How the Poisons in the Air Affect You.

Lead

A Toxic metal that’s present in the air as fine particles. Can affect the central nervous system, cause rental damage and hypertension. Children are three times more at risk than adult.

Particles of dust and carbon, coated with toxic gases, all emanating from factory emissions and vehicle exhaust. They coat the lungs. Cause respiratory infections, persistent cough and throat irritation. Aggravate asthma.

Colourless and odourless, it comes from petrol vehicles, mostly two and three wheelers. Reduces the ability of blood to carry oxygen. Exacerbates heart disorders.

Formed during fuel combustion in motor vehicles and power stations. Convert to nitrogen dioxide, which leads to bronchial infections, cold headaches and eye irritation. A recent spurt in fibrosis cases in Mumbai has been traced to these pollutants.

Cannot be seen. It’s a part of unleaded petrol and is emitted from catalytic converters. A known carcinogen, it has been linked to lung cancer and leukaemia and is said to damage the central nervous system. No safe limit: there just shouldn’t be any benzene around.

Colourless gas that is a part of diesel exhaust and factory emissions. Affects upper respiratory tract. Causes bronchial problems, nose blockage and a hacking cough.

Sulphur Dioxide

Unburnt fuel from diesel engines. Causes drowsiness, eye irritation, cough and are suspected to be cancer causing. There is no such thing as a safety level for PAHS.

Air Quality Index (PM 2.5) and it's Implications

http://aqicn.org/city/delhi/r.k.-puram/m/

Delhi might be paying the steepest price for

its air pollution with life expectancy

dropping by 6.4 years while Uttar Pradesh

and Maharashtra are likely to account for

the highest number of premature deaths in

India, a study by the Indian Institute of

Tropical Meteorology has revealed.

Conduc ted by I I TM s c i en t i s t s i n

collaboration with the National Centre for

Atmospheric Research (NCAR), Colorado,

the study is likely to further ignite concern

over the need to improve air quality in the

capital and urgently map its sources of

pollution and their contribution to making

it an unhealthy city.

The study is based on data compiled in the

2011 census to arrive at the figures of

“premature mortality“ due to exposure to

particulate matter across the country . Life

expectancy in Maharashtra dropped by 3.3

years due to exposure to pollution,

according to a study . The report, titled

`Premature Mortalities due to PM2.5 (finer

particulate matter) and Ozone Exposure in

India', states that Maharashtra recorded

10% of the country's deaths due to

pollution with UP topping at around 15%.

Delhi's pollution takes 6 yrs

from your life, says study

Most Premature

Deaths Due To

PM2.5 In UP

IITM scientist Sachin Ghude, who was

involved in the study , said, “Although these

results are in line with other global

estimates, such as the World Health

Organization (WHO) and the Global Burden

of Diseases (GBD), there's no physical way

to tell who has actually been killed by air

pollution.“

Ghude added, “The methods used in this

study rely on statistical algorithms to

construct estimates about a population's

response to pollution exposure using

previous concrete observations on pollution

and public health.

“The problem is that most of these

observational studies have taken place in

regions with comparatively low pollution

levels, such as Europe or the US, and we

don't have any epidemiological studies in

India that look at the long-term effects of

air pollution on mortality,“ Ghude added.

West Bengal (9%) and Bihar (8%) follow

Maharashtra. Other states with high

premature mortalities due to PM2.5 are

Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat,

Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa and

Rajasthan, which collectively account for

32% of the countrywide premature

mortalities.

The research also calculates mortalities due

to exposure to harmful ozone (O3)

pollution, where Maharashtra stands

fourth with 7% of the country's deaths

after UP (18%), Bihar (11%) and West

Bengal (9.5%). The report cites PM2.5,

which experts say is mostly emitted by

vehicles, as the cause for chronic

pulmonary diseases.

Do you know........?

• You breathe more than 23,000 times in a day.

• The air you breathe is so harmful that you may as well be smoking between 10 and 20 cigarettes every day.

• You inhale 70,000 pollutants with every breath.

• In most Indian cities the pollution level is upto six times higher than the safe limits.

• Even cigarette smoke exposure to a pregnant women can result in abnormal baby.

• Health cost of air pollution in India assessed at 3 per cent of its GDP

• The combined cost of outdoor and indoor air pollution is the highest annual burden on India's economy.

• Particulate pollution causes 48,000 new cases of chronic bronchitis reported each year & 370,000 annual hospitalizations

• Outdoor and indoor air pollution highly exposes the young and productive urban population to particulate matter pollution. This leads to higher rates of deaths due to cardiopulmonary and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases.(http://www.downtoearth.org.in/news/health-cost-of-air-pollution-in-india-assessed-at-3-per-cent-of-its-gdp-41699)


Do you know........?

• Delhi has more than 9 million Vehicles, with over 1400 cars added every year. (https://delhitrafficpolice.nic.in/about-us/statistics/)

• Air pollution is the fifth leading cause of death in India, with 620,000 premature deaths. This is up from 100,000 in 2000 – a six-fold increase. (http://www.downtoearth.org.in/news/air-pollution-killing-620000-indians-every-year-global-burden-of-disease-report--40316)

• Recent reports on air pollution say that by 2050, 6 million people will die per year due to air pollution

• Indoor air pollution is 2-5 times worse than the air outdoors. (http://indiatoday.intoday.in/education/story/delhi-pollution/1/476767.html)

• There has been a 300 per cent jump in the number of respiratory related ailments in many hospitals due to massive deterioration in air quality & pollution levels.(http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Delhi/doctors-colour-code-asthma-zones-in-delhi/article7189462.ece)

• India has the dubious honour of having 13 of the world's 20 most polluted cities.

