Air pollution is not just an outdoor problem but is also an indoor issue, as indoor air quality is far worse than outdoor air. Indoor air is full of dust, pollutants, and increased carbon dioxide levels that may affect our brain function. Tap to know more!
The indoor air quality is not good for our health as there is a high amount of carbon dioxide instead of oxygen, which makes our brain tired and causes brain fog.
Poor ventilation can also cause brain fog due to increased carbon dioxide, low oxygen levels, buildup of pollutants, and more in the room.
Poor indoor air quality can disrupt sleep, leading to less rest for brain. This can make you feel forgetful, unfocused, and mentally tired.
A room with poor ventilation may affect your breathing due to dust exposure, which may travel to your brain and reduce oxygen supply, making it hard to focus.
The mould can grow in damped and enclosed spaces, whose spores may spread in air and inflames the body and brain, leading to brain fog and low energy.
According to PubMed, indoor air quality can cause brain fog due to disrupted sleep, dust exposure, and more. It is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for personalised suggestions.
