Which Face Mask is The Best To Protect Yourself Against The Omicron Variant?

by admin
The Omicron variant first surfaced in late November of this year in South Africa, but it has since spread rapidly throughout the world, including Malaysia. Since then, Malaysia has recorded 64 cases of the Omicron variant. While preliminary research suggests that this strain has milder symptoms and a lower likelihood of hospitalisation than Delta, it is 4.2 times more infectious, making it just as dangerous. According to experts, improving face mask fit and filtration is important to reducing the spread of the highly virulent Omicron strain. Poor fit may compromise a mask’s ability to filter out harmful particles such as virus particles. There are many different types of face masks on the market, but which one provides the most protection in the age of the COVID-19 outbreak? While wearing any mask is preferable to not wearing one, we must go above and beyond to strengthen our defences against the COVID-19 virus.

COMPARISONS BETWEEN FACE MASKS

Cloth masks are becoming more popular because they are more comfortable and visually attractive; however, can they provide effective protection against the Omicron variant? Even when Alpha and Delta variants first appeared, health professionals do not recommend wearing fabric masks; instead, disposable masks such as surgical masks, KN95, KF94, and N95 masks are the best options.

N95 FACE MASK

  • Filter out 95 percent of particles as small as 0.3 microns
  • Fluid resistant to large droplets and has a higher filtering efficacy in blocking smaller particulate materials
  • Used by healthcare workers in the high-risk environment
  • Tight-fitting

KF94 MASK

  • Filter out 94 percent of particles down to 0.3 microns in size
  • Fluid resistant to large droplets and higher filtration efficacy to block smaller particulate matters
  • Anyone in the low-to-moderate risk environment can use it
  • Customisable fitting

SURGICAL MASK

  • The primary function is to shield others from the wearer’s breathing droplets.
  • Filter out 60 percent of smaller particles
  • Anyone in the low-to-moderate risk environment can use it
  • Loose-fitting

CLOTH MASK

  • Provides some barrier protection against large respiratory droplets emitted by others
  • Filter out 10 – 30 percent of small particles
  • Loose-fitting
Based on these comparisons above, N95 provides the best protection for filtering small particles. However, authorities reserve the N95 masks for healthcare workers handling COVID-19 patients daily in high-risk environments. The ideal face mask to use in low-to-moderate risk situations is KF94 (Korean Filter) mask. Avoid wearing fabric masks since they will not give enough protection  from the Omicron variant.
Enviro Group Asia will release its KF95 masks, one of the best face masks on the market, as part of our ongoing commitment to protecting Malaysians. KF95 masks are individually packaged to keep them hygienic and clean until you’re ready to use them. Our KF95 masks have the following characteristics:
  • 5-ply layers, providing greater protection
  • Well-fitted mask
  • 99% VFE filtration efficiency against the virus
  • Filtering up to PM0.1
  • Light and comfortable
  • Premium soft and thin materials to minimise skin irritations and allergies.
  • Best in class protection
  • Fluid resistant
KF94 mask
Khairy Jamaluddin, the Minister of Health of Malaysia, has cautioned Malaysians that an Omicron wave, similar to those detected in other nations worldwide, could happen in Malaysia. The government has advised us to receive our booster shots, apply the TRIIS (test, report, isolate, inform, and seek) measures if we have symptoms, and always wear masks while going outside. The fight against the COVID-19 virus is far from being over; we must always be careful and take extra precautions to ensure our safety and those around us.

Here is What We Know About Omicron Variant So far

by admin
With businesses reopening and more social gatherings among friends and family as the COVID-19 outbreak entered an endemic phase a few months ago, everyone began to rejoice, only for the Omicron variant to emerge. Specialists first discovered the newly mutated Omicron variant in South Africa in November 2021. Among other countries, Malaysia, France, and Germany have reported cases of the Omicron variant.
The new Omicron version is 4.2 times more infectious than the Delta variant, according to research. The variant also has many mutations, including over 30 spike protein variants, enabling the variant to infiltrate into human cells easier.

