NUS adapts household fans to combat haze

The Business Times, 26 May 2014

 

HOUSEHOLD  fans  can  now be  used  to  fight  the  haze thanks  to a filtration  system developed by researchers from the  National University of Singapore's (NUS) engi­neering faculty. The system, which  consists  of the  filter and a cover, converts a fan in­to an air  purifier.
The filter helps remove particulate matter measuring less than 2.5 microns in diam­eter  from  indoor air. Such particles, also  known as PM2.5, are referred to as "fine" particles and are be­ lieved  to  pose  the  greatest health hazards

A team of researchers from NUS’ Faculty of Engineering has developed a cost-effective solution for the control of indoor air pollution, especially from the haze. The development of this system is timely in light of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recent news on the risks of inhalation of particulate matter measuring less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5), which has been linked to a range of cardiovascular and respiratory ailments, including cancer. The new system is easy to use and ideal for use in a range of indoor environments.
