Filtration for cleaner air: Solutions against air pollution
Because every individual has a right to breathe clean air
An average person can survive three weeks without food and three days without water. But without air, it's just three minutes. Air is life – and air pollution is one of the greatest threats of our time.
The consequences of poor air quality for the environment and the effects of air pollution on human health are massive. Fine dust pollution not only accelerates climate change, pollutants in the air can trigger or exacerbate allergies and respiratory diseases, and even cause organ damage and heart disease.

Cleaner air, cleaner planet: How we're making the world a better place
Clean air matters to us all. It’s vital when people are lying on the operating table. It protects production processes in cleanrooms in the pharmaceutical and food industries. But clean air should not be taken for granted: brake dust and tire abrasion can enter children's rooms and hospitals through the air. Airborne bacteria and viruses in the air collect in vehicle cabins, while industrial exhaust fumes waft over sports fields, and foul odors from landfills and drains make their way into homes and office buildings. Not to mention the impact of air pollution on health, industry and the environment.
At MANN+HUMMEL we make clean air a reality. Our air filtration solutions protect people, processes, machines and the environment from multiple global threats – for a planet worth living on.