CONFIRMED CASES IN MALAYSIA 

Malaysia has confirmed 62 Omicron variant cases, 61 of which were imported cases, and one was locally transmitted. The local transmission was a woman from Sarawak who had no prior travel arrangements when afflicted with the virus. Although the cases for the Omicron variant appear to be minimal, statistics show that imported cases have significantly increased. According to one study, Omicron spreads rapidly, doubling in 1.5 to 2.5 days. This data depicts how low numbers can quickly rise to large numbers.

VACCINE EFFECTIVENESS AGAINST OMICRON VARIANT

The vaccines designed for us consumers have protected us incredibly against the previous Delta variant in reducing the risks if we contracted the COVID-19 virus. However, three to four months after vaccination, two doses of Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccines provide less protection against the Omicron variant.
Individuals who received a Pfizer primary course saw a roughly 70 percent protection after a Pfizer booster, dropping to 45 percent after 10-plus weeks, and 70 to 75 percent after a Moderna booster up to 9 weeks after booster.
Individuals who received Astrazeneca immunisations initially then a Pfizer booster saw their protection drop to 35 percent after ten weeks and 45 percent with a Moderna booster.
Two doses of Sinovac developed inadequate antibodies against Omicron, according to a study from the University of Hong Kong. The same incident goes with the Sinovac booster. The University of Hong Kong team suggested a booster dose of the Pfizer vaccine for Sinovac immunisation patients.

WHAT CAN WE DO TO PROTECT OURSELVES 

Imperial College’s extensive review of UK data reveals a 40-45 percent reduction in hospitalisation risk compared to the Delta variation. This research implies that Omicron is less harmful, but keep in mind that it can still send many people to the hospital because it is so much more infectious.
The most important thing we can do is reduce our risk of infection. Take the following precautions to guarantee the safety of you and your loved ones:
  • Wear a mask that covers your mouth and nose; medical-grade 3-ply masks or KF94 masks provide the best protection.
  • Clean, sanitise, and disinfect your houses regularly
  • Keep at least a one-metre physical distance between yourself and others.
  • Improve the ventilation in your office or any other enclosed location.
  • If you are outside, wash your hands frequently and bring hand sanitisers with you.
  • Unless required, limit your travel and restrict your interaction time with people.
  • Get immunised and get your booster shot when it’s your turn. COVID-19 vaccines are both effective and safe.

Reasons Why Your Rapid Antigen Test May Show False Result

by admin

Rapid antigen test kits have proven to be an effective and easy method of detecting the COVID-19 virus. You do not even need to go to the clinic to perform the test; you can do it at home or wherever you feel most comfortable.

The Minister of Health, Khairy Jamaluddin, announced that 62 Omicron variant cases had been detected so far, including a female from Sarawak with no recent travel history, implying a local transmission. The virus is said to be alarming, spreading faster than other variants. Due to the development of novel COVID-19 virus variants, before delta and now omicron, rapid antigen COVID-19 testing available in pharmacies, convenience stores, and online stores is in high demand.

Omicron variant

VARIOUS BRANDS OF RAPID ANTIGEN TEST KITS

Many MDA-approved rapid test kits are on the market, including LYHER® Antigen Test Kit, Salixium-COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Rapid Test, Gmate® COVID-19. These rapid antigen test kits can cost as low as RM 7.00 to RM 19.90.

These test kits are available in three different designs: nasal, saliva, and whistling. The first type necessitates the collection of a nasal specimen, whereas the second type necessitates the supply of a saliva specimen. The newly designed whistling rapid test kit has recently become a more popular test kit among children.

The results are not always accurate indications of COVID-19 infections, despite the test only taking up to 15 minutes. For a range of reasons, individuals may receive false-positive or false-negative outcomes.

