Pollen from trees, grasses and weeds is released into the air, travelling many miles in some instances. In the nose of a hay fever sufferer, the immune system mistakenly sees this pollen as a danger, triggering antibodies that attack the allergens and histamines which are responsible for the runny noses and itchy eyes.

Following the launch of the United Kingdom government’s Clean Air Strategy (14th January), Camfil welcomes its recognition of the effect of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) on people’s health. The document outlines a range of recommendations that focus on reducing exposure to particulate matter (PM), the very smallest of which cause the most damage.
Providing the appropriate environment for fertilisation is one of the most important steps in IVF. Airborne pollutants are critical in IVF facilities where air quality in laboratories and clinical procedure rooms can have enormous effects on embryo quality, embryo survival and the clinical outcome of IVF treatment.
We often discuss solutions for keeping the air inside our workplaces clean from pollutants. We speak about the harmful outdoor air pollution in cities from cars, smog and factories. But during the holiday season, we have the unique ability to spend time away from work and at home with friends and family.
Whether small or large, the end product of our air filters is clean air that is free of harmful contaminants, pollutants, allergens, dust, dirt, molecular gases, or even life-threatening radiation.
Next time you’re enjoying the sights of your local museum, consider the army of air filtration equipment that is helping to preserve history, art and culture from across the globe.
After a long career with HSBC, I established ‘Clean Air in London’ (CAL) in 2006 with a mission to achieve full compliance with World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines for air quality in London and elsewhere.
