Clean air is of vital importance The air that we breathe has a crucial effect on our health and well-being. Since we spend on average more than 90% of our time indoors1), the air quality inside is of utmost importance. The presence and size of particulate matter (PM) or fine dust is a determining factor in air quality and is directly linked to potential health problems2). Once inhaled, these particles can contribute to the spread of microbial contaminants, such as mould, pollen and allergenes3). In addition, they can affect the heart and lungs and cause serious physiological problems (e.g....

PM 2.5 <2.5 µm in diameter Human Hair 70 µm average diameter 90 µm in diameter Fine Beach Sand Particulate matter, also known as particle pollution or PM, is a mixture of extremely small particles. The size of particles is directly linked to their potential for causing health problems. The smaller these particles are, the more hazardous they are to your health. Particulate matter can be grouped into two categories: Inhalable particles, with an aerodynamic diameter of up to 10 μm (all smaller particles are included). Particles of this size cause health problems, because PM10 these are the...

How particulate matter enters your body Particulate matter enters our respiratory (lung) system through the nose and throat. The larger particulate matter is eliminated through coughing, sneezing and swallowing. Smaller particulate matter can penetrate deep into the lungs. It can travel all the way to the alveoli, causing lung and heart problems and delivering harmful chemicals to the blood system.

DESSO AirMaster® According to a study performed by the German Allergy and Asthma Association (DAAB)5), it is proven that the burden from fine dust is dramatically reduced when using carpet, as opposed to hard flooring. With the introduction of DESSO AirMaster® this functionality is taken to the next level. Its patented6) technology has been specially developed to capture and retain hazardous particulate matter. In fact, DESSO AirMaster® is 8 times more effective in capturing and retaining fine dust than hard flooring and 4 times more effective than standard carpet solutions (PM10)7), making...

DESSO AirMaster® Capturing fine dust 8) using patented technology The Desso engineered product is able to capture fine dust, without the use of chemical additives. It is the carpet’s structure that delivers a mechanical solution, making this functionality permanent and without side effects. The high pile consists of ultra fine yarn filaments (DESSO AirFiltersTM), capturing and retaining the smallest particulate matter (< 10 μm). The coarser dust is captured in the thicker yarns of the lower pile (DESSO DustCollectorsTM). The open product structure ensures that dust is easily released during...

DESSO AirMaster® Proven effectiveness in clearing the air To prove the superior filter function of DESSO AirMaster® tests are performed in the laboratory of the independent German test institute GUI, which specializes in the analysis of indoor and outdoor air quality. During the tests a specific amount of fine dust is blown into a room simulation with a certain flooring solution (hard floor, standard carpet or DESSO AirMaster®). The room simulation is then left to allow the fine dust to settle on the floor. After a certain period of time the air in the room is circulated again, which...