REASONS FOR FALSE-POSITIVE OR FALSE-NEGATIVE RESULTS

FOOD COULD AFFECT THE ACCURACY OF RAPID ANTIGEN TEST KIT

Acidic food like coffee, soda, or juices can compromise the results of your rapid antigen test. If you are doing a throat swab or test kit that requires a saliva sample, avoid these food. You should avoid eating or drinking 30 minutes to 1 hour before the rapid antigen COVID-19 test. It is advisable not to take the test after brushing your teeth, as it may temporarily cleanse the virus out of your mouth and result in a false negative.

STORAGE CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURE 

It is crucial to remember that storage conditions are essential, and storing the test outside these conditions can affect its accuracy. Before utilising a specific test, make sure you completely understand the temperature and storage instructions.

TIMING YOU USE THE RAPID ANTIGEN TEST 

If you test yourself too early, regardless if you have COVID-19 or not, your test will come back negative. A person may test negative if there is not enough virus in the sample. This can happen in the first few days after contracting the infection. It is indeed possible that even if you have symptoms and a negative test, there was not enough virus present at the time.

INDIVIDUAL ERROR

Individual error is another major cause of a false result. We may not collect a good enough sample on the nasal swab or saliva test because we are not as trained as the healthcare professionals. Thus, reading the rapid antigen testing recommendations is critical.

There is currently insufficient data about the Omicron version. The Omicron variation stands out among COVID-19 variants due to its abnormally high number of mutations. It is critical to keep yourself and your family safe from contracting this virus at all times. It’s essential to get your symptoms checked out as soon as possible. Suppose your symptoms develop over time or the findings appear positive. In that case, the quickest way to find out is to use a rapid antigen test kit. It is easy and quick, and would save you a trip to the clinic.

Enviro Group is committed to assisting Malaysians in getting tested for the COVID-19 virus, and our latest offering, the Lyher COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Kit, is available at RM 10.00 per test kit. It is available in two methods, saliva collection or nasal swab to collect the specimen. It is easy to use and can produce results in as little as 15 minutes, with a sensitivity of 93.33 percent and a specificity of 100 percent.

Why Disinfection is Essential to Keep Your House Safe

by admin

When we think about our houses, we think about the places where we may rest, relax, and rejuvenate after a long day of working or running errands. To live comfortably, we need to keep our houses clean and free of germs and grime. Even if some of us are still working remotely and are not getting out as much, it could pose a problem if any of your family members need to leave the house.

When we return to our houses, we bring the filth and viruses that have adhered to our clothes or things. These microorganisms are responsible for more than only COVID-19 infection; they also transmit other viruses and bacteria that can lead to diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome and tuberculosis.

Disinfection in Malaysia Office

CLEANING VS DISINFECTING

Cleaning is simply the removal of dirt, dust, crumbs, and germs from surfaces or things. You will most likely use soap and water to clean surfaces and products physically. The viruses may or may not still clung to the surfaces. There is also the risk of cross-contamination. The detergent and the cleaning wipes could be spreading diseases when you wipe from one surface to the other. This procedure is insufficient to assure that your house is free of dangerous particles.

While disinfection does not remove dirt, dust, or crumbs from surfaces, it kills bacteria and viruses effectively. Disinfecting is the process of eliminating germs and viruses using chemicals. Tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles, workstations, mobile phones, tablets, remotes, toilets, sinks, and kitchen counters should be cleaned and disinfected regularly because people frequently handle them.

REASONS TO DISINFECT YOUR HOUSE

HELPS MAINTAIN HYGIENE

Disinfection is the solution because germs and viruses can go undetected to our naked eyes. Disinfectants contain potent chemicals that can kill every virus, pathogen, or bacteria found on any surface. When your surroundings are constantly sterile, it is impossible to maintain poor hygiene, making it possible to maintain a high level of hygiene.

DISINFECTION MINIMISES THE RISK OF COVID-19 SPREAD

With COVID-19 on the rise, it’s critical to maintain your environment virus-free. You can try to clean your house and business after a new individual enters, but you never know who is infected. You may have a family member infected with a virus but is unaware of it. Regular disinfection reduces the possibility of contamination.

