According to scientists, the health effects of forest fires are more serious than previously thought. Particulate matter produced by smoke penetrates deep into our lungs and can cause severe damage to them. The smallest particulate matter is so fine that it can even reach our bloodstream. Using an air purifier for smoke can help prevent these problems.
Multiple studies have shown that even short-term exposure to air pollution can have health consequences. Long-term exposure to air pollutants increases the risk of severe symptoms and has long-term consequences for the human body.

Researchers from University College in London (UCL) found in its latest study that even low levels of exposure to air pollutants can affect the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD is the main cause of people developing irreversible blindness. This involves the loss of central vision, which is mainly needed for reading or recognizing faces. The study found that people living in areas with high levels of air pollutants are at least 8% more likely to develop the disease.
A HEPA filter (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) is a common and widely used way to turn polluted air into clean and healthy air.
