Rising hazards of indoor air pollution

It is known that indoor air quality is worse than outdoor air quality. More time you spend indoor you are more prone to air borne diseases. Elderly people, children and women in your house spend more time indoors. Hence their chances to be affected with air borne diseases are doubled. For your health benefits use indoor air purifiers.

A report by WHO says that two-third deaths of children in African and South East Asian regions are due to indoor air pollution. Around the world in most of the societies women handle the house hold wok. This work involves mainly cooking and cleaning. Women spend nearly three to seven hours per day near the stove. This results in 59% of deaths in women due to indoor air pollution. Young children are close to their mothers even while their mothers are working. So the infants spend most of the time breathing indoor smoke. As a result 56% of kids under the age of five die due to the diseases caused by air pollution. Elderly people in the house are prone to diseases as they have low resistance power. On the other hand they spend more time indoors so harmful pollutants will affect their health faster. To prevent your family members from serious diseases of air pollution use air purifier for home.

We at Oxynet Solutions have various air purifiers to keep your home safe from air pollutants. Our air cleaners are 100% safe and medically approved. We value your good health as much as you do. We strongly believe that “Cleanliness is next to Godliness.”

Beware of harmful solvents


Our environment is not as clean and healthy as we assume it to be. There are so many air pollutants which enter our body and removing all of them is a difficult task. Air cleaners and air purifiers would help us in solving the issue of polluted air. Some solvents present in our environment are harmful to our health, one of them is Benzene.

Benzene is a very common solvent and is used in manufacturing many items like plastic, oils, inks, gasoline and rubber. It is also used in making detergents, explosives, pharmaceuticals and dyes. We inhale the harmful pollutants present in these items. Use of these items containing Benzene is a cause of many diseases, like burning, inflammation, drying and irritation of skin, weakness, dizziness, euphoria, nausea, eating disorder, headache as well as tremors. It irks the eye and blurs the vision. It is also one of the causes of some dangerous diseases like:

· Respiratory problems

· Liver, heart and kidney damage

· Paralysis

· Unconsciousness

· Anemia

· Bone marrow diseases

Indoor air purifiers will keep your surrounding clean and will help in preventing these diseases.

Air fresheners pollute the air too

Air fresheners are used by most of us to get rid of bad odors indoors. There are many who assume that air fresheners purify the air. Quite a few people know that air fresheners can pollute the air too. It is really weird to know that one which makes the air fresh actually pollutes the air. How can polluted air be fresh? To make indoor air fresh the use of air purifiers is advisable.

Air fresheners are common in almost everyone’s home and office. Hotels, restaurants, coffee shops, malls and other places, everywhere air fresheners are used. Actually chemicals present in air fresheners are cause of many diseases. The most dangerous chemical is phthalates. Contact with these chemicals result in irritation of eyes and skin, fatigue as well as respiratory problems. You can also suffer from Asthma on account of using air fresheners. This is not enough extreme use or air fresheners can cause cancer which is hardly curable. Children and elderly people are more prone to diseases. We at Oxynet Solutions understand your problem. We look forward to keep you and your family free from air borne diseases. Odor control air purifiers will prevent harmful odors from entering your body and will keep you away from diseases.

There are many indoor air filters available in the market but buy air filters which are harmless. Avoid buying ionic air purifiers because they produce ozone gas. This gas gives rise to many serious health problems. The products of Oxynet Solution are ozone free. They are safe and medically approved.

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.
