Polluted Air Can cause even Heart Attacks


Air pollution is caused by humans introducing chemicals and other materials into the air. These pollutants are dangerous to both the environment and our own health. Air pollution has a wide range of effects, from respiratory disease to climate change.

According to a recent study, the most ignored factor - Polluted Air can be a major culprit for heart attacks. The World Health Organization (WHO) describes air pollution as "a major environmental risk to health" and estimates that it causes around 2 million premature deaths worldwide every year. We spend all our lives earning wealth, ignoring our health and ultimately end up spending the wealth on our Health.

Measurements show that the air in offices, schools, hospitals, clubs and restaurants, etc., is often more polluted than the air outside. In the indoor air float millions of invisible harmful particles, including dust and micro-organisms such as bacteria, viruses and fungi, pollen, hairs, aerosols and tobacco smoke. When you realize that on an average, one spends 90% of the time indoors, it’s quite disturbing really!

Prevention/Solution:

The air cleaners or air purifiers remove all kinds of pollution from the air and bring an end to those awkward smoking situations. The air cleaners make an important contribution to ensuring a healthy working environment, which everyone feels better and more energetic.
