Clean and healthy air has never been so important as it is today. In addition to increased particulate contamination and allergens, viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 that are transmitted through the air are now posing an increased health risk. Find out what features of purifiers to pay attention to to ensure clean air in your environment.
The air we breathe can have a significant impact on our health. We all know that outdoor pollution is a big problem, but unfortunately many people don’t worry too much about the air quality in their own home.
Our home air can be affected by a variety of pollutants, including dust, mold spores, smoke, combustion products, and volatile organic compounds. These substances can cause or worsen various health problems. Poor indoor air quality can have a range of health effects, ranging from mild and generally nonspecific symptoms, such as headaches and fatigue, to more severe effects, such as allergy to allergens, and exacerbation of asthma and allergic reactions. Indoor air quality is therefore of particular importance if a household member suffers from asthma or other respiratory conditions.
Most of us spend a large part of our lives indoors, so it’s important to think about the air quality in our homes – by cleaning the air, you can significantly improve the health and quality of life of your family. No matter how often and thoroughly you clean your home, it is impossible to eliminate all pollutants – it will be a good decision to buy a modern air purifier that will be useful not only in winter, but also throughout the year. Why?
Why is an air purifier with humidifier useful all year round?
Most people associate air purifiers mainly with the autumn-winter period – nothing could be further from the truth. According to many environmental agencies, indoor air at any time of the year can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air. This is due to a simple fact – indoor air does not circulate as much as it does in open space. [1] Air quality is something that we unfortunately have to worry about all year round.
Although we often think of spring as the allergic season, the truth is that the pollen season gets longer every year. Today, pollen appears faster and lasts longer, making the allergy season longer and more intense than ever before. Moreover, when the temperature rises, people tend to close their windows and start the air conditioning. While this will help keep the room temperature at a more comfortable level, unfortunately it also reduces airflow.
Having an air purifier at home is the best way to get clean, filtered air in any room, whatever the weather, and without the risk of polluted air particles getting into your home.
What is worth remembering when choosing the air purifier for your apartment?
To combat pollutants and germs that are hazardous to health, Sharp proposes air purifiers with the unique Plasmacluster balanced ionization technology, the effectiveness of which has been confirmed and awarded with numerous certificates and awards.
Plasmacluster is a unique air purification technology that reduces the activity of harmful particles by breaking down proteins on their surface as a result of a safe chemical reaction. The Plasmacluster generator emits positive and negative ions into the air, which are the same type of ions found in nature. The positive and negative Plasmacluster ions bind to the surface of airborne viruses, allergens, bacteria, fungi and similar particles and are converted into OH radicals. OH radicals, thanks to the extremely powerful oxidizing force, quickly extract hydrogen (H) from the protein on the surface of the molecules, thus decomposing the protein and inhibiting their activity. In addition, the OH radical binds to the removed hydrogen atom (H), immediately forming water (H2O) which is returned to the air. In other words, Plasmacluster technology eliminates harmful germs. What’s more, the only by-product of the process are water molecules – as a result, the air also becomes slightly moisturized.
It is thanks to the combination of advanced mechanical filtration with the technology of balanced ionization Plasmacluster that it is possible to effectively clean the air from any pollutants – smog, viruses, allergens, bacteria, mites, fungi, mold, and even unpleasant odors such as the smell of tobacco smoke or pets. Sharp offers three series of air purifiers:
Series UA-KIL – model UA-KIL60, UA-KIL80
Sharp UA-KIL is the top series of Sharp Ultimate Air air purifiers. Thanks to the most efficient ion generator Plasmacluster Ion 25000 removes pollutants from the air more than three times faster than the generator used in previous models Plasmacluster Ion 7000. The purifier is equipped with a five-stage filtration system (three mechanical filters, humidification and Plasmacluster balanced ionization technology), making reduces air smog, viruses, allergens, bacteria, unpleasant odors and mold. Importantly, the filters used have a very long service life, up to 10 years. The air quality is monitored with the use of five sensors – temperature, humidity, dust (including PM 2.5), smell and light, and based on the collected data, the purifier independently adjusts the work to the conditions in the environment. The UA-KIL series is also distinguished by an attractive design that has been awarded the iF Design Award 2021. To choose the best air purifier for your needs, you need to consider the size of the space in which it is to be used. Air purifiers have their efficiency measured in square meters. The air purifiers from the UA-KIL line are especially recommended for the area of 50 m2 (UA-KIL60) and 62 m2 (UA-KIL80).
Series UA-KIN – model UA-KIN40, UA-KIN50
Air purifiers from the UA-KIN line are especially recommended for smaller areas of 28 m2 (UA-KIN40) and 38 m2 (UA-KIN50). Sharp UA-KIN is the latest series of Sharp Ultimate Air purifiers, which also use the most efficient Plasmacluster 25000 ion generator. UA-KIN series models are distinguished by an extremely efficient humidification system (up to 600 ml / h) – the device ensures optimal conditions in a short time after switching on in the room. The UA-KIN series purifiers are also very attractive in appearance. Thanks to its slim structure and minimalist design with a matte finish, the devices will perfectly fit into any interior. Customers can choose from two available colors – white and graphite.
UA-HG series – models UA-HG40, UA-HG50, UA-HG60
Sharp UA-HG are intelligent premium air purifiers that are not only efficient, but also intuitive to use, automated and using modern technology. The air quality is controlled by as many as six sensors monitoring seven factors – temperature, humidity, dust and PM 2.5, smell, movement and light. Thanks to this, the device automatically increases the fan speed when it senses dirt or dims the display panel at night, when the room lights go out. Of course, the user also has the option of selecting one of the three manual modes by himself, selecting the intensity of the purifier’s work to suit his needs. Plasmacluster technology, efficient humidification (up to 630 ml / h) and a special pollen mode make it especially recommended for allergy sufferers, which is confirmed by the Allergy UK certificate. The models of the UA-HG series are optimal for an area of 28 m2 (UA-HG40), 38 m2 (UA-HG50) and 50 m2 (UA-HG60).
The optimal solution is one device in the most important rooms where the household members are (living room, bedroom or children’s room / rooms). Depending on their surface, it is worth choosing the right model so that it can clean the air and moisturize it, while maintaining the work culture.
