A team at the National University of Singapore has developed an indoor air filtration system touted as being twice as effective as regular air purifiers -- and they will hit the shelves soon.
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.
Cost-effective solution that leverages fans as air purifiers
NUS News, May 26, 2014
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.
