3 simple steps which leads to the right Air PurifierFirst we need to identify
the Pollutants/ problems and challenges in
Indoor Air
Make a well informed choice!!!
Now the most important step is to check the
methods of removal - effectiveness
Let us understand
how it harms us
“INDOOR AIR POLLUTION” – What are the causes?
PollenVirus
Fungus Mould
They are dust particles of size upto 2.5microns – 1/100th of human hair
The main sources of high PM2.5 in our Indoor Air are….
Whenever we come across a smell, we use room spray. It

of human hairThe main sources of
high PM2.5 in our Indoor Air are….
PM2.5 – the Invisible Killer
Question: All Air Purifier offer HEPA. Which is the right one? Answer: The two qualities that determine quality of a HEPA(a)Surface Area – the length, depth & height of HEPA, higher the better(b)Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) – measured in Cubic meter per hour, determines the amount of air cleaned per hour. Higher the better
Question: What is HEPA?Answer: High Efficiency Particle Arrestor (HEPA) can trap particles upto 0.3 microns or even smaller
Question: How about the life of HEPA?Answer: Generally it is 2 years, but also depends on…(a)High pollutants (cigarette, oily smoke, PM2.5 etc) reduces life of HEPA(b)It is recommended that HEPA may be exposed to bright sunlight for 4 hours, once in 2 months
CADR: Sharp FU-A80E = 480 m3/H Sharp FP-F40E = 240 m3/HSurface Area of HEPA: Check it yourself, Sharp’s is the highest

SMELL & TOXIC GAS – What is the right method?
Whenever we come across a smell, we use room spray. It
Toxic Gases/ SmellExample of Smell Cigarette, Toilet, Garbage, Paint or Kitchen Smell etcFound in Indoor mainly office, homes etc
Pattern Common Reaction by us
Other Air Purifiers
Sharp Plasmacluster Ion Air Purifiers
Behavior Use of Room Spray/ Perfumes
The Filters can trap the smell/ gas into it. So it actually remains inside and is not removed.
The best part of Plasmacluster Ion Technology is it creates the same level of Ions as in Nature, thereby creating Fresh Air and neutralizing all bad smelling substances from AIR & SURFACE.
Effect
The smell is actually not gone, the perfume actually adds more chemicals to the already polluted AIR and what we breathe is double the smell. Original (BAD) + Perfume (SMELLS GOOD - but after all it is nothing but Chemical VOC) Hence it actually harms us when we stay longer in such envoronments
The air which you breathe is re-circulated through the unit, hence it is not a very good method. Moreover the effectiveness of these kind of Purifiers varies if the doors/ windows are opened often
This demo helps in understanding that. This demo proves the following:(i) Plasmacluster is an ACTIVE purification method(ii) It neutralizes smell from AIR & SURFACE(iii) It converts the bad smelling substances to good/ harmless ones (example Toilet smell converted to Water, Paint smell converted to CO2 & Water etc)
“INFECTIONS” – How to check the right method?
PollenVirus
Fungus Mould
Lack of sunlight, NO/ LESS Ventilation &
Furniture create space that are favorable
breeding ground for these Infection
causing substances
Typically they are more on the surface
than air
Infection causing germs
(i) Is it effective on AIR & SURRFACE?(ii) Does it KILL or ABSORB?(iii) Is it ACTIVE or PASSIVE?(iv) Is the method NATURAL or ARTIFICIAL ?(v) How about Certifications?
Since it is Intangible, trust the certifications
How is Sharp Air Purifier better than competition?

