Indoor Pollution is More Serious
Than Outdoor Pollution

The concentration of pollutants in indoor air is much higher than outdoor air. It is estimated that 2.2 million people die from indoor air pollution each year (in comparison, outdoor air pollution causes 500,000 deaths). Indoor air pollution is currently one of the most serious environmental problems and an important source of many diseases. There are many sources of indoor air pollution, including:

 

Formaldehyde pollution caused by decoration


Indoor Pollution is More Serious Than Outdoor PollutionAlmost everything you see indoors will release TVOC, that is, volatile organic compounds, such as perfumes, paints, plastics, household cleaners, adhesives, furniture, carpets, paper...

TVOC's toxicity, irritation, carcinogenicity and special odor will affect the skin and mucous membranes and cause acute damage to the human body.





Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and dust mites propagating in the air


Bacterial virusIndoor Pollution is More Serious Than Outdoor Pollution

Under normal circumstances, bacteria and viruses in the room  can cling to the dust in the air to spread. Through activities such as talking, coughing, and sne-ezing, people can spray pathogenic microorganisms in the mouth, throat, and lungs into the air through droplets to spread to others. For example, influenza is usually spread from person to person through air and droplets.


Dust mites

Dust mites are a strong allergen to the human body and can induce various allergic diseases, such as allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, bronchitis and allergic dermatitis.

Dust mites in the living room are mainly born in the bedroom, and are mostly found in carpets, sofas, bedding, pillows and clothes that are not washed frequently. In addition, the air conditioner is also a good place for dust mite breeding.


Cooking fumes and secondhand smoke

Small-sized negative ions can actively capture fine particles, make them coagulate and precipitate, and effectively remove fine dust of 2.5 microns or less in air (PM2.5) and below, thereby reducing the harm of PM2.5 to human health. 

   




Allergens such as plant pollen and pet hair

Pollen, pet dander and hair, saliva, urine and other pollution of the air will also bring health hazards, mainly can cause allergies.


Therefore, in the face of such serious indoor air pollution, we must purify indoor air and create a healthy breathing environment. AVICHE's Y4A Super Air Purifier can meet your needs.
