How can ATMOSPHERE® help with asthma? – Amway ANZ

The average person breathes approximately 13,000 litres of air each day.

According to reports from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), more than 90% of our time is generally spent indoors. The US EPA also found the air inside your home can be up to 5 times more polluted than the air outside.

The Australian CSIRO found that indoor air pollution can contribute to headaches, asthma, sore throats, eye irritation, lung cancer, nausea and a general feeling of discomfort.

2.2 million Australians have asthma, including 1 in 6 children and 1 in 9 adults (Asthma Foundation, NSW 2007).*

In New Zealand, over 600 000 people have asthma – this includes an estimated 1 in 4 children and 1 in 6 adults.**

Documented evidence shows the HEPA filter in the ATMOSPHERE® Air Purifier removes particles as small as 0.009 microns and 80 allergenic or pollutant contaminants.

The HEPA filter in the ATMOSPHERE system removes 99.99% of airborne pollutant particulates such as smoke, dust, pollen and over 80 others that pass through the filter
