Let the Science Talk – The Benefits of An Air Purifier

Recent studies showed that air purifiers protect against allergens and improve cardiovascular health and lung function. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Another study stated that technologically advanced air filter systems which can efficiently remove pollutants results in significant health benefits to asthma and cardiovascular patients.

• Improve respiratory health

A study by Francis et al. concluded a beneficial clinical outcome using indoor HEPA air cleaner for 30 asthmatic patients. The investigation resulted in a small but significant improvement in combined asthma outcomes.

Meanwhile, another study shows a significant reduction in nocturnal symptoms, including the stuffy nose observed in the HEPA filter group.

• Positive impact on vascular health

A recent study by Weichenthal et al. stated the indoor PM2.5 decreased substantially during the study period when an air filter was used. On average, the use of an air filter was associated with a decrease in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

• Improvement in lung function

The First Nation's encouraging finding suggested reducing indoor fine particulate matters (PM2.5) with an air filter may improve lung function.

Summary: Are air purifiers good for your health?

In short, an air purifier brings enormous benefits if you have chosen the right one. One thing we can confirm is air purifiers can reduce the levels of indoor PM2.5 with a wide range of health improvements.

However, the wrong type of air purifier might not worth your money due to its ineffectiveness in purifying the surrounding air. Reduction in particulate matters and allergens can be achieved successfully through efficient air filters.

High-density Plasmacluster Ions Air Purifier

Exclusive air purifying technology from SHARP

• Plasmacluster technology generates and emits the same positive and negative ions that occur in nature. These ions deactivate airborne contaminants by attaching to them while extracting a hydrogen compound to break down the protein membrane, resulting in water molecules, which are returned to the air.
• Plasmacluster Technology emits more positive and negative ions in a room than even those found in a forest. It is proven to be safe and highly effective, no matter how high the ions' density is.

• Plasmacluster provides you with natural and safe air. This unique technology from Sharp applies the power of nature.
• Sharp's revolutionary Plasmacluster technology has been proven to be effective against suspending viruses and microbes that contaminate our air, leaving air cleaner and healthier.

High Density 7000, 25000 & 50000 (NEXT)+

Different ion density provides different level of benefits. Plasmacluster air purifier with ion density 7000 can purify the air, remove odors, and reduce static electricity.

Meanwhile, Plasmacluster air purifier with ion density 25000 can do a lot more than purifiers with ion density 7000. The functions include but are not limited to air purifying, odors removal, and static electricity reduction. Also, it is capable of suppressing the adhering viruses, mold fungus, and pollens. Strong odors like tobacco can be removed as well. This kind of air purifiers tends to have a 5x elimination speed compared to those with ion density 7000, thus making skin-beautifying effective.

High-Density NEXT purifiers are way more powerful. It produces ion density 50,000. Other than the listed effects above, these purifiers can create a less stressful environment that is easier to maintain the ions' concentration. Pet owners are advised to have a purifier with High-Density NEXT in home since they can suppress bacteria that cause pet skin disease. Removal of odor-causing bacteria and adhering excrement odor are also what High-Density NEXT purifiers are capable of. In conclusion, these purifiers have more purification ability compared to Plasmacluster air purifiers with ion density 7000.

The Superiority of Plasmacluster Technology

Beyond the power of purifying the surrounding air- SHARP air purifiers can do a lot more. We care for the air you breathe in, and we care for your health.

Plasmacluster Ions Purifies the Room Air

Sharp Plasmacluster ions air purifiers can effectively eliminate airborne mold and suppress the activities of adhering bacteria, viruses, and allergens.

Eliminates odors

A high density of Plasmacluster ions can break down and eliminate adhering odors from tobacco smoke, cooking smell, and pet odors.

Reduces Static Electricity

Plasmacluster ions reduce static electricity, preventing pollen and airborne dust from clinging to curtains, clothing, and other surfaces.

Skin-Beautifying Effects

Water molecules produced by PCI adhere to the skin's surface, forming a coating that maintains the skin's moisture.

Plasmacluster Mechanism

Illustration about Sharp's HEPA Filter

The HEPA filter has a 99.97% dust collection rate, which can capture and eliminate:

• 99.97% capture and removal of 0.3-micron dust particles
• Tree pollen and grass pollen that cause allergy
• Allergens like dust mite feces, animals' dander, and mold
• Viruses and airborne microbes
• Odors

Active Carbon Deodorizing Filter

Active carbon deodorizing filter has a powerful deodorizing ability to remove various kinds of odors such as cigarette smoke, garbage, and pet odors. It can also effectively remove formaldehyde, a pungent-smelling and colorless gas.
