Atmospheric pollution
The air that we breathe is full of fine particles:
- Combustion
- Industries
- Urban pollution
- Transport
- Discharges from building materials
- Badly serviced fresh air systems

Impact on Health
Depending on their size, fine particles enter more or less deeply into the respiratory system and harm the organism:
|
- By altering the respiratory functions
- By transporting toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic substances present in the environment
- By being infectious (aspergillus, staphylococcus aureus, pseudomonas ...), the PM 2.5 particles are the cause of 3.5 million deaths due to cardiovascular diseases and 220,000 cases of lung cancer per year (Source : Environmental Health Perspectives study)
The WHO notes that fine particles are responsible for:
- 1.4% of world deaths
- A reduction of life expectancy by more than 8 months in Europe
|
|
On average, an office worker breathes in 1kg of PM 2.5 during his working life

ANSES (French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety) advises that the WHO recommendations are followed namely:
|
|
Air quality and comfort
COMFORT LINE
- Reduction of internal PM10 /PM2.5 particle load
- Air stream insulated in the suspended ceiling - Uniform temperature throughout the room: Coanda effect
- Optimised water temperature conditions (fewer condensates)
- Extremely quiet operation
- Up to 80% energy savings thanks to HEE technology
- Minimal maintenance
