According to the World Health Organization (WHO), airborne particle levels are causing damage to the health of Europeans.  The WHO has projected that 100,000 premature deaths in Europe are linked to exposure to airborne particulate matter.  In addition, European experts believe that the prevalence and seriousness of respiratory diseases such as asthma or bronchitis are exacerbated by this exposure to airborne particulate matter.

As a whole, the European Union should work to reduce this airborne particle level to improve the health of its most vulnerable citizens.  Air quality measurements may become a normal aspect of life for Europeans very soon.  Many European municipalities measure various pollutants that affect air quality.  These include particulate matter size 2.5 and 10, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, lead, carbon monoxide, benzene, and ozone.

Twenty six Eurpoean Union countries are supposed to enter their results from these air quality measurements to the European Environment Information and Observation Network (EIONET).  Currently, these measurement stations are situated in both city centers and rural areas.  The objective of these measurements is to assess the air quality requirements.  Ideally, these measurements will reflect the air quality requirements that have been defined by the European Commission.

However, these threshold values that are being established only apply to outdoor air.  Not indoor air.  As of today, the EIONET doesn't have any recommendations for indoor air quality.  Some experts consider these threshold values for outdoor air to be the maximum allowed for indoor air quality.

So what can you do to help yourself make sure that the air that you breathe in your home is of good enough quality?  Purchasing a good air purifier for your home will have a significant benefit on your health.  Consider getting Alen air purifiers or Blueair 402 air purifiers.  These air purifiers should be able to remove the airborne particulate matter from the air in your home.  Your health is important.
