Camfil air filtration experts announce the publication of a new handbook that addresses questions about the impact of poor indoor air quality on human health.

U.S. – A new handbook has been published by the clean air experts of Camfil, addressing questions many have about the impact poor indoor air quality has on human health. Developed as a guide for athletes, the IAQ handbook camfil covers a spectrum of issues related to challenges that stem from indoor air pollution and offers solutions for addressing critical concerns.

The Numerous Health Challenges Presented by Poor Quality Indoor Air

In two recent article publications titled “How Poor Air Quality Can Impact the Human Body: Air Improvement Tools That Help” and “The Surprising Impact of Air Pollution on Exercise,” Camfil suggests that the impact air pollution has on human health is more extensive than many realize. In the latter article, the company says that many athletes and others aren’t aware of the health risks posed to them when they exercise in highly polluted environments. The air filtration specialists say, “According to a past review published by the University of Queensland, there is strong evidence to support the assertion that air pollution has negative effects on cardiovascular health during exercise. The impact is particularly strong for those who work out outdoors in urban regions where the concentration of air contaminants is relatively high.”

In the publication on poor air quality and the human body, Camfil further notes the damaging effects can be short-term or extend for years stating, “The World Health Organization (WHO) has cited among the various short-term and long-term health effects linked to poor air quality inflamed airways, respiratory tract damage, and cardiovascular disease.”

Clean Air Solutions for Maintaining Healthier Indoor Environments

As noted by Camfil clean air filtration experts, outside pollution can have a major impact on indoor environments. For example, in a case study discussed in the IAQ report, apartments located near a main road in Stockholm faced challenges due to a high concentration of harmful airborne particles and gases from traffic in the area seeping into dwellings. The study illustrates how problems with this type of indoor air pollution can be significantly improved with the use of air purifiers and air filtration products that facilitate the circulation of contaminant free air. Considering the results of the Stockholm air study, Camfil says in the IAQ report, “This comprehensive long-term study clearly demonstrated that the right filter solution combined with a mobile air purifier can improve the quality of indoor air considerably by reducing the quantity of harmful particles and gases by up to 80%.”

Included in the IAQ guide are recommendations for products that work to remove particles from indoor air and complement existing ventilation systems. The company suggests that those seeking cleaner indoor air with the use of an air purifier utilize those that have the capacity to clean a designated area’s room volume at least once every hour.

New Report Shows Health Impact of Air Pollution More Serious Than Once Stated

Clean Air Solution by Camfil USA. Leader in Air Filters for Commercial and Industrial applications.

Camfil air filtration specialists release new report on study that assesses the lifetime impact of air pollution on human health.

U.S. – A new report has revealed that the health impact of air pollution is far more serious than previously thought. According to information released by the Royal College of Physicians in the U.K., air pollution not only causes up to 40,000 premature deaths annually in the country, but can also cause health damage that can be lifelong. The research examined the effects of air pollution from a baby’s time period in the womb into old age. According to the RCP report, “The London smog of 1952 also referred to as the “Big Smoke” killed 12,000 people. Today’s older generations who were brought up in the 1940s-1950s were exposed to soot and sulphur dioxide from coal burning, in the 1960s-1980s carbon monoxide and emissions from leaded petrol were the pollutants of concern. Today’s children inhale nitrogen dioxide and sub-micron particles, so called PM1 from diesel-fueled vehicles.”

Global air filtration specialist Camfil says that these kinds of statistics have been replicated in impact studies on various countries across the globe. Another recent study announced during the 2016 annual meeting for the American Association for the Advancement of Science shows that worldwide, air pollution is stated to cause approximately 5.5 million deaths.

In two recent blogs, titled “Are You Creating More Indoor Air Pollution With Harmful Air Fresheners?” and “Air Pollution Related Health Damage Can Last Decades, Study Reveals” Camfil suggests that raising awareness about the dangerous long-term effects of air pollution is critical for the development of solutions that can be effective in eradicating this widespread problem. A first helpful step according to Camfil, is combating challenges linked to indoor air pollution, by using current technology to improve indoor air quality.

Limiting Pollutant Exposure by Improving the Quality of Indoor Air

According to Camfil, “Although it is difficult for us to limit our exposure to outdoor pollution, we can do a lot to improve indoor air. Since we spend most of our time inside buildings, indoor air quality is crucial to our health. Pollution found inside a building is a cocktail of outdoor air pollutants and indoor pollutants such as, tobacco smoke, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and biological pollutants.”

Camfil is a global leader in providing solutions for improving air quality within various building types including commercial and residential structures. The company says that, “Modern buildings are relatively airtight and usually provided with mechanical ventilation to bring in external air and circulate air inside the building. Filtration can be applied in the fresh-air and recirculation air systems to provide effective control of particles and gaseous contaminants such as nitrogen dioxide.”

Camfil has also said of the use of energy efficient air filters or air purifying systems like those manufactured by the company, “Using low energy air filters it is possible to provide high quality indoor air and also help users meet government requirements for energy efficiency and greener buildings. The ventilation system can be supplemented with stand-alone air purifier such as Camfil’s City M or City S.”

Persons or organizations seeking more information about air pollution research and ways to improve indoor air quality can visit Camfil’s website http://bit.ly/1KRUUjP, or contact the company directly to have any questions about available products and services addressed. Camfil focuses on the four main industry segments of comfort air, safety protection, clean air processes, and power systems with the products and services it provides.
