The Elderly
Preventing lung diseases.
The lung is the organ responsible for gas exchange in our body - oxygen for carbon dioxide - and for the oxygenation of the blood. As time goes by, our lungs gradually lose elasticity. The chest muscles lose the ability to eliminate secretions through coughing and deep breathing. By decreasing their activity, the cilia responsible for filtering the air cause an accumulation of secretions that promotes inflammation and reduces aerobic capacity, increasing the difficulty to perform our daily activities.
Natural aging, pollution in big cities, smoking, and often professional activity are factors that may contribute to chronic lung diseases (also known as respiratory diseases) such as asthma and emphysema.
The incidence of these diseases has increased in the large urban areas, especially during colder seasons, and the elderly are the most affected by them. Main symptoms of a decreased quality of life include air trapped in the lungs, productive coughing, bronchospasm (wheezing), and shortness of breath on mild exertion (dyspnea).
AIRFREE® AIR PURUFIERS are up to 99% efficient in destroying airborne mold spores, bacteria, viruses, ozone, mite and dust allergens, and other airborne allergens derived from animals and pollen, and they are major allies in increasing the quality of life of more sensitive people such as the elderly, children and people who suffer from allergies.
How do they work?
They dramatically reduce air pollution by burning the microorganisms. As a result, the contaminated air is drawn into the Airfree® ceramic core and destroyed at high temperatures. This air purification cycle is silent, requires no maintenance and is guaranteed by numerous tests.
