INDOOR AIR QUALITY YOUR FAMILY DESERVES

we spend 90% of our time indoors

We breathe in an average of 14,400 litres of air daily

Indoor air is 5 to 8 times more polluted than outdoor air

More than 50% of premature deaths among children under 5 years old are attributed to pneumonia caused by particulate matter inhaled from household air.

In South Asia, indoor air pollution was ranked as the third most Dangerous health-related killer, just below blood pressure and tobacco smoke.

The Western Pacific and Southeast Asia Reportedly saw 2.8 million and 2.3 million deaths respectively as a result of polluted air in 2012.

AIR POLLUTION - NOT JUST OUTDOORS

In 2012, an estimated 4.3 million deaths worldwidewere linked to indoor air pollution.

Combating Poor Indoor Air QualityPrevent growth of mould when humidity is high by making sure bathrooms, kitchens and basements have good air circulation and are cleaned often.

List of technologies available to combat poor indoor air quality:

1. Filters 2. Electrostatic Precipitation 3. Ultraviolet C Irradiation

Swiss design and technologyAntimicrobial Prefilter – traps larger air particulates as well as destroys general bacteria as the first filtration stageHigh Particle Potential (HPP) Filter – removes smaller (0.3 micron size) particulates, destroying even more bacteria and removing harmful gases in the air.Activated Carbon Filter – removes unpleasant odours that are sucked into the filtration systemAmezcua Air Filter – energises the clean air from the Air Pure 2, harmonising the room environment to create a calming effect.
