INFORMATION ON INDOOR POLLUTANTS
VOC (Volatile Organic Compound): VOCs come from motor vehicle exhausts, gasoline
vapour, pollutants such as formaldehyde, ammonia and many other common and chemical
solvents such as paints and glues, or can be a by-product of mould growth. VOCs cause
irritation to the eyes and or nose as well as causing headaches, nausea and even potential
damage to the central nervous system. Pressed wood furniture, newly decorated rooms,
paint and cleaning solvents are common sources of VOCs.
Mould / Fungus: These can affect our respiratory system and cause allergic reactions, like a
runny nose, eye and throat irritation, headaches, fatigue and aggravation of asthma.
Other indoor pollutants include bacteria, viruses, dust mites and pollen.
Emissions from electronic office equipment: Many studies, including those from EPA and
the University of California Berkley, have reported that emissions from office equipment
such as computers and printers, include VOCs, ultra-fine particles and ozone. These
emissions have been proven to have a negative effect on the health of many people which
can be reduced by using an air purifier.
Using HEPA filters and Activated Carbon filters: An effective HEPA filter is absolutely
necessary to remove particles, even at a microscopic level; it ensures that the particles are
not spread.
The antibacterial activated carbon on the EAP120HC-WIFI is a natural material
biosynthesized from walnut shell, the absorption area of activated carbon is very large at up
to 300,000 square meters. The activated carbon filter will absorb unpleasant odours and
reduce the VOC content in the air.
The Plasma Ioniser will sterilise the air and reduce bacterial growth.
