Blueair air purifier .
Blueair aims for plastic free air with purifiers
PLASTIC particles sized between five millimetre and 0.1 micrometre are defined as microplastics . They are categorised as primary and secondary microplastics with the former being plastic particles or microbeads produced in microscopic size for use in cosmetics , toiletries and paint . Secondary microplastics are plastic fragments from larger plastic objects . Both primary and secondary microplastics are airborne and can be inhaled and harmful to humans .
Microplastics in the indoor air result from the fragmentation through friction , heat or light of plastic objects found in our homes . Airborne microplastics may also carry other toxic pollutants found in the air from bacteria to traffic emissions into the bloodstream from the lungs .
Blueair senior air filtration expert Kevin Luo commented that microplastic particles penetrate the deep lung tissue and cannot be removed or digested by the human immune systems .
“ The smallest particles can also pass into the bloodstream and cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases , induce cancer , and affect the human immune and nervous system ” he said .
Blueair air purifiers are known for their impeccable ability in removing pollen , smoke , dust , bacteria and viruses found in cleaning products .
With its unique HEPASilent filtration technology , Blueair air purifier guarantees the elimination of at least 99.97 per cent airborne microplastics – down to 0.1 micrometre in size from indoor air .
