2. Air quality in the room

The quality of indoor air in which we live or work, is one of the top five risk factors for health – show the researches of „Environmental Protection Agency”. Among the major air pollutants at home or in the office are mites, spores of mould and mildew, pets, pollen and others. All of them can lead to allergic reactions in humans. Allergic reactions are two types: lighter as runny nose, watery eyes, headache, drowsiness and even snore and more severe, such as asthma. Other harmful volatile organic compounds that are released in the atmospheric from building materials, carpets, cleaning solvents, chemicals and formaldehyde, which is widespread and may cause a itchy eyes, ears and throat. Signs of problems with air quality in the premise:

Няма There is no movement of air in the premises
Visible presence of mould or mildew
Intrusive unpleasant smells
Higher humidity
You feel much more energetic and healthy when you’re out
Broken or polluted air conditioning equipment
Damaged ventilation pipes and chimneys
Tightly constructed or renovated buildings
Health problems that appear after repairs, new furniture, moving into a new home

3. Control of humidity

The relative humidity in the premises must be maintained at levels between 40 and 60% for optimum air quality. High humidity creates conditions for mold growth, mould and mites. The problem with humidity in the air at home can be solved through the use of air conditioning, air cleaner and humidifier.

4. Air conditioning filters for air purification

Plasma / Nano-platinum / Titanium filters as well as those based on the principle of static electricity eliminating up to 90% of the particles in the air. Filters with ultraviolet lamps dual wavelength kill all live microorganisms such as mould, bacteria, viruses, and are therefore highly recommended for bedrooms and more sensitive people.

5. Control of humidity in the air

One of the most important factors for increasing the quality of air in the premises is to control of humidity. High humidity creates a favorable environment for mites, mildew and mould. The purpose of the air conditioning system is not only in heating and cooling – it also serves as a drying and humidification. Let us consider the following example – your air conditioner is too powerful for the room in which it is installed and therefore will not work long enough to remove the necessary humidity. As a result, you feel like a cave – only feel cold and damp. Exactly such an environment is ideal for the development of undesirable microorganisms. The humid air at home we will help the growth of mildew and bacteria. The control of humidity in the air is extremely important not only to human health and particularly respiratory problems, but it also affects his ability to cool. Cooling in humans is carried out as water is released through the sweat glands, which is then evaporated, takes a significant amount of body heat. Rates of this evaporation depend on the humidity of the surrounding air – more humid air, more slowly carried out the process. Accordingly, less water molecules that carry the heat, leave the human body. All this makes us be even more heat, to sweat more and feel uncomfortable. Because of this is recommended the use of air conditioning system with humidity control of air or air cleaner and humidifier, which can remove excess moisture and at the same time purify premise by bacteria, viruses and unpleasant smells, creating a perfect home. Signs that indicate a need for a humidifier and air cleaner:

There is no movement of air in the premises
Sense of density in the room
Allergic reactions
Condensed water on the walls and ceiling
Smell of mould and mildew
The objects of wood rot in the room
Formation of condensation on windows
