Camfil Farr IAQ Road Show

Why do we need clean air?
Our industrialized world changed a lot of things for us human beings. Increased pollution was one change that affected our environment. Today, air pollution is a global problem whose seriousness varies from place to place. Since most of its impacts on human health are long-term, the problem is often overlooked. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), air pollution kills approximately two million people every year.

This outdoor pollution, which seeps into our homes and buildings, can easily contribute to indoor pollution. Efficient filtration solutions exist to clean air and protect people but few are aware of the benefits of clean air for productivity or controlling costs. Protecting people from the health impact of air pollution costs money, but it is also a long-term investment that can reduce the cost of higher sick leave rates at workplaces and associated medical expenses, for example. Large-scale scientific surveys conducted in Scandinavia have also proven that the learning performance of school children improved by 15 percent, thanks to improved ventilation.

At Camfil Farr we believe there is a need to increase general awareness of air pollution and to put Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) on the political agenda. IAQ should be a public health concern. We need to pay attention to the importance of healthy IAQ.

Camfil Farr’s vision is clear: clean air should be a human right.
