Sharp Indonesia Collaborates With The Indonesian Medical Association To Promote The Importance Of Clean Air

Unfortunately, many people in Indonesia are still unaware of this, they still consider that indoor conditions will be safer from various dangerous pollution threats.

In fact, poor indoor air quality has more dangerous impacts than outdoor air pollution because most people spend around 90 percent of their time indoors.

There are many causes of indoor air pollution, one of which is poor air ventilation that causes dust, household combustion processes such as smoking, cooking, cleaning chemicals, animal dander, dust mites, mold, and pollen trapped indoors, causing indoor air pollution to have more deadly impacts. Poor air quality can cause health problems such as pneumonia, headaches, sore throats, shortness of breath, sneezing, eye irritation, stroke, and heart disease.

Pneumonia is an acute respiratory infection (ARI) that attacks the lungs and can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi in the air. Over the past few decades, there has been an increase in ARI cases globally and has become the leading cause of death in infants and toddlers.

Air pollution also has serious impacts on children, which can cause cognitive impairments that affect the brain development of children, such as difficulty concentrating leading to decreased learning ability and memory, suboptimal lung development, and growth disorders.

Backing this up, Sharp as a manufacturer of air purifiers equipped with Plasmacluster technology collaborates with the Indonesian Medical Association (IDI) to jointly promote the importance of creating healthy indoor air among the community. This is one of Sharp's commitments to contribute to maintaining the health and well-being of its loyal consumers worldwide through the products and technologies it creates.

Shinji Teraoka, President Director of PT Sharp Electronics Indonesia, said, "For over 20 years, Sharp has been developing Plasmacluster technology, and during that time, Sharp has continued to research to enhance the functionality of its air purifier products to provide extra protection in maintaining the health of its loyal consumers.

Through collaboration with the Indonesian Medical Association, we hope to contribute more to raising public awareness in creating healthy air in their homes."

"The slogan 'Create Healthy Air for Indonesia' is raised to increase public awareness of the importance of bringing clean, healthy, and fresh air quality into homes. This message is very much in line with the function of Sharp's air purifiers and Plasmacluster technology. All Sharp air purifier products are embedded with an ion generator that produces positively charged Plasmacluster ions (H + (H2O) m) and negatively charged ions (O2– (H2O) n) released into the air simultaneously.

Positive and negative ions instantly bind to bacteria, fungi, viruses, allergens, and the like in the air, then transform them into OH radicals (hydroxyl) with very high oxidative power.

Plasmacluster technology is a unique air purification technology that works to suppress the activity of bacteria, etc., by breaking down proteins on their surfaces through chemical reactions. Plasmacluster technology can eliminate odors, disable viruses, bacteria, and germs, as well as reduce the growth of mold and mildew.
