The Air we Breathe.

For centuries there were no significant changes in the content of the atmosphere. The only source of air pollution were volcanic eruptions. They were not frequent and thus could hardly produce any harmful effect on the atmosphere as a whole. Such was the content of the air at that time:

Substance Concentration in dry air
Nitrogen (N2) 78.084%
Oxygen (O2) 20.9476%
Argon (Ar) 0.934%
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) 0.034%
Other gases 0.0004%

Other gases are: neon, krypton, methane, helium, xenon, NOx, hydrogen, ammonia, SOx, hydrogen sulphide, hydrocarbon. These very compounds are among the most noxious to a human body.

The scientific and technical progress of the last few decades has certainly made our life more convenient. On the other hand it has brought on a bunch of new barriers mankind has never encountered. Among them are allergic diseases. Modern medicine believes allergies are connected with an inadequate reaction of an organism to unknown substances, many of which have only recently appeared:

  Volatile chemical compounds
  Dust and Aerosols
  Microorganisms

 

Volatile chemical compounds.

The air our ancestors breathed consisted of chemically inert nitrogen, vital oxygen, and small innocuous concentrations of argon and carbon dioxide. Apart from these substances the air we breathe today also contains:

Main Air contaminants MPC (mg/m3) Sources of Air Pollution
Carbon Monoxide (CO) 1,0 Cars, Smokers
(NOx) 0.04 Cars, gas stove
(SOx) 0.05 Heat station
Phenol 0.03 Furniture, heat insulation
Formaldehyde 0.003 Furniture, heat insulation
Styrene 0.002 Heat insulation
Benzopyrene 0.000001 Cars
Ozone 0.03 Office equipment, photochemical reactions
Lead 0.03 Diesel

According to “Moskompriroda” in living areas located close to highways actual concentrations of carbon dioxide and NOx are 10-15 times as higher as their corresponding MPCs. Same concentrations of these substances may easily be found in homes as well. And that’s just the beginning.

Even in homes we are surrounded by potential sources of air pollution. Modern furniture is often made of plywood, particleboard and fiberboard. The connecting element of these materials is a formaldehyde resin. This polymer compound certainly has many advantages: it is convenient, cheap in production, etc. However, it possesses one great disadvantage: gradually it decomposes into phenol and formaldehyde, which are immensely noxious to a human body. MPCs of these substances are as follows: 0.03 mg/m3 and 0.003 mg/m3. Another harmful substance is carbamide. It is often used in construction of houses at the winter period. At first glance innocuous this substance generates ammonia. As a result a distinctive odor of a public toilet occurs. AIRLIFE purification systems will help you solve whatever problem connected with the volatile chemical compounds you may possibly have.

Dust and aerosols

Dust can be found in various forms. There are dust particles that are ten microns in size and larger, such as pollen or sand grains; particles from 0.2 to 5 microns in size – these are floating in the air several days till precipitation; and aerosols – 0.1 microns in size and smaller – these are tiny particles suspended in the air.

Dust is capable of adsorbing substances and distributing them for long distances. House dust is known as the most bly allergenic materials found indoors.

Dust content may vary anywhere from pure quartz to noxious volatile organic compounds. Protect your family health by using AIRLIFE purification systems.

Microorganisms

Pets, houseplants and humans are another source of air pollution. They are the most typical distributors of viruses, bacteria and mold. These microorganisms can live and reproduce in living premises only. Click here to read about dust mites.

Germany has recently encountered a serious problem. Warming up of houses by means of installation of special double-glazed windows has brought on an unexpected mass spread of mold, resulting in immediate distribution of different kinds of infections. Allergies have become an acute problem, the solution to which can only be found in modernization of the ventilation systems of the houses. The same situation may soon happen in Russia as well. However, the remedy is readily available. AIRLIFE systems will leave no chance to harmful microorganisms to survive.

The air we breathe is often heavily contaminated. What is the solution? AIRLIFE systems.

Produced to superior standards of reliability, protection and efficiency AIRLIFE purification systems are your most intellectual choice.