Disinfection in Malaysia

DISINFECTION PROCESS COVERS A WIDER AREA

The virus could also land on multiple surfaces and survive for several days, making it more challenging to clean it with soaps or detergents. The disinfectant sprayer disinfects surfaces that are more difficult to reach than others, such as corners of living rooms, behind the cabinets, or upper-level cupboards.

BACTERIA, VIRUSES, AND GERMS CAN STAY ON SURFACE

Bacteria, viruses, and germs are seen in studies to linger on surfaces for hours, days, or even months after being cleaned. If we do not take preventative disinfection measures, the accumulation of bacteria may lead to more severe safety effects.

DISINFECTION PREVENTS ILLNESSES AND KEEPS YOUR FAMILY SAFE

Humans have a habit of touching their faces after touching a surface. Since disinfecting kills viruses and bacteria on frequently touched surfaces, it mandates a healthier way of life. Diseases spread slowly or not at all as a result. You and your family will be able to live a healthier, disease-free life.

SOME DISINFECTANTS CAN LAST FOR DAYS ON SURFACES

If you use the proper disinfectants, you not only remove any virus on your surfaces, but you can also kill the virus as it comes into contact with these surfaces. These disinfectants protect and can be effective for up to 90 days after application.

Disinfection in Malaysia Company

The bottom line is, while cleaning is vital to guarantee that our house is free of clutter to make it easier for us to rest and unwind after a day of work, we must also go the extra mile to ensure that it is free of germs, bacteria, and viruses. Disinfecting our houses is proven to bring many benefits to us. We can live a much healthier life when our houses are clean and free from viruses, germs, and bacteria.

Air Purifiers and the Benefits for Children

by admin

Air purifiers are  great investment for any family nowadays. Why? The air we breathe today is not the same as it was. There were fewer structures and automobiles releasing harmful gaseous pollutants. When harmful and invisible particles are present in the air we breathe, we have air pollution. It can lead to various health problems, including itchy eyes, breathing difficulties, asthma-like symptoms, and, in the long run, pulmonary and heart disease. While these are the expected effects of air pollution, the consequences for children are far more serious.

HEALTH RISKS OF AIR POLLUTION 

Air pollution harms children more than adults because they breathe more rapidly, absorbing more pollutants. These air pollutants will impede their growth and development because their bodies and brains are still developing. According to Dr. Maria Neira, Director of the World Health Organisation’s Department of Public Health, Environmental, and Social Determinants of Health, air pollution is hampering our children’s brains and impacting their well-being in much more ways than we realise. While we cannot control the quality of the air outside, parents are becoming aware of the importance of providing clean indoor air to their children to avoid these health hazards.
Asian Children Breath Clean Air

BENEFITS OF AIR PURIFIERS

It is important to provide clean air for the development of your children. You can significantly improve your children’s quality of life by paying closer attention to the air they breathe—installing an air purifier is one of the best ways to improve the quality of air in your home. Air purifiers have a number of advantages that will benefit both adults and children.

1- AIR PURIFIERS PREVENT ILLNESSES THROUGH AIRBORNE TRANSMISSION

High-level pollutants, such as fine dust particles, debris, pet dander, and even viruses, exist in the air we breathe. Fine particles in polluted air can enter our lungs and cardiovascular systems. It can then cause high-risk conditions such as heart disease and pneumonia. Air purifiers will absorb all of these fine particles and release clean air, assuring the prevention of illnesses spread through airborne transmission.

2- AIR PURIFIERS ENHANCE SLEEP QUALITY

Children require more sleep than adults in order to improve their growth, cognitive function, and overall health. As a result, they spend the majority of their time in their rooms, surrounded by dust mites, bacteria, and viruses, as well as outside particle pollution that enters through windows and ventilation systems. Air purifiers in children’s bedrooms encourage better sleep, which leads to better growth and well-being.

