PROBLEM FINE DUST<\/h1><\/div>

We bring nature back to the city<\/h3><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Air pollution is one of the biggest urban environmental problems and has serious implications for human health. According to the World Health Organization, over 91% of people in cities breathe polluted air with levels above recommended limits\u00b9. Polluted air, and especially the fine dust it contains, attacks all human organs, leading to everything from heart and lung problems to dementia, cancer and skin diseases. According to the European Environment Agency, 253,000 people die prematurely each year in Europe as a result of polluted air\u00b2, and more than 8 million\u00b3 worldwide.<\/p>\n

At Green City Solutions, we want to tackle this environmental problem head-on and make a positive contribution to sustainable, healthy urban development.<\/p>\n

With this goal in mind, we have developed the world’s first regenerative Bio-tech filter to quantifiably improve the air quality.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

What is<\/span> air pollution?<\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span> <\/span><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

Air pollution can be caused by solid particles such as soot or gases like nitrogen dioxide.\u00a0In the city, particulate matter makes up a large part of air pollution. It consists of a complex mixture of tiny particles.\u00a0The nasty thing about it is that you can usually neither see nor smell it.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Health impact<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Depending on the particle size, fine dust penetrates the body to different depths. Regular exposure to fine dust causes the tiny particles to accumulate in the body over the years and can trigger a range of diseases. The most common health consequences include lung and cardiovascular diseases.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
