3.8 Million
premature deaths annually from indoor air pollution worldwide
The Hidden Danger in Your Home 🏠
We spend 80-90% of our time indoors, yet indoor air can be 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air. From cooking fumes and cleaning products to mold and dust, your home harbors invisible contaminants that affect your health every single day.
🚨 Wake-Up Call: Indoor air pollution contributes to respiratory infections, asthma, heart disease, stroke, and even lung cancer. Children, elderly people, and those with existing health conditions are especially vulnerable.
What's Actually in Your Indoor Air?
💨 Particulate Matter
From cooking, smoking, and outdoor infiltration. Linked to asthma, heart disease, and cognitive issues.
🧪 VOCs
From paints, furniture, and cleaners. Cause headaches, dizziness, and long-term cancer risk.
🦠 Biological Pollutants
Mold, dust mites, and allergens trigger asthma and allergies, especially in children.
🔥 Gas Pollutants
From gas stoves and heaters. Carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides harm your respiratory system.
The Solution: Air Filtration That Actually Works
Air filtration isn't just a luxury—it's a proven health intervention. HEPA filters remove 99.97% of harmful particles, and the results speak for themselves:
50-70% reduction in particulate matter in homes
40-60% fewer bacteria and viruses in schools
Lower blood pressure and reduced inflammation in residents
Fewer medical visits for asthmatic children
Better cognitive performance in offices (10-20% improvement)

Portable HEPA Purifiers: Perfect for bedrooms and small spaces. Affordable and easy to set up. Reduces pollutants by 30-70%.
Central HVAC Systems (MERV 13+): Best for whole-home protection. Professional installation required but covers every room.
Hybrid Systems: Combine filtration with ventilation for maximum effectiveness in high-pollution urban areas.
