Indian-American 8th Grader Finds Incense Is Top Source of Indoor Air Pollution
Archishman Dey, an eighth-grade student from Ohio, conducted a science investigation into how common household activities contribute to indoor PM2.5 pollution. He tested five sources — an air fryer, candle, humidifier, natural gas, and incense — measuring the fine particulate matter each produced. Incense was found to generate the highest average PM2.5 levels, with the air fryer coming in second. The project was motivated by Archishman's concern for his grandparents, who suffer from asthma. He hopes his findings will prompt families to take steps toward improving the air quality inside their homes.
