrial pollution. But it wasn’t until thousands of people were literally suffocated by the pollution on the streets of London one week in 1952 that scientists, researchers, and governments started dedicated resources to studying and solving the impact of air pollution on people and the environment.

Controlling stress is linked directly to mental and physical health and there are many ways to manage it. We all know that stress doesn’t just come in one shape; it can be physical strain, mental exhaustion, emotional fatigue, or countless others.

A recent Harvard study estimated that fossil fuel emissions caused 8 million deaths in 2018. That means pollution from burning fossil fuels was responsible for almost 20% of all deaths that year. It is difficult to estimate the total worldwide health burden of air pollution, but many scholars agree that between 5 to 9 million people die from air pollution each year.

Dry air can lead to a host of problems for your health and home. Chapped lips, dry skin, nosebleeds, and increased asthma and allergy symptoms can all be caused by a lack of moisture in the air. Low humidity can also lead to static electricity, peeling wallpaper, and cracks in your wooden furniture.
