Particles in the air

Clean air is vital for our wellbeing

The air we breathe is full of particles, bacteria and viruses, many of which have an impact on our health and wellbeing.

Particles like dust, pollen, mould spores and bacteria can affect lung function or trigger skin issues, asthma and allergies. The smaller the particles are, the more dangerous they can be to breathe in since they can reach deep into our lungs and our bloodstream, damaging various organs. Regular exposure to these kinds of particles can have serious negative consequences for our health and can cause cancer and cardiopulmonary issues. The air inside a building usually contains significantly more particles than the outside air and we regularly spend extended periods of time in the same locations, such as a place of work, breathing in the same air.

Unfortunately, good ventilation alone is not enough to ensure a clean and healthy indoor environment. It is important to have an effective air purifier with high filtration effect that cleans the air of even the smallest particles. With a Njord air purifier, you get a clean and healthy indoor environment free from harmful particles, dust and pollen. The air purifier also captures air-borne bacteria and viruses, such as COVID-19, minimising the risk of infection by up to 90%. Clean air indoors also has a positive effect on performance, combating fatigue and producing a generally healthier workforce and fewer sick days.

PM10 / Pollen, fine dust and larger organic particles etc.
Particles with a diameter of 10 μm or less can reach our airways and cause reduced lung function and problems with allergies.
PM2.5 / Mould spores, bacteria, ash and dust mite allergens etc.
Particles with a diameter of 2.5 μm or less can get deep into our lungs and cause reduced lung function, skin issues, allergies and problems with our eyes.
PM1 / Viruses, bacteria, smoke and combustion particles etc.
Particles with a diameter of 1 μm or less are the most dangerous. They are small enough to enter our bloodstream and cause cancer, cardiovascular issues and dementia.

Particles and equipment

Clean air creates the ideal conditions for advanced equipment

Particles in the air can also create major issues for sensitive equipment, machines and automation systems which require a clean, particle-free environment to function properly. Njord air purifiers keep the air free from dust and particles, minimising the risk of costly and time-consuming interruptions for servicing.
