PRESS RELEASE
European road show for clean air and better filtration
Camfil Farr, the world leader in clean air technology, is now on a European road show to
raise awareness about the importance of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and demonstrate the
benefits of effective air filtration. In the coming months, a trailer equipped with advanced
equipment will be touring major European cities to track and compare live air quality data and
provide information about the harmful effects of air pollution, which directly affects air quality
indoors, where people spend about 90 percent of their lives.
“Air pollution and poor IAQ have become public health concerns and we want to raise
general awareness about their impact on human health, well-being, performance and
productivity,” says Erik Markman, Head of Communications for the Camfil Farr Group “At the
same time, knowledge about the importance of IAQ is limited. Our mobile exhibition is
designed to inform politicians, the public and the media about the importance of breathing
good quality air in the premises where we work and live.”
With test equipment, lab stations and film presentations, this unique exhibition-on-wheels
clearly shows the type of pollutants that “invisible” ambient air contains.
The mobile exhibition is also designed for industry professionals and experts, who are also
concerned today about the energy consumption of building ventilation systems, which can be
significantly decreased by choosing the right filtration solution. “When we talk about IAQ, we
also mean clean quality air supplied in an energy-efficient and sustainable way with our
filters,” comments Erik Markman.
Camfil Farr’s road show was launched at the ISH exhibition in Frankfurt (March 15-19) and is
now continuing to several cities in Europe. The entire tour schedule and mobile exhibition is
described at www.camfilfarr.com/roadshow.
