Bellaria hood, by Falmec, the pleasure of breathing pure air

Food, water and air are the three elements that enter our bodies and their quality is crucial for our health.  While we can defend ourselves from the first two, we cannot do the same with air,  which seems pure but may contain components harmful to humans, especially indoor air. Outdoor air conditions are often harmful and we erroneously think that the walls of a building protect us, convinced that the air is better indoors. The air in homes, offices, public places, schools and buildings in general, contains a number of pollutants harmful to human health.  In a recent study, the EPA, Environmental Protection Agency, estimated that the air quality in a home, where we spend most of our lives, is up to 5 times more polluted than the air we breathe in the centre of large cities.  The concentrations of pollutants in the air in indoor spaces include paint, flooring, furniture, heating and air conditioning, appliances, cleaning products etc. are from 1 to 5 times higher than those outside. The World Health Organization has stressed that it is a major environmental risk.  An invisible but real evil.

Falmec, sensitive to issues of health and well-being, has created Bellaria, a compact and efficient device, specifically dedicated to the problems of air pollution in work and living spaces, that can be integrated as an elegant piece of furniture with its discreet design and light.

Bellaria, featured at Eurocucina 2014, eliminates indoor air pollution by restoring air purity in closed residential and work spaces. Its technology consists of an integrated, advanced and miniaturised system, patented by Falmec, with a clean and simple design. Bellaria eliminates the polluting substances of biological origin such as micro organisms, bacteria, viruses, moulds, allergens, mites, smoke (including cigarette smoke) and odours, as well as those of chemical origin: oxides of carbon, nitrogen, sulphur, ozone, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds, solvents.

Today, we spend over 90% of our time in indoor spaces and the presence of these pollutants, although in limited doses, has significant negative effects on our health, especially on the most vulnerable segments of the population such as children and the elderly. Pollution in the domestic environment exposes us to risks of respiratory disease, asthma, irritations, infections, ear infections, sinus infections and disorders in various systems.
