Invisible Risk: How Clean Air Protects What Matters Most

We breathe 20,000 times a day.But in cities like Pristina, every breath may come with a cost. Air pollution – especially fine particles (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) – is quietly harming health, with long-term effects on the lungs, heart, and brain.

For vulnerable groups like children, the elderly, and people with chronic illnesses, this invisible threat is even more dangerous. And it doesn’t stop at the door – indoor air is often more polluted than the air outside.

So the real question is:How can we protect the spaces where we live, sleep, and recover?

The Problem: Dirty Air, Serious Health Risks

In Pristina, PM2.5 levels average nearly 50 µg/m³ – ten times higher than the World Health Organization’s recommended limit.The effects are well documented:

• Increased risk of asthma, lung infections, and COPD

• Higher rates of stroke and heart attacks

• Long-term exposure linked to lung cancer and reduced life expectancy

• Acute symptoms include headaches, fatigue, throat irritation, and dizziness

A 2010–2012 study in Pristina found direct correlations between PM2.5 spikes and hospital admissions for heart disease, especially during colder months when coal use and traffic emissions peak.

Inside Out: Why Indoor Air Quality Matters More Than Ever

Many believe staying indoors offers protection – but studies show that indoor air can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air.Sources include:

• Cooking with wood or coal

• Household cleaning products

• Dust, pet dander, and mold

• Poor ventilation in sealed spaces

This means vulnerable groups are exposed around the clock – especially in winter, when windows stay closed and pollutants accumulate.

Who Is Most at Risk?

• Children: Polluted air affects lung development and increases asthma risk

• Elderly: Worsening cardiovascular and respiratory conditions

• Chronic illness: Asthma and COPD patients face more frequent and severe flare-ups

Air pollution is now the second leading risk factor for death in children under 5 worldwide, according to UNICEF and the State of Global Air 2024 report.

The Solution: Filtered Air. Measurable Benefits.

The science is clear: clean air improves health.Studies show that indoor air filtration – particularly using HEPA filters – can:

• Improve asthma symptoms within two weeks

• Support heart function in older adults

• Reduce the spread of airborne viruses

• Lower hospitalizations in vulnerable populations

That’s why every system we offer at G Kraft Air combines continuous filtration with controlled, energy-efficient airflow. Our units remove up to 99.97% of fine particles (PM2.5) – quietly, automatically, and without opening a window.
