Background
As CO2 builds up in the atmosphere and causes Earth’s temperature to rise, higher temperatures lead to an increase in ozone, a key component of smog associated with many health problems, including diminished lung function, asthma, and increases in premature deaths (CDC). But get this: indoor air quality is actually even worse than outdoor air quality! From cooking residue to paints, microplastics and fungal spores, the air we breathe indoors is often more polluted than that outside. And even though we spend 90% of our days inside, the issue is frequently overlooked altogether.
Solution
Enter EAS - the company solving this problem with their medical-grade air filters. The JADE air purification system captures and neutralizes dust particles, pollen, volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), mold, allergens, viruses, odors (like formaldehyde and smoke), bio-aerosols, nitrous oxide, and many other pollutants that are found in the inside air in workplaces and residences.
