Spring time is high season for pollens - micronAir cabin air filters provide protection
Hopkinsville, KY, Apr 7, 2010
Spring time is high season for pollens. An effectively functioning automotive cabin air filter is vital – not least for allergy-sufferers. For allergy-sufferers, in particular, the accident risk for drivers can be up to 30 percent higher. If a driver gets a sneezing attack driving at 50 miles an hour, he’ll be flying blind for about 25 meters. Sneezing, streaming eyes and other symptoms led to concentration lapses, with a concomitantly increased accident risk – both for the drivers themselves and for other road-users.
Moreover: the concentration of particles and pollens is up to six times as high inside the car as outside it. Automotive cabin air filters provide efficacious protection for this. But cabin air filters can be fully effective only if they are replaced at regular intervals – about once a year. The filter has to handle between ten and 150 liters of inflowing air every second. The particles deposited in the fibers will impede the air flow as time goes by. This means a smoothly functioning filter is also essential for an intact ventilation, heating and air-conditioning system.
