Outdoor air purifiers against air pollution: Filters for best outdoor air quality

Increasing air pollution levels have been a global challenge for decades. With ongoing population growth, urbanization and industrialization increasing, this trend seems to be irreversible. According to the World Health Organization (Ambient air pollution) 91% of the world´s population live in places where air pollution levels exceed WHO guidelines.

What is outdoor air pollution and how does it occur? Why is it important to improve air quality and how? Whether in dense cities, along high-traffic roads or in industrial areas, air pollution worldwide is caused by pollutants and gases like fine dust, nitrogen oxides or ozone. Air pollution has serious consequences on people's health and accelerates climate change.

• The Filter Cube technology is our innovative outdoor air purification system, perfectly designed to improve the air quality in urban areas. These outdoor air purifiers are stylish, modern and highly effective. The Filter Cubes capture fine dust as well as nitrogen dioxides and other pollutants and gases for better air quality values.
• Filter Squares are used as air filters wherever space is limited, such as in subway stations or in shopping malls and food courts. These are ideal for reducing air pollution in semi-open areas, and combine impressive power with a modern, understated design.
• The Filter Grid technology fits seamlessly into existing infrastructures like interactive billboards or bus stop shelters where it unobtrusively provides effective pollutant filtration.

The negative impact of air pollution and pollutants in the outdoor air such as particulate matter and harmful gases on health and climate change are immense. This poses enormous challenges around the globe. We need quick solutions to improve air quality and the overall outdoor environmental quality.

Millions of people worldwide suffer from symptoms of poor outdoor air quality like respiratory diseases - partly because bad outdoor air has a massive impact on the air quality in rooms.

In addition to negative effects on health, a bad air quality index often means a restriction of mobility and transportation – which can have an enormous negative impact on the economy. With MANN+HUMMEL, you can improve the air quality in outdoor areas and avoid restrictive measures such as driving bans for goods.

Good to know: MANN+HUMMEL does not only ensure better air quality thanks to high efficient outdoor air filters. We also provide effective solutions to improve indoor air quality or filter viruses for healthy air, especially during a pandemic.
