CAUSES OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION

The US Environmental Protection Agency has defined 3 key elements to controlling and improving Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
 

Source Control
Ventilation
Air Cleaning

In addition, there are several key contaminants typically found in indoor spaces in the GCC Region

Particulate Matter causes indoor air pollution

Mould spores cause indoor air pollution

Micro Organisms - Bacteria, Fungus, Pathogens

Bioeffluents-People. These cause indoor air pollution

Bi-Polar Ionization  VOCs cause indoor air pollution

Volatile Organic Compounds

Deactivate Air Pollutants With AtmosAir's Commercial Air Purifier

How AtmosAir deactivates viruses

 

Reduced dust and particulate matter in the GCC

Bi-polar ions that bond with contaminants cause them to agglomerate they gain size and mass and drop to the floor, or return to the air filter, making them easily cleaned from the air we breathe.

Reduced odors

Bi-polar ions break down the hydrocarbon chains that produce odors at their source. 

Reduced Mold in the GCC

Hydroxyl radical takes hydrogen molecule from cell wall of airborne fungi particle.

 

Reduced VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and Odors

Bi-polar ions break down hydrocarbon chains to reduce VOC and odors at their source.

 

Reduced bacteria and viruses

Air purification using Bi-polar ions reduce viruses by  removing hydrogen from the cell wall thereby killing them.

 

Improved energy conservation in the GCC

AtmosAir air purification systems make managing IAQ less expensive. This is because building owners spend less on heating and cooling ventilated air and recycle conditioned, purified air instead.
