Knowing the chemical: Formaldehyde



We have this belief that indoor air is less contaminated than outdoor air. But the fact is that indoor air is more polluted than outdoor air. There are various chemicals present in indoor air which makes it unhealthy and impure. Try using air cleaners for making indoor air pure.

Formaldehyde is a type of chemical. This chemical is ubiquitous in nature so it is present everywhere in your environment. It is found in items like particle board, pressed wood products, paper products, grocery bags, waxed paper, facial tissues, paper towels, stiffeners, permanent-press clothes, carpet backings, wrinkle resisters, water repellents, adhesive binders in floor coverings and fire retardants. It is also found in most of the cleaning materials we use in our houses. Heating and cooking fuels like natural gas and kerosene contain Formaldehyde. Cigarette smoke is not an exception. This chemical causes health problems like:

· Dampness of eyes, nose and throat membrane

· Skin allergies

· Irritation of eyes

· Headache

Above listed are the most common complaints found due to the contact with Formaldehyde. The most grievous diseases reported due to long term contact with this chemical are Asthma and throat cancer. You need to have pollutant free environment to keep yourself away from diseases. Our asthma air purifier and allergy air purifier will help in dealing with these health hazards.

Candles can be harmful too


Candles are used frequently in our houses. Reasons for using them may differ, it could be due to power cut or a candle lit dinner. Did you ever know that burning candles contribute towards polluting the air? It sounds strange but the fact is that even candles produce harmful air pollutants. Thankfully, air purifiers keep our environment healthy.

A burning candle does produce health hazards. The severity of these hazards will depend upon the chemicals used while making candles. Scientific testing has proved that candles can discharge pollutants such as acetone, benzene, lead, soot and particulate matter. These chemicals are used for making the internal structure and for the wax composition of a candle. The colour and scent added in the candle also cause the pollution of the air. To sustain the flame and draw the wax towards the heat source, a combustible string of fiber is used. Sometimes structures of candles are made using lead-core metal so that the candle would not collapse when the wax melts. This lead–core mixes with the air when burnt making the air polluted. The quality of wax used for making candles also plays a pivotal role in making the air unhealthy. Using air cleaners will keep your indoor air clean and healthy.

HEPA air purifiers by Oxynet Solutions will fight with the problem of the air pollution. We are one of the best air purifier companies in Dubai. Our indoor air filters are made using the most advanced technology available. The filters used in our machines can remove 99.97% of all airborne particulate matter.

Does your home require an air purifier?


You might have read or heard a lot about air purifiers and how they are good for people especially in UAE. This may be because of the increasing number of people choosing to use one. Even if you knew the benefits of an indoor air purifier, there are chances that you might still not want to bring one home.

Noted below are some of the good reasons to get one for you home and family.


1. Cleaning up the house is fine. But what will you do about the smoke and other toxins floating about in the air? Only a chemical control air purifier will be able to get rid of such dangerous pollutants that linger in the air for a long time.


2. Allergy air purifiers can eliminate even potentially dangerous pollutants like molds and animal dander. Some people can easily go through their day breathing these impurities. But pollutants like these could severely affect some others. The conclusion is that even if you think you can pass each day without one, it is not so… No one has benefited from breathing impure air.

This air purifier works well for those with allergies and asthmas, making your home a healthier place to live in.


3. More individuals are concerned with their health now-a-days. This can only mean that you will be able to find more retailers in your area selling air purifiers. There is also the other option of buying an air purifier online.
