Housing and Utilities Infrastructure

It is well known that environment of a modern megalopolis leaves much to be desired. We «use» 15–16 kg of polluted air in 24 hours, i. e. much more than all foodstuff. Thereby we receive a daily portion from 15 to 100 mg of such poisons as carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, benzopyrene and other compounds — big cities’ satellites.

Pollution level of carbon monoxide and nitric oxides in housing estate areas situated near highways is 10–15 time higher than the maximum permissible (maximum concentration limit). Precisely the same pollutant concentration can be found at one’s home.

Installation proposed for production allows to clear, sterilize and deodorize air.

General review of the issue	There are a great number of pollutants in the atmosphere of a modern apartment. Principal sources: street air, furniture, household chemicals, air-conditioners, vacuum cleaners, finishing materials, pets. In addition a man himself is the main source of biological pollution.
Examples, cases and problems	a vacuum cleaner is a dangerous «bacterial bomb» in one’s apartment because of the dust «living» in the dust collector. On the basis of heat from the engine and duration of accumulation dust mites, moldy, and bacteria propagate in hundreds of generations. When the vacuum cleaner is turned on, they are blown up in the air of the room. A warning signal for our immune system is that specific smell of the vacuum cleaner. Perceiving it, we inhale an enormous quantity of poisonous fungi and bacteria. As a matter of fact a modern apartment with a «Western-style renovation» and air-conditioner is an air-tight packaged incubator for mould and bacteria.
Traditional solutions	Apartment airing. Wet cleaning with cleansers.Conditioners with air-ions.
Our solutions	Ozone generators of small capacity for disinfection of bathrooms, kitchens, product store premises.Compact installations of plasma-catalytic air cleaning for kitchens.

Pollution level of carbon monoxide and nitric oxides in housing estate areas situated near highways is 10–15 time higher than the maximum permissible (maximum concentration limit). Precisely the same concentration of pollutants can be found at one’s home. One cannot hide from volatile street contaminants behind any tight double-glazed windows. City air coming into a room from the street has to be cleaned of toxic and fetid substances, conditioning and sterilization. Today we can already find a great number dangerous substances (see the table) in measurable quantities in city atmosphere.

The installation suggested for production allows to clear, sterilize, deodorize air of carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, ozone, ammonia, aldehydes, ethers, mercaptans and other fetid compounds; to clear gas emissions of vapours and aerosols, organic and other volatile toxic compounds and their decay products, including dioxins, benzpyrenes, bacterial, virus and moldy agents.

Inside the rooms air gets soiled by vapours of volatile organic compounds coming continuously from furniture, synthetic finishing materials, household chemicals and other sources (according to WHO experts room and office air is 4–6 times dirtier and 8–10 times more poisonous than external air and this is a primary risk factor for people’s health).
