DATA from the World Health Organization (WHO) shows that outdoor air pollution has become a major environmental health problem across the world. However, as people spend up to 90 percent of their time indoors, exposure to outdoor air pollutants is more likely to happen inside homes and other indoor environments. While everyone's health can be impacted by poor air quality, those most at risk are pregnant women, children, the elderly and those with chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma.
With the recent uptick of respiratory diseases such as influenza and ever-evolving Covid-19 variants and strains, new approaches to protect people's well-being must become part of the norm in safeguarding public health.
Through a comprehensive study on air contamination sources and the adverse effects these cause to people's respiratory systems and beyond, more facts surrounding the importance of clean indoor air have led to the development of air solutions technologies.
Indoor air purifiers vary greatly in terms of technology, operation, cost, energy usage and maintenance requirements. Among factors to consider are a device's level of filtration technology, noise levels, ease of operation, real-time air quality monitoring and a high airflow rate.
For clean indoor air at the push of a button, the Philips 800 Series Air Purifier quickly and effectively filters viruses, allergens or pollutants in spaces up to 48 cubic meters. It uses multilayer filtration technology present in all Philips Air Purification Solutions. The prefilter catches dust and air while the NanoProtect HEPA filter is designed to capture over 99 percent of particles as small as 0.003 microns, smaller than the smallest known virus.
