It is a sad reality that Indian cities are among the top most populated cities in the world. And the people living in our capital city inhale the most polluted air in the world! A recent study also shows that 76% of the country’s population lives in places with poor air quality.
The reasons for air pollution vary depending on the place. For instance, the main reasons for air pollution in cities may be due to the polluted air emissions from industries or automobiles. As the population density is higher in cities, the number of vehicles is also higher. And many people choose to travel in their private vehicles rather than public transportation as it may be more convenient. This contributes a lot to polluted air. Burning trash, firecrackers, demolition of old buildings, and construction of new buildings are other reasons for cities’ highly polluted air.
Should We Be Worried About Poor Air Quality?
Air pollution can cause serious health problems for the people who inhale it. As air travels from place to place without the constraint of any boundaries, even the people who believe to be living in the safest places are not actually safe.
Polluted air contains invisible fine particles that cause serious health issues. We may not fall sick within a day or two after inhaling the polluted air. So, does that mean that we are safe? No, the small particles in the air can gradually deteriorate our health and give us chronic illnesses.
Polluted air particulate matter gets deep into our lungs when we breathe in. It can result in serious health problems such as respiratory infections, heart diseases, stroke or even lung cancer. These small particles can also irritate our eyes, lungs and nose. Polluted air also causes chronic respiratory infections, especially in children.
Is the Indoor Air Safe?
As the air flies without any barriers, the polluted air enters our homes and workplaces. Most of us spend 90% of our lives indoors, either at home or in the office. The indoor air in our place can also have particle pollutants in it. These pollutants can enter deep into our lungs and can make us sick. The illnessess caused due to inhalation of polluted air is very serious, and it can even risk our lives.
So, it is important to take immediate action to protect our lives and our dear ones’ life from this life-threatening problem. One thing we can do is to spread awareness regarding the harmful effects of polluted air. We should also support our government and respective organisations in their initiative to reduce pollution and make our air safe to breathe. But, making the air pollution-free is a long process, and it may take many years to achieve. Also, we are not sure how successful we can be in achieving this.
A quick and easy way to make our indoor air pollution free is to install a highly-effective air purifier. QNET has collaborated with SHARP to offer us the SHARP-QNET SmartAir purifier that is capable of eliminating all the bacteria and particulate matter present in the air.
SHARP-QNET SmartAir Purifier
SHARP-QNET SmartAir Purifier is a digitally sophisticated air purifier from one of the leading manufacturers of air purification systems, Sharp. This purifier eliminates fine, invisible particle pollutants such as PM2.5. Small particulate matter as small as 2.5 micron is known as PM2.5. These particles will enter deep into our lungs when we breathe in. So, we must prevent such particles from entering our bodies.
SHARP-QNET air purifying solution can eliminate such invisible particles and give us clean and fresh air. The device also eliminates the bad odour from our houses. Removing the bad odour from our house and office is very important. Good fresh air can spread positive energy to the people who stay there and make their lives happier.
Features of SHARP-QNET SmartAir Purifier
This purifier protects us from harmful viruses and bacteria. It uses the patented Plasmacluster ion technology. This purification system is capable of deactivating the novel coronavirus by 90% within 30 seconds.
The sophisticated Plasmacluster technology also reduces airborne viruses. Another highlight of this product is that it works on Wi-Fi, and you can operate this device from anywhere. That means you can make this device work before you return home after the holidays so that you will get fresh air when you reach home. There is also an option to pre-set the room’s air quality.
Another highlight of this product is the sophisticated HAZE mode that allows efficient cleaning. This device also has an array of sensors to control temperature, dust, PM2.5 particulate matter, humidity and odour. There is also an indicator that shows the filter life. It tells you when to change the filter. The device can purify the air up to 450 sq ft.
This device’s washable Pre Filter helps trap up to 10-micron dust and pet hairs. There is also an Active Charcoal deodorising filter to perform deodorising functions. Another highlight is the HEPA filter (High-Efficiency Particulate Air Filter) that traps dust, gases and allergens up to 0.3-micron.
On a note, the SHARP-QNET SmartAir purifier is available exclusively through QNET India.
