Ecosil ME στα αγγλικά και με λεπτομέρειες σχετικά με τις χημικές ουσίες που εξουδετερώνονται

Σύντομη περιγραφή

Keim Ecosil-ME is a particularly beneficial mineral paint as it is a photocatalytic interior paint (ME = Minox Effect). Photocatalytic paints contain a catalyst, in this case titanium dioxide, which when activated by light, enables a reaction converting harmful air pollutants into harmless substances.

INDOOR AIR POLLUTION – THE ISSUE

Outdoor air pollution is a well-publicised discussion topic, focusing on industrial and transport emissions. It is really important, however, to also look at the potential health effects of poor indoor air quality. Indoor air quality can have negative impacts on building occupants, particularly for groups of people with specific sensitivity to pollution including the young, elderly and those who suffer with existing respiratory health conditions.

The impact of air pollutants on human health depends on their toxicity, concentration and exposure period, but with research suggesting that, on average, people spend 90% of their times indoors, the effects can range from odour, to irritation, to more serious toxic effects. In working and learning environments such as offices and schools, poor indoor air quality can significantly impact productivity and impair learning.

Indoor air pollution is created by a mixture of pollutants generated from inside the building and external pollution which migrates indoors. Internal sources include building materials used during construction of the building i.e. paints, furniture and furnishings, cleaning products and air fresheners as well cooking and heating appliances.

Examples of some of the most prevalent and potentially harmful indoor air pollutants include benzene, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) such as toluene and ozone, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and nitrogen dioxide.

INDOOR AIR POLLUTION – A SOLUTION

Whilst measures can be taken to control outdoor emissions and ventilate internal areas, it is also possible to use materials such as mineral paints which are made with only natural materials to help improve internal air quality. Mineral paints do not contain any VOCs and are both environmentally friendly and sustainable.