• Bad air is having long-term effects on children in the Indian capital, 4.4 million already have irreversible lung damage.(http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/nov/03/delhis-air-pollution-causing-health-crisis-so-what-can-be-done)


• An increasing number of people suffer because of

pollution in the air and therefore are more susceptible

to colds and allergies.

• A recent study revealed a secret that many people do

not know, the air inside offices and homes is more

dirty than the air outside, Indoor air pollution is

made up of pollen, dust, spores, cigarette smoke,

cooking smoke, skin flakes, animal dander, dirt, carpet

fibres and even bacteria and viruses. And these

pollutants circulates throughout your home or offices,

they are trapped indoor specially in air-conditioned

areas, so not only is outdoor air kept out, but indoor

air is sealed in... with you. In some offices it may give

rise to lethargy and general malaise, commonly

referred to as “sick building syndrome”.

• Some of the particles are easily visible, like those you

see in a ray of sunlight through the window. But for

every particle you see, there are 99 particles small to

see.

Ozone.

Is Ozone bad or good to human health? Both

actually; in the upper atmosphere the large

concentration of ozone, referred to as the

ozone layer, filters the sun’s radiation,

preventing this radiation from reaching the

surface of the earth and thus helping to make

life on earth possible. This is the positives side

of ozone.

At the surface of the earth, where we humans

live, ozone is found in low concentrations in

the natural atmosphere. It is a very toxic gas

and can become harmful as the concentration

level increases. Ozone can be produced by

man-made electrical discharge such as arc

welding, electronic air cleaner and

photocopiers


What is an ionizer?

Ionizer is the word used for those types of electrical appliances that are designed to reduce the concentration of airborne particulate in an indoor environment through ionization alone, which is the process by which negative ions are generated and are propelled into the air. In turn the charge is attracted to airborne particulate which become heavy and fall to the ground or cling to the nearest grounded surface.

By recreating indoors an approximation of nature’s outdoors natural ion balance, the air once ionized, will feel “fresher”.

Caution : Because ionizers do not have a fan to circulate clean air into a room or car (nor to direct dirty air into a filter) nor have a filter to trap particulate in the alternative to air purifiers (which have both fans and filters designed to trap pollutants and re-cycle clean air). In any case, ionizers have a very limited air cleaning ability.

Ionizer (or ionization) is also used to describe a feature included in (other) filter type air purifiers in order to

a) enhance the air cleaning process by reducing airborne particulate prior to them entering the filter (as above)b) re-stimulate the stale air by recreating nature’s natural balance of negative ions (as above)c) form an integral part of the filter mechanism by adding a charge to the particulate which will directly cause them to be attracted to the filter.


What is an air purifier?

An Air Purifier is an electrical appliance which

is designed to reduce the concentration of dust

particles, smoke, pollen, bacteria and other

airborne particulate in an indoor environment.

Typically an air purifier consists of a fan which

circulates the air through a filter in order that

the airborne particulate become entrapped in

the filter.


Why consider buying an air purifier?

To reduce indoor air pollution

Although tobacco smoke is probably the most visible form of indoor air pollution, unfortunately it is not the only form.

Modern, air-tight and energy-efficient homes and office buildings, without sufficient air changes, are plagued with air pollution that has been recognised by the US Environmental Protection Agency as one of the biggest risks to human health today. With the average person spending 90% of his time indoors, this is of concern to all of us.

Indoor pollutants are produced and released by many artificial sources such as: copiers and printers releasing ozone and ink particles, furniture exuding formaldehyde gas, air-conditioners etc. Natural air pollutants such as dust mites (breeding in carpets and mattresses), micro-organism, animal hair, dander, pollen and dust particles also reduce the quality of the indoor air.

Most of these indoor air pollutants are odourless and invisible to the human eye, yet they are present at different concentration levels indoors. In high concentration levels they are known to cause the “Sick Building Syndrome”

The use of an effective air purifier can transform stale and dry air into invigorating, fresh air without producing harmful ozone. All Glen units provide high air flow and efficient filtering, two basic elements are required for effective air purification.

In-house studies in the States have shown that consumers have indicated that their was reason for purchasing an air purifier

LIGHTINDICATOR

Auto Mode

The built-in air quality sensor measures the ambient air quality and automatically selects the most appropriate speed setting to guarantee the best possible air quality in your room.

When the air is clean, the appliance will run on slowest speed. When the air quality deteriorates, the appliance starts running at a higher fan speed and the noise level will go up.

Night Mode

The appliance works in harmony with its surroundings. In auto mode, the appliance automatically switches to night mode when the room in which it is operating becomes dark. The lights of the appliance go out, the fan speed and noise level are reduced and the energy consumption is minimized. If the room becomes bright again for 5 minutes or longer the appliance returns to normal operation.

Fan Speed

If not using the auto mode you can select from 3 speed levels. Select boost power if you need an extra strong airflow when the air in the room is very dirty.
