Pollutants

What Are Pollutants?
Pollutants are harmful substances in the air that affect indoor air quality and health. They come from household products, outdoor air, and biological sources like pets or mold. Common pollutants include:

  • Chemicals in paints, cleaning products, and furniture that cause headaches, dizziness, and long-term health risks.
  • A VOC in furniture and building materials that irritates the eyes and can cause respiratory issues and cancer.
  • Fine particles from emissions, cooking, and tobacco smoke that worsen asthma and heart disease.
  • Particles that trigger allergies, sneezing, and asthma.
  • Spores released by mold that can cause allergic reactions and respiratory issues, especially in poorly ventilated spaces.
  • Smoke containing nicotine and tar that damages the respiratory system and increases the risk of lung disease.

Impact on Health:
Long-term exposure can lead to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, while short-term exposure causes headaches, eye irritation, and breathing problems. Poor indoor air quality worsens this.

How Luno AirCare Helps:
Luno AirCare’s HEPA 14 filter captures fine particles, and the activated carbon filter neutralizes chemicals and odors, improving air quality and reducing pollutant exposure.
