Healthier air
Our lungs provide oxygen and keep every other organ functioning by removing carbon dioxide from our body. Quality of the air we breathe, diseases and the environment can affect the health of our lungs and cause respiratory problems and seriously endanger our well-being.

Indoor vs outdoor air
Air pollution is a hot topic for human and environmental health these days, yet according to EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency), indoor air is on average 2-5 times (or in some cases up to 100 times) more polluted. By some estimates indoor air pollution inside a typical home is responsible for as much as 50% of all illnesses, which is of no surprise as we spend up to 90% of our time indoors and continously breathe indoor air. In fact, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers indoor air pollution the number one environmental health problem in the United States.

VOCs gases
VOC (volatile organic compounds) are harmful gases emitted by a wide range of chemicals and solid objects produced with those chemicals, cooking, smoking, etc. Let’s look closer at typical VOC sources at home.

Common examples of VOCs that may be present in our daily lives are: formaldehyde, benzene, ethylene glycol, methylene chloride, tetrachloroethylene, toluene, xylene and 1,3-butadiene.

Health effects of VOCs exposure
The risk of health effects from inhaling any chemical depends on how much is in the air, how long and how often a person breathes it in.
Breathing in low levels of VOCs for long periods of time may increase some people’s risk of health problems. Several studies suggest that exposure to VOCs may make symptoms worse for people with asthma or who are particularly sensitive to chemicals. These are much different exposures than occupational exposures.
It is important to remember that VOCs refer to a group of chemicals. Each chemical has its own toxicity and potential for causing different health effects.
Common symptoms of exposure to HIGH levels of VOCs include:

Common symptoms of exposure to HIGH levels of VOCs include:
Poor air quality can harm anyone regardless of age, but children are more susceptible to particle pollution than adults due to higher minute ventilation (higher intensity breathing) and higher levels of physical activity.

Disinfecting air
Sharing the same natural composition, Limix and Shikkui are both highly effective against a wide range of pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and mold as proven by third-party testing according to international ISO, JIS and ASTM standards.
As these pathogens, house dust, VOCs and bad smells travel through indoor air, they continuously come in contact with Limix and MILIME surfaces and become neutralized by them, which makes the indoor air cleaner and healthier, in addition to reduced humidity.
