Why purify indoor air?
Indoor air pollution
Indoor and outdoor sources of building air pollutants
According to the WHO (World Health Organization), 48,000 French people die prematurely each year due to pollutants assimilated at home and in the workplace.
The main cause of this indoor pollution: VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) which spread into the ambient air via decoration, building materials, household products, air conditioning systems, animal hair, hair, plants, humidity, etc.
Indoor air quality can also be affected by a high concentration of people (releasing CO2 in particular), in a restricted environment.
Indoor air pollution is responsible for non-communicable diseases: stroke, ischemic heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer. It can also cause acute lower respiratory tract infections (pneumonia), which account for 28% of deaths in adults.
The harmful effects of pollution on the individual
Viruses
The air we breathe every day has become one of the vectors for the transmission of viruses and diseases such as the flu, COVID-19, H2N2, etc.
A US study conducted by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), published on March 17, shows that COVID-19 could remain suspended in the air for up to 3 hours, loaded with viruses.
The flu virus measures 0.08 μm to 1 μm in diameter. The H2N2 flu virus is between 0.08 and 0.12 μm in size
Bacteria
Bacteria are well-known microorganisms. They are tiny single-celled organisms that are about a micron in size.
In general, the air inside buildings has a higher level of bacteria than the air outside.
Among these, molds. Microscopic fungi that develop in warm and humid places: the bathroom, the kitchen, the cellar, etc.
A recent study by the Observatoire de la Qualité de l’Air Intérieur (OQAI) reveals that 37% of homes have microorganisms in this form.
These mold spores are inhaled by humans at the same time as pollen, dust and other fine and ultrafine particles. They are likely to cause respiratory symptoms, pulmonary or ENT, rhinoconjunctivitis, sinusitis, etc.
Like mold, pets, insects (cockroaches), mites and plants emit allergens. These microscopic agents can cause violent reactions of the immune system (allergies) after contact, ingestion or inhalation. They can cause rhinitis, respiratory discomfort, eye infection, eye disorders.
Air is a precious commodity and essential to life. This pollution is responsible for
many ailments that can have a striking impact on our health:
- respiratory allergies
- asthma
- irritation and dryness in the eyes, throat, nose
- chronic bronchitis, cough, dyspnea,
wheezing
- headaches, fatigue
- difficulty concentrating
- infection of viruses (e.g.: flu, COVID-19, H2N2)
- cardiological and neurological problems due to asphyxia
Box'Pure Air Treatment, the solution for pure air in the workplace and at home.
Thanks to its double filtration system, using a Box'Pure Air Treatment air purifier quickly restores cleaner and safer air to your living spaces.

The air returned is perfectly pure, healthy and pleasant, diffused by gentle ventilation to the four corners of the room, even over large areas.
- fine particles PM10-PM2.5-PM1.0, (volatile organic compounds, viruses, bacteria, spores, molds,)
- allergens (mites, pollens, dust, animal hair), fumes (tobacco, fire, barbecue)
- gases (deterioration of sargassum, vehicle exhaust)
- unpleasant odors.
