Air pollution in big cities

Pollutants in the air pose a serious health risk! Particularly in large cities, particulatesand nitrogen oxides cause poor air quality. The triggers here are the high volume of traffic on the roads or on the water, pollutants that smoke from chimneys and exhaust fumes that industry and factories pump into the air. Wind and precipitation transport these pollutants many kilometres, so you don't even have to live close to the urban source of the pollution to be affected by the health consequences.

Buy air-Q and keep an eye on air quality

Air pollution brings significant health risks:

Cardiovascular diseases & lung problems

Small particulate matter particles such as PM10 and PM2_.5 easily enter the nasal cavity and even penetrate into the bronchi, alveoli and bloodstream. Here, the particles reduce the function of the organs and cause inflammation. Worldwide, pollutants are responsible for millions of premature deaths from lung and cardiovascular diseases.

Decreased brain power

particulatesdamages your ability to think and measurably lowers cognitive performance. According to studies, every microgram particulatesmore in the air slows down brain performance by two percent. Moreover, the ultra-fine particles are suspected of irreparably damaging the brain and promoting dementia.

Amplification of allergies

particulatesattaches itself to pollen and can thus increase its allergenic effect. Nitrogen oxides also worsen the symptoms of allergies. Asthmatics and hay fever patients in particular suffer from this. Studies show that nitrogen dioxide can trigger allergies in the first place. These then remain for a lifetime.
