MANILA, Philippines - Forest fires generated from pulp, paper, and palm oil production in West Java are choking Indonesia and neighboring countries in a thick blanket of haze, and the equatorial winds have brought the haze to the Philippines. Exposure to haze pollutants such as ozone, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide poses health risks, particularly respiratory and lung problems. Residents, especially those living in Mindanao and Cebu, should take precautionary measures to stay protected from these health hazards. One way is to use a Sharp Plasmacluster Air Purifiers with Haze Mode, for clean and pollutant-free air inside the home. PCI Technology uses a natural air defense mechanism that reverses air pollution, eliminating 99% of airborne threats. When Plasmacluster Ions come in contact with airborne threats, OH radicals form on its surface. These OH radicals take away the hydrogen and decompose protein found in viruses, bacteria, microbes and allergens. Without protein, airborne threats are disabled and, in effect, deactivated. The hydrogen left combines with OH radicals, and together they transform into water, which is released into the air.
Plasmacluster Air Purifiers with Haze Mode (FP-F30E-H, FP-F40E-W, FP-FM40E-B, KC-D40E-W, KC-D60E-W) are available at all leading appliance stores nationwide, with pricing that starts from P7,498.
