Useful information
- What are harmful VOC's?
VOC's (volatile organic compounds) are organic chemicals that have high vapor pressure at normal room temperature. There are many VOC's, natural and man-made.
Some man-made VOC's are unhealthy and/or dangerous, s.a. toluene, xylene, benzene, formaldehyde and styrene.
Molletti Air Fragrance has been officially tested to produce no harmful VOC's.
- What is PMI 2,5?
Fine particles, or Particulate Matter 2.5 refers to tiny particles or droplets in the air that are two and half microns or less in width.
Particles in the PM 2.5 size range are able to travel deeply into the respiratory tract, reaching the lungs. Exposure to fine particles can cause short-term health effects such as eye, nose, throat and lung irritation, coughing sneezing, runny nose and shortness of breath. Exposure to fine particles can also affect lung function and worsen medical conditions such as asthma and heart disease.
Molletti Air Fragrance has been officially tested to produce almost no PMI 2.5.