3- REDUCES THE RISK OF ASTHMA

PM2.5 pollution is made up of particles smaller than 2.5 microns in diameter. Because of their small size, the particles are easily inhaled and can penetrate deep into the airways, triggering or inflaming respiratory symptoms. HEPA filters in air purifiers can capture particles as small as 0.3 microns before releasing clean air, reducing the risk of asthma in children.

4- IMPROVES THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN

Children’s bodies are still developing, and they are far more prone to diseases than adults. Air pollution can impact children’s development while still in the wombs. Pollutants in the air could stunt their progress. You may prevent these stumbling blocks by installing air purifiers in your home, allowing your children to grow in a healthy environment.

In recent years, there have been more constructions on the left and right, cities full of vehicles on the roads, and the emission of poisonous gaseous by factories, all of which contribute to the severe health risks that these factors pose to children. Parents are becoming more conscious of the significance of providing clean and purified air in their homes. Clean air is essential in the development and well-being of their children. Long-term exposure to polluted air can interfere with these developmental processes, causing these children to suffer in the long run.
 

The Effects Of Air Quality On Office Employees

by admin

The air quality within structures is called indoor air quality (IAQ). The quality of indoor air is significantly poorer than outdoor air quality. Indoor air pollution arises when fresh air circulation is limited and hazardous substances are present throughout the indoor space. Many factors could lead to the dropping of air quality, such as tobacco smoke, dust, mould, and mildew. Employers must ensure the safety and cleanliness of the air their employees inhale as more sectors resume entire operations following the endemic phase of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Employees spend hours inhaling the same air cycle at their desks each day. As a result, businesses must ensure optimal indoor air quality and ventilation. Indoor air pollution aggravates or causes a wide range of health issues among office workers, including itching eyes, headaches, nausea, flu-like symptoms, breathing difficulties, and asthma-like symptoms.

Many occupational health accidents are due to indoor air pollution; hence it is vital to keep the air inside your commercial facility clean and safe. More employees are adopting various ways to improve the air quality within their commercial buildings with the instalment of proper ventilation, the usage of air filtration systems, and indoor air quality assessments now and then. The air quality in an office can significantly impact employees’ cognitive function, such as response times, focus capacity, and productivity.

A new study conducted by the Harvard T.H Chan School of Public Health on participants in offices from various industries such as engineering, real estate investing, and architecture on the effects of increased concentrations of delicate particulate matter (PM) 2. 5 and lower carbon dioxide (CO2) ventilation rates led to impaired cognitive function, such as slower response times and lower accuracy on a series of cognitive tests.

The study included approximately 300 people ranging in age from 18 to 65 who worked in the same office buildings for at least three days each week in China, India, Mexico, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Each workstation received 2. 5 PM concentrations, CO2, temperature, and relative humidity. The participants administered their performance using cognitive tests and surveys in a specifically designed application. Participants in the study had to complete tests and questionnaires at set times or when environmental sensors detected PM2.5 and CO2 levels lower or higher than predetermined limits.

The first test required employees to identify the color of the presented text; the purpose of this test was to examine cognitive speed and ability to focus on crucial information while being exposed to irrelevant stimuli. The second test was a series of simple arithmetic questions to assess cognitive speed and working memory. As the amounts of PM 2.5 and CO2 in the atmosphere grew, so did the response times and accuracy of the first colour-based test. Only an increase in CO2 was linked to slower arithmetic-based response times but increased concentration in both influenced individuals to complete fewer questions correctly within the timeframe permitted.

Employers can improve air quality within their office buildings by conducting indoor air quality assessments, installing air purifiers, and inspecting and removing pollutants. Enviro Group urges enterprises to ensure the cleanliness and safety of their employees’ air circulation. Read on to know about some of the initiatives employees may take to enhance the indoor air quality of their workplace.

