The indoor microbiome, while often overlooked, is crucial for our health, significantly influencing our respiratory health, immune function, and mental wellbeing. Experts urge more awareness.
The design of our living spaces impacts microbial populations; natural light, ventilation systems, and building materials can promote or inhibit certain microbes' growth.
The 'hygiene hypothesis' supports the notion that early exposure to diverse microbes can train the immune system, reducing risks of allergies and autoimmune diseases.
While diverse microbes can enhance health, certain exposures pose risks, emphasizing the fine line in managing our indoor microbial environment for optimal wellbeing.
