If you stand in the wrong position when using a vacuum cleaner, be careful that it is harmful to your health! A domestic doctor warned that the exhaust hole of the vacuum cleaner will spray out tiny dirt. If you stand behind the exhaust hole to vacuum the floor, your lungs may become another filter and you will inhale more harmful substances. It is recommended to wear a mask when using a vacuum cleaner, and the exhaust hole must also be equipped with a filter.
Don’t stand behind the exhaust hole. The concentration of suspended particles may hurt your lungs.
When the vacuum cleaner passes by, all the dust on the ground is taken away. However, if you stand in the wrong position at this time, it will accumulate for a long time and may cause lung problems or even cancer risks.
Zhou Baiqian, attending physician of the Department of Thoracic Surgery at the Taipei Medical University Hospital, said that he originally wanted to use a vacuum cleaner to clean the floor, but in the process of sucking it in, the exhaust port discharged it again, which would create unexpected risks. A filter is a better choice.
Chen Jinxing, director of the Department of Surgery at the National Taiwan University Hospital, also reminded that when using a vacuum cleaner, not only should you wear a mask, but you should also not stand behind the exhaust port, otherwise our lungs will become another filter. He suggested using a sweeping robot, but do not stay in the same room with it to avoid sucking in the raised dust.

In addition, cooking is also a major source of indoor air pollution. Doctors recommend wearing a mask and turning on the range hood. If there is new decoration in your home or office, try to open the windows for at least 1 month to allow formaldehyde and other substances to evaporate completely before moving in. Doctors point out that you should not use your own lungs to filter the air.
Zhou Baiqian said, “I often see patients move into a new home for four to six months. Because they did not pay attention to the suspended particles in the closet and the suspended particles in the closed room, they come to the doctor with chronic cough and chest pain and chest tightness.”
Air pollution does not distinguish between indoors and outdoors, and even the cleaning methods have details to pay attention to.