INDOOR AIR QUALITY ASSESSMENT

The purpose of an indoor air quality evaluation is to identify issues about the quality of air in your facilities and establish long-term solutions to these concerns. Monitoring the indoor air quality in a building or enclosed space can be the most effective strategy to address health issues caused by poor indoor air quality. At Enviro, the processes of indoor air quality assessments are as follows:

HEALTHWAY AIR PURIFIERS

An air purifier is a device that filters and eliminates contaminants from space to improve indoor air quality. It improves interior air quality by filtering out odours, smoke, dust, furniture cleaning, and pet dander and releasing purified air.

Enviroverks (M) Sdn. Bhd. carries only the best air purifiers. One of the most important elements to examine is whether the air purifier employs a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, the standard recommended by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the American Lung Association. Furthermore, Healthway air purifiers use Disinfection Filtration System (DFS) Technology, which is 40 times more effective than HEPA technology.

While HEPA filtration technology is the standard set for an air filtration system that captures 99.97% efficient at 0.3 microns, DFS Technology captures 99.99 percent of all particles as small as 0.007 microns. In addition to removing odour, pet dander, and smoke, this DFS Technology can eliminate viruses in the air; something HEPA filter cannot do.

MOULD REMOVAL SERVICE

Mould spores can be found practically anywhere and can infiltrate a private residence with a susceptible atmosphere, such as warm, damp, and humid circumstances. Mould can spread throughout a property in 48 hours, introducing allergens and irritants that might harm one’s health. Accessing the facility to discover the likely root causes of the mould infestation is part of our mould decontamination and restoration process. Following this, a thorough remediation process is done to eradicate and return the environment to its before condition.

AIR DUCT CLEANING SERVICE

Air ducts are significant elements that interact in a building to produce indoor environmental conditions. The maintenance of air ducts and air conditioning systems is sometimes overlooked, resulting in various concerns such as contamination of collected debris, jeopardised assets owing to contamination build-up, and deterioration of duct insulation.

Enviroverks (M) Sdn. Bhd. is one of the few companies in Malaysia having a NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) certification, which ensures that systems are cleaned professionally. We scour the entire air duct system by the American standard ACR 2006.

The COVID-19 outbreak has prompted people to focus more on developing new measures for limiting the spread of the virus and other infectious diseases, such as providing sufficient ventilation, filtration systems, and maintaining indoor air quality. We at Enviro Group are committed to helping businesses to improve indoor air quality in office buildings. Providing fresh indoor air creates a healthier working environment, allowing your employees to perform better and become more productive. The healthier the indoor air quality and atmosphere of the workplace space, the more engaged and productive employees will be.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Here Are 7 Reasons Why You Need a Cordless Disinfectant Sprayer

by admin
Disinfection services have been in the market long before the COVID-19 pandemic, but their use has increased since then, as more people are becoming more aware that keeping your place safe from this virus requires more than just traditional cleaning. Traditional cleaning methods are inadequate for dealing with this scenario.

Endemic Phase of COVID-19

In conjunction with the government declaring that Malaysia is moving into an endemic phase of COVID-19, premises have to take additional measures to protect their safety and patrons, such as disinfecting their premises, putting extra effort to ensure their premises are not just clean but also safe from COVID-19 virus and other infectious diseases.
Restaurants are reopening after a long period of just offering takeout and delivery. Students must attend physical sessions rather than online learning, and gymnasiums are available for clients who want to be healthier. Every location is currently open for business! Disinfecting these areas is vital to ensuring everyone’s safety. We couldn’t, for example, seek disinfection services after every customer in a cafe or after every lesson in a school. What is the best method to handle this? Cordless Disinfectant Sprayer!
Cordless Disinfectant Sprayer
The cordless disinfectant sprayer is becoming more popular as businesses seize possibilities to assist society in reducing the spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19.

