Air pollution… you must have heard of this. But do you realize the severity of it? Studies claim that indoor air pollution is known to have caused over 3.3 million deaths and 2.6 million deaths were the result of outdoor air pollution. Is this because of poor air quality or some other reason? While lower IAQ levels may be a factor, they certainly are not the only ones. Many people are not even aware of the dangers they have exposed themselves to or do not have enough resources available at hand to mitigate the effects.
In numerous parts of the world, food is prepared using coal, solid fuels and products that have been known for causing indoor air pollution. Why are these substances being used when they endanger your lives? Because the people who use them may have no other alternatives.
A representative at WHO (World Health Organization) stated that the risks of air pollution are great and can cause strokes and heart diseases.
What about electric and gas stoves? Do they also contribute to lower IAQ values? Research claims so. And for the electric stove, power is being consumed from the grid. Most of this is not produced from renewable sources of energy and the environment is still suffering from an impact.
But this was the past. In the future, this might not be because of a new technology called SolSource. As the name implies, SolSource is a grill that operates on solar power; clean, renewable energy. You can use this amazing product to cook, fry, bake, boil, grill and steam. And there is not a lot of maintenance involved with it. SolSource has been designed by a brilliant PhD doctor at Harvard University.
The price of SolSource is $399 for just the grill. If you buy the complete kit which includes additional accessories, you will have to pay $536.
The team behind SolSource is hopeful that it can be used for decreasing the levels of air pollution. But this will only be when awareness about this product increases. We just did our part and briefed you about it. Now it is time for you to do your part, and hopefully, together we will be able to do something about air pollution and minimize the effects it can have on our health.
