Air quality is a crucial factor that significantly affects our health and well-being. While we often focus on outdoor pollution, indoor air quality can be just as concerning, if not more so. In fact, studies have shown that indoor air can be more polluted than outdoor air, primarily due to various pollutants that accumulate in enclosed spaces.

As urban environments continue to expand, city dwellers are increasingly feeling the effects of elevated temperatures known as the urban heat island effect. This phenomenon occurs when urban areas become significantly warmer than their rural surroundings due to human activities, extensive use of dark surfaces, and a lack of vegetation.
