What Can Interior Air Pollution in Cars Cause?

Schools are opening soon. Do you think the air quality inside your vehicle or the school buses transporting your children is better than outside? If you think so, you're mistaken! Because the air inside cars becomes 9 to 12 times dirtier than outside. Experts say that poor indoor air quality in vehicles can harm children's lungs and learning ability. Abalıoğlu Holding's Hifyber has warned parents and drivers about the importance of nanofiber-structured filtration media used in vehicle cabin air filters for safe travel.

Do you think the air quality inside the school buses or your private vehicle transporting your children is sufficiently good?

According to research conducted in California, a child spends 10 percent of their day on a school bus; however, even though the time a child spends in the service vehicle is short, it increases their daily exposure to air pollutants by 33 percent.

Air inside vehicles is 12 times dirtier than outside

The air inside cars, which collects toxic gases from all surrounding vehicles, becomes 9 to 12 times dirtier than outside air. Experts say that poor indoor air quality in vehicles can harm children's lungs and learning ability. Hifyber General Manager Ahmet ÖZBECETEK, stating that "it is possible to ensure clean air circulation for drivers and passengers inside automobiles to travel safely," draws attention to the filtration media used in vehicle cabin air filters for safe travel: "Because emissions from the environment circulate in the car cabin, the pollution level in the indoor air of cars is high. For this reason, the air you breathe in your vehicle during travel consists of volatile organic compounds. Nowadays, fibrous air filters used in automobile cabin air filter housings, despite their various advantages, are insufficient in capturing ultra-fine dust particles. For this reason, the filtration media used in cabin air filters must be developed using nanotechnology to ensure clean air circulation in car cabins.

It captures more than 90 percent of harmful particles such as viruses, dust, and pollen.

To solve this problem, as Hifyber, we have developed "Nanofiber Cabin Air Filter Media" using nanotechnology. This product provides high filtration efficiency in cabin air filters and captures more than 90 percent of harmful particles such as viruses, dust, and pollen present in ambient air.

Protects the health of drivers and passengers

The nanofibers in the filtration media provide mechanical filtration by improving filter efficiency without a significant increase in filter pressure drop. This way, it can easily filter particles as thin as 0.05 microns. Furthermore, it rapidly neutralizes water droplets containing viruses and protects the health of drivers and passengers inside the vehicle," he explained.
