LG’s innovative solutions ensure cleaner homes for a healthier and more productive UAE
Boasting smart, green and convenient features, LG’s consumer-centric PuriCare Air Purifiers and Hom-Bots are playing a big role in the wellbeing of UAE’s residents
DUBAI, Apr. 30, 2018 — Asthma and other chronic respiratory illnesses affect millions across the globe and the UAE is no exception. In a research report by the Department of Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Unit, Rashid Hospital – Dubai Health Authority, UAE, the total direct cost of asthma in Dubai was about 88 million Dirhams. Medication and ER visits alone accounted for 36 percent of this cost. Asthma also had an impact on absenteeism from school and work, resulting in loss of productivity across many industries.
One of the easiest ways of tackling the challenge of poor air quality is to start with the home, ensuring that the indoor environment is free of dust, particulate matter and other harmful pollutants that adversely affect respiratory health. Unbeknownst to many UAE residents, chemicals from household air fresheners, deodorants, detergents, and other chemical-based cleaning agents tend to linger in the air long after they are used. Poor ventilation and improper maintenance of air conditioning vents often leads to the accumulation of these harmful chemicals. Combined with other particulate matter, this could lead to various health complications. LG believes that healthy homes equals healthy and productive people, and understands the need for smart, green and innovative solutions to improve indoor air quality, and have consequently developed a line of PuriCare Air Purifiers and vacuum cleaners to create safe and healthy indoor environments.
LG’s range of PuriCare Air Purifiers are certified by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) to remove 99.97 percent of airborne particles, including ultra-fine dust, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), harmful gases like formaldehyde, smog, and allergens. The Smart Indicator has a user-friendly colour-coded LED system that constantly displays current air quality inside the room. With SmartThinQ connectivity, consumers can even monitor the indoor air quality of their homes when they are away, on their smartphones.
