What is AntiVOC Filter In An Air Conditioner?
In simple terms, VOC is the abbreviated form of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). These compounds become vapors owing to their high vapor pressure at room temperature. Major sources of VOC are natural gas, gasoline, coal, and wood. The remains of paints, solvents, and glues also act as a catalyst in increasing the concentration of VOCs. Most of the VOCs are dangerous for normal people and highly dangerous for the people with breathing problems like Asthma. Few of them can also have adverse effects on the nervous system, liver, and kidney. To tackle this problem, companies introduced the concept of AntiVOC filters in air conditioners.
AntiVOC filters are basically used to remove these hazardous elements from the air you breathe and in which you sleep. Brands like Carrier offer antiVOC filters in their air conditioners range in India. On the other hand, ACs by BlueStar work on the cold plasma technology that generates a natural bioclimate in the air conditioner. No doubt antiVOC filter has emerged as one of the most important features in the recent years. This has happened due to the increase in the level of air pollution all over the globe.
