The season that has just begun brings with it many annoyances, especially for allergy sufferers. But even those who do not suffer from these diseases, in good weather, suffer more damage from pollution. The mucous membranes of the nose, the organism’s first alarm bell, signal this immediately. They swell, partially occluding it. But it is not only in spring that we have to worry about respiratory problems. Few speak of the massive presence of pollutants present in the home environment. Many times higher than external ones. They consist of COV, volatile organic compounds, CO2, formaldehydes, molds, kitchen fumes, disinfectants and many more. The concentration of these substances is high due to the poor ventilation of the premises. But we are not talking exclusively about domestic environments, even in the office the danger given by the concentration of pollutants is high.
Sick building syndrome
Following the energy crisis of 1973, construction began to use synthetic substances, never used before, to “seal” the heated indoor environments in which humans stayed. At the origin of many pathologies there is precisely the dangerous inhalation of all these pollutants. To which are added those used for the manufacture of industrial furniture, adhesives and paints, and the presence of many people in the same room for many hours. Breathing difficulties, headaches and dry throat are the most common effects of such exposure.
This way you will be able to breathe better at home and in the office despite the annoying problems of allergies
It is essential to be able to filter the air you breathe. There are several devices on the market to do this. Of the latest generation and the result of an all-Italian start-up, it is the solution that takes its cue from nature. It is well known that through the root system, plants absorb almost all of the pollutants produced by man. The researchers who gave rise to the project therefore thought of using these capabilities to create a completely natural air filtration system, with a very low environmental impact.
The device consists of a vessel designed for the hydroponic cultivation some plants. Therefore it has a tank for collecting water, a float, a bag of expanded clay. The walls of the vessel have sensors inside which detect the pollutants present in the room, temperature and humidity one by one. They are made from recycled materials. All the data collected are managed by a sophisticated App, from which different operating modes can be set. If you are not green thumbs, the same App will suggest the choice of the right plant to place in the pot. It will remain to connect it to the current and the rest will do it, consuming very little. This way you will be able to breathe better at home and in the office despite the annoying problems of allergies.