The Best Air Purifiers in Malaysia in 2022

by admin

During the COVID-19 outbreak, where we spent most of our time indoors, it is necessary to take extra precautions to ensure our environment is clean and protected from the airborne transmission of the COVID-19 virus. Even though our houses are the safest place to be during this outbreak, we can never be sure of the air quality we breathe in. Even the cleanest environment can contain invisible particles harmful to your health or exacerbate existing health issues. Air pollution contributes to various health effects, including itching eyes, headaches, nausea, flu-like symptoms, breathing difficulties, and asthma-like symptoms.

As concerns about improving indoor air quality grow, air purifiers come into play to help us achieve that aim. A device that filters and eliminates impurities from space to improve indoor air quality is known as an air purifier. It maintains indoor air quality by removing odours, smoking, dust, furniture polishing, and pet dander through filtration and releasing clean, purified air.

Well-Known Air Purifiers Among Malaysian

HealthWay, Honeywell, Coway, Xiaomi, Dyson, and Blue Air are just a few well-known air purifier brands among Malaysians. Each air purifier has its specifications and technical performance in filtering indoor air to make it the cleanest and safest for people. Each brand claims to produce the finest air purifiers for its customers; with so many options available, which brand has the best air purifier?

Before Purchasing an Air Purifier…

Before purchasing an air purifier for your household usage, we must consider several crucial factors. One of the most critical factors to consider is the filtration technology used by the air purifier, whether it uses a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, the standard recommended by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the American Lung Association. HEPA filters capture 99.97 percent of particles 0.3 microns or larger and nearly all particles smaller.  Air purifiers with HEPA filters minimise the number of allergens and asthma-inducing particles in the air, making it easier for those with allergies and asthma to manage their symptoms.

Activated Carbon Filters

We should also opt for air purifiers that include additional activated carbon filters, in addition to HEPA filters. These are the only filters that can eliminate chemicals, gases, odours, and scents from pets, cooking, smoking, paints, and cleaning supplies. If you live with a smoker or have pets, these filters can be beneficial as they offer cleaner air and make your household smell nicer. For optimal air purification, we need both filters. We should look for other factors before committing ourselves to air purifiers in our houses: the size, noise level, energy consumption, filter life, price, and ease of use. The table below shows comparisons between air purifiers and other brands.

DFS Vs. HEPA

Based on the table above, one of the criteria HealthWay products have over other air purifiers in the market is that HealthWay is the only brand that employs Disinfection Filtration System (DFS) Technology, which is 40 times more efficient than HEPA technology. While HEPA filtration technology is the standard set for an air filtration system that captures 99.97% efficient at 0.3 microns, DFS Technology captures 99.99 percent of all particles as small as 0.007 microns. In addition to removing odour, pet dander, and smoke, this DFS Technology is able to eliminate viruses in the air, something HEPA filter is not able to do, making HealthWay the most efficient air purification system on the market.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while air purifiers do not cure the symptoms we get from indoor air pollution, they help lessen those dangers and improve our lives. Step one in enhancing indoor air is selecting the best air purifier for your house. When choosing an air purifier, we need to look at the features and specifications before deciding which one is the best air purifier for our house. When buying an air purifier, the essential factors that we should consider are the filter types these air purifiers carry, the pollutants they can filter, size, ease of use, price, noise level, and energy consumption.

ENVIRO Group Asia supports Malaysia in moving into the endemic stage by launching A.I.O. (All-In-One) solution for businesses to ReLaunch

by admin
  • ENVIRO A.I.O. is a comprehensive and all-in-one solution that caters to businesses needs in managing Covid-19 related hygiene and environmental S.O.P.
  • The comprehensive solution covers the complete journey of pre-, during, and post- COVID-19 SOP requirements for peace of mind.
Kuala Lumpur, 7 October 2021 – ENVIRO Group Asia announced today that it had launched “ENVIRO A.I.O.” solutions. The ENVIRO A.I.O. solution, short for All-In-One, is an upgrade of the company’s signature 360-degree protection plan for commercial and industries. This launch came in time to support the endemic move announced by the Health Ministry and provide businesses with peace of mind.
As Malaysia prepares to transition from the Covid-19 pandemic to an endemic phase, the Health Ministry wants to ensure the reopening of sectors is done carefully. Health Minister YB Khairy Jamaluddin said that in the next two months, Malaysians would adjust to the “living with the virus” mindset that the government is advocating.

