The Importance of Breathing Clean Air

Environmental pollution poses a significant health risk, as it, along with other factors, can lead to cardiovascular accidents, lung cancers, and chronic neuropathies such as asthma. Therefore, the lower the pollution levels in cities, the better the cardiovascular and lung health of the population will be.

According to the World Health Organization, 80% of the world’s cities—both in developed and developing countries—greatly exceed the pollution levels considered safe, and 91% of the global population lives in areas where air quality guidelines are not met

We spend between 70 and 80% of our time in indoor spaces. Poor air quality at home or in the office can lead to allergies, infectious or irritative diseases, especially in more vulnerable people such as those with existing respiratory or heart conditions, as well as the elderly and children.

According to the Barcelona Institute for Global Health, reducing the city’s pollution levels to meet WHO recommendations would prevent 659 premature deaths each year and increase the life expectancy of its residents by 47 days.

That is why it is important to breathe clean, fresh air—at least in our homes and workplaces—and to maintain low CO2 levels during the night.

The double-flow ventilation system ensures that the air quality remains fresh, clean, and odor-free, while maintaining CO2 levels close to 400 ppm, which is the current level on the planet. Additionally, this double-flow ventilation system allows the aerothermal system—which heats and cools the home according to the season—to operate more efficiently and consume less energy.
