The air quality in Europe may not be as good as you think.

Posted on September 12, 2018 by 
The European Environmental Management Agency (EAA) said on October 11 that although air quality in the European continent is slowly improving, air pollution still causes premature deaths of more than 500,000 Europeans each year.
Although the data released by the European Environmental Management Agency (EAA), based in Copenhagen, reveals some encouraging signs, all of which are attributed to high technology, but air pollution is still the main cause of early death. In its latest report, the Environmental Management Agency said that in 2014, 520,400 premature deaths in 41 European countries were caused by air pollutants caused by fossil fuel combustion, compared with the 550,000 premature deaths in 2013. Improvement, but the results are small.

Of these premature deaths, approximately four out of every five cases are directly related to fine particles. These so-called fine particles are also known as PM2.5. These particles have an aerodynamic equivalent diameter of 2.5 microns or less. They can be suspended in the air for a long time. They are easy to attach toxic substances and can reach human lungs directly. The particles can even enter the blood vessels. These particles accumulate in the lungs and can cause respiratory diseases and lung damage.
According to data collected by the Environmental Management Agency’s monitoring stations, in 2015, only about 82% of the EU’s urban population was exposed to these fine particulate matter (PM2.5), down from 85% in 2013. But this is not enough.
In addition, there are other air pollution that needs to be backed up for people’s premature death. Among them, the toxic gas nitrogen dioxide (NO2) released by automobiles and central heating boilers causes 71,000 people to die prematurely every year in the EU. Ground-level ozone (O3) has also become a killer, with an estimated annual death of 17,000 people in the EU. Unlike the protective ozone layer in the atmosphere, ground-level ozone is harmful. It is formed by chemical reaction of nitrogen dioxide with other pollutants or heating in the sun.
“The European Commission is working to address the issue of air pollution, and we hope to help member states ensure that their citizens’ air quality is the highest standard,” said Karmenu Vella, environmental commissioner for marine and fisheries in the European Union.

Development Trend of Water Purification Market 2019 Posted on  May 10, 2019   by  olans228 According to the offline monitoring data of AVC, the development speed of high-throughput products greater than or equal to 200L is fast and increasing. The proportion of high-throughput products is nearly 64% in the first half of the year, while the share of low-throughput products is gradually decreasing. The water purification industry is developing towards the direction of large flux, long life, high water saving, and intelligentization. More consumers have opted for high-throughput reverse OSMOSIS WATER PURIFIERS Reverse osmosis technology  has gradually become the mainstream of the market, in ultrafiltration, activated carbon, nanofiltration, and other technologies ranked first. In the first half of 18 years, reverse OSMOSIS technology products accounted for 90% of the total. Large flow for Reverse osmosis with WIFI will be very hot for the market. Welcome...

PM2.5 Air Quality Index

图片
PM2.5 Air Quality Index Here provides comparisons of air quality based on factors that have been shown to increase risk from air pollution. These factors can include life stages (children and older adults), specific health conditions (heart or lung disease), and increased likelihood of exposure from being active outdoors. The Air Quality Index (AQI) is the official index for air quality across the United States. The AQI ranges from 0 to 500. The higher the AQI value, the greater the level of air pollution and the greater the health concern. When AQI values are between 101 and 150, or code orange, members of sensitive groups may experience health effects. This is because they are more likely to be affected at lower air quality levels than everyone else. For example, children and older adults, people with lung disease, and people who are active outdoors (outdoor workers) are at greater risk from exposure to ozone. Older adults and children, and people with heart or lung disease ar...