Recycles same stale air
Only PASSIVE technology to pull the air through Filters – can only clean the air passing through Filters
Not possible as all other methods are artificial and inappropriate
Not possible to draw the air from the entire room into the filters
For any brand specific comparison – please contact SHARP Team
Sharp Air Purifier…The one and only mechanism to
1. Generate Forest Fresh Air
2. Kill Infection causing substances not only from AIR but also from SURFACE &
3. NEUTRALIZE smell
4. Remove Static Electricity

Four stages of Filtration – traps pollutantsPre ► Activated Carbon ► HEPA ► Multicare
1. The Filters can only clean the AIR that is passing through the unit – sophisticated Vacuum Cleaner
2. The contaminants trapped in the filters are NOT KILLED and they actually multiply within the filters. The odours trapped in the Carbon Filter can go back to the air. Most Microorganisms cannot be trapped even with HEPA. It means that the Air which passes through these Filters CANNOT BE CONSIDERED PURE
3. PASSIVE Method – no action on SURFACE contamination
4. Changes in Air Flow like opening of Window/ Door etc can cause ineffectiveness of the mechanism
5. Only partially effective closer to the Filters. Once the Filters start choking due to suspended dust, the EFFECTIVENESS DROPS DRASTICALLY WITH TIME.

Filtration & Flash Streamer Unit : Pre ► Bio Antibody Filter ► Flash Streamer
1. Photo Catalytic Technology is PASSIVE in nature, as it requires the air borne contaminants to be pulled in through the unit to be "treated". Overall, the effectiveness of this type of air purification is limited to the amount of new air it can bring into the unit. Changes in the air flow caused by movement, an open door or window etc. can cause in ineffectiveness of the mechanism. Photocatalytic technology may destroy select micro-organisms that pass by the set.
2. It means that the Air which passes through these Filters also CANNOT BE CONSIDERED PURE.
3. Only partially effective closer to the Filters. Once the Filters start choking due to suspended dust, the EFFECTIVENESS DROPS DRASTICALLY WITH TIME. NOT EFFECTIVE ON SURFACE CONTAMINATION

Filtration & Nanoe-G Technology :1. Nanoe-G can get rid some specific
spectrum of microorganisms. But it is an ARTIFICIAL method of Purification.
2. Nanoe-G is actually OH (Hydroxyl Ion) surrounded with water. An OH radical floating in the air may actually cause harm and is a concern for safety
3. For all other Pollutants like VOC, Toxins & Gases it is trapped in Filters. It means that the Air which passes through these Filters also CANNOT BE CONSIDERED PURE.
4. Changes in Air Flow like opening of Window/ Door etc can cause ineffectiveness of the mechanism
5. No action on Static Electricity which causes dust mites to stick to the curtains, cushions etc
6. NOT EFFECTIVE in removing Odours from across the room, since they must be drawn through the filter.
7. Recycles stale AIR

Reality1. The contaminants trapped (captured) in the filters are NOT KILLED and they actually
multiply within the filters. The danger is that they are still ALIVE and can still HARM you.
2. The odours trapped in the Carbon Filter can go back to the air. Most Micro-organisms cannot be trapped even with HEPA or HEPA Silent Technology. It means that the Air which passes through these Filters also CANNOT BE CONSIDERED PURE.
3. The technology is PASSIVE in nature, as it requires the air borne contaminants to be pulled in through the unit to be "treated". Overall, the effectiveness of this type of air purification is limited to the amount of new air it can bring into the unit. Changes in the air flow caused by movement, an open door or window etc. can cause in ineffectiveness of the mechanism.

Several stages of Filtration & UV (in some cases)
1. The contaminants trapped (captured) in the filters are NOT KILLED and they actually multiply within the filters. The danger is that they are still ALIVE and can still HARM you.
2. The odours, chemical fumes, gases trapped in the Filters can go back to the air. It means that the Air which passes through these Filters also CANNOT BE CONSIDERED PURE.
3. Ultra Violet Light is another method of purification. It is PASSIVE in nature. The effectiveness of this type of air purification is limited to the amount of new air it can bring into the unit. Changes in the air flow caused by movement, an open door or window etc. can cause in ineffectiveness of the mechanism. Ultraviolet (UV) lamps may destroy some micro-organisms that pass by the bulb, like bacteria, and fungi (such as mold).
4. Generation of Ozone is banned in some countries. It is harmful if it crosses the permissible limits
5. An air ionizer creates only Negative Ions, causing them to magnetically attract together. With negative ions, you do not inactivate any contaminants, but simply add weight to the particles so that they drop to the ground, THEY ARE NOT KILLED. The danger is that they are still ALIVE and HARM you. They can actually fall on any surface be it your food, table, furnishings etc.