The Health Ministry targets to move Malaysia into the endemic phase by the end of October. This means that more sectors will open up completely. However, he has reservations on opening all sectors as “there are factors such as ventilation of venues to consider first”.
Nitesh Malani, Group Chief Executive Officer of Enviro Group Asia, believes the task ahead is to equip all businesses with comprehensive solutions that enable enterprises to relaunch quickly and safely with compliance to all stipulated S.O.P. by the Ministry of Health Malaysia.

Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS)

by admin

Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is the mixture of smoke that comes from the burning end of a cigarette, pipe, or cigar, and smoke exhaled by the smoker. It is a complex mixture of over 4,000 compounds, more than 40 of which are known to cause cancer in humans or animals and many of which are strong irritants. ETS is often referred to as “second-hand smoke” and exposure to ETS is often called “passive smoking.”

 

Health Effects of Environmental Tobacco Smoke

In 1992, EPA completed a major assessment of the respiratory health risks of ETS (Respiratory Health Effects of Passive Smoking: Lung Cancer and Other Disorders EPA/600/6-90/006F). The report concludes that exposure to ETS is responsible for approximately 3,000 lung cancer deaths each year in non-smoking adults and impairs the respiratory health of hundreds of thousands of children.

Infants and young children whose parents smoke in their presence are at increased risk of lower respiratory tract infections (pneumonia and bronchitis) and are more likely to have symptoms of respiratory irritation like cough, excess phlegm, and wheeze. EPA estimates that passive smoking annually causes between 150,000 and 300,000 lower respiratory tract infections in infants and children under 18 months of age, resulting in between 7,500 and 15,000 hospitalizations each year. These children may also have a build-up of fluid in the middle ear, which can lead to ear infections. Older children who have been exposed to second-hand smoke may have slightly reduced lung function.

Asthmatic children are especially at risk. EPA estimates that exposure to second-hand smoke increases the number of episodes and severity of symptoms in hundreds of thousands of asthmatic children, and may cause thousands of non-asthmatic children to develop the disease each year. It was estimated between 200,000 and 1,000,000 asthmatic children have their condition made worse by exposure to second-hand smoke each year. Exposure to second-hand smoke causes eye, nose, and throat irritation. It may affect the cardiovascular system and some studies have linked exposure to second-hand smoke with the onset of chest pain.

Reducing Exposure to Environmental Tobacco Smoke

Don’t smoke at home or permit others to do so. Ask smokers to smoke outdoors.

The 1986 Surgeon General’s report concluded that physical separation of smokers and non-smokers in a common air space, such as different rooms within the same house, may reduce – but will not eliminate – non-smokers’ exposure to environmental tobacco smoke.

If smoking indoors cannot be avoided, increase ventilation in the area where smoking takes place.

Open windows or use exhaust fans. Ventilation, a common method of reducing exposure to indoor air pollutants, also will reduce but not eliminate exposure to environmental tobacco smoke. Because smoking produces such large amounts of pollutants, natural or mechanical ventilation techniques do not remove them from the air in your home as quickly as they build up. In addition, the large increases in ventilation it takes to significantly reduce exposure to environmental tobacco smoke can also increase energy costs substantially. Consequently, the most effective way to reduce exposure to environmental tobacco smoke in the home is to eliminate smoking there.

Do not smoke if children are present, particularly infants and toddlers.

 Children are particularly susceptible to the effects of passive smoking. Do not allow baby-sitters or others who work in your home to smoke indoors. Discourage others from smoking around children. Find out about the smoking policies of the day care centre providers, schools, and other caregivers for your children. The policy should protect children from exposure to ETS.
