Descrizione del progetto
Un nuovo dispositivo consente di respirare facilmente in casa
L’inquinamento dell’aria negli interni è una delle maggiori preoccupazioni per la salute ambientale che provoca gravi effetti sulla salute. Anche se gli inquinanti atmosferici possono provenire dall’esterno, la maggior parte di essi viene rilasciata all’interno dell’edificio durante attività quali cucinare e riscaldare. Mobili e materiali da costruzione, nonché umidità e mancanza di ventilazione, possono aumentare ulteriormente l’inquinamento dell’aria negli interni. I metodi utilizzati per eliminare le sostanze nocive dall’aria, comprendenti filtraggio meccanico, ionizzazione e metodi chimici, sono ad alto consumo energetico e solitamente richiedono un’installazione gravosa. Il progetto JONIXAirPlasma ha sviluppato un dispositivo unico che combina filtrazione dell’aria e purificazione. Esso presenta un’elevata efficienza di rimozione di oltre il 95 %, con zero sostanze chimiche utilizzate e zero residui prodotti. Viene inoltre fornito con un’app e un software basato su cloud.
Obiettivo
People spend 90% of their time indoors. Indoor air quality can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than the outside, caused by factors such as the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), Volatile Inorganic Compounds (VIC), airborne microorganism (bacteria, virus, mould, fungi, etc.), particulates by furnishings and building materials, poor ventilation and the presence of tobacco smoke or household fuels. Indoor pollution is responsible for 2.7% of the global diseases. In Europe it causes 4.3% of deaths of children aged 0 to 4 years and has a prevalence on asthmatic symptoms of children up to 37% representing a cost of 152-234 M€. Current technologies focus either on air filtration (mechanical removal of contaminant) or air purification (air treatment using specific treatment). Main solutions currently available are: Mechanical filtration, Ionization, Absorption and Ozone generation. But those technologies are either high energy consuming and noisy, have a limited range of contaminant removal, produce residues or consume chemicals and need usually a heavy installation and maintenance which increase the overall cost of the air treatment service. Our JONIXAirPlasma technology is a unique and complete solution providing both air filtration and purification in a same device which 1) has a high removal rate efficiency (over 95%) on all kind of air contaminants (VOC, VIC, air-born pathogens, odours, etc.), 2) does not produce any residue nor consume any chemicals, 3) is instantaneously installed (stand-alone device) and has convenient maintenance, 4) is logical and Intuitive thanks to its touch screen and App with remote control with cloud-based software. JONIX is an experienced SME, created in 2014 with an annual turnover of 341K€ turnover and 3 full time employees. We have already sold worldwide over 1,000 of our star product: the CUBE.
