Breathing space in the polluted outdoor air of the Netherlands
Inside AerosFair: A Breath of Fresh Air Amidst the Polluted Outdoor Air of the Netherlands
The Netherlands breathes — but what if the air we breathe actually harms us? The interactive investigation by Pointer reveals a worrying reality: in many parts of the country, such as the western side of Rotterdam, Schiedam, and other major cities, concentrations of harmful particles are often twice as high as the safe limits set by the WHO. According to the GGD (Public Health Service), this polluted air contributes to Dutch people living on average ten months shorter and is associated with high health costs and increased risks of asthma, lung cancer, and cardiovascular diseases.
The Polluting Reality Outside
Pointer’s data shows that outdoor air in many parts of the Netherlands is polluted. Factors such as heavy traffic, heavy industry, shipping, and even wood burning in residential areas cause harmful substances like nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) to be present in high concentrations. This problem is clearly visible in large cities, not only damaging residents’ health but also leading to societal costs and increased risk of chronic diseases.
AerosFair: A Healthy Oasis Indoors
In contrast to the often polluted outdoor air, AerosFair offers a welcome, healthy breath of fresh air. Inside AerosFair, you experience an environment where advanced air purification technology is used to remove harmful particles. Thanks to innovative filtration systems and controlled ventilation, the air is continuously monitored and purified, so you only breathe the cleanest and healthiest air indoors.
This means that while outside you are exposed to concentrations that far exceed WHO limits, the indoor air with AerosFair meets the highest health standards. For those who spend a lot of time indoors — whether working, studying, or relaxing — the difference is remarkable: fewer health complaints, increased well-being, and an overall healthier living environment.
Outside vs. Inside: The Health Difference
The contrasts are striking. Outside, air quality in urban areas can be so poor that the risk of serious health problems increases exponentially. Inside AerosFair, however, air pollutants are drastically reduced. This allows you to enjoy an environment where your breathing is not the direct cause of health issues but rather contributes to your overall vitality.
