February 10th is International Epilepsy Day, dedicated to raising awareness and promoting support for individuals living with epilepsy. At Healthy Air Nigeria, we’re committed to empowering epilepsy care by highlighting the critical role of clean air in managing the condition.
Understanding Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, affecting over 50 million people worldwide. Seizures can be triggered by various factors, including genetics, head injuries, infections, and environmental factors such as poor air quality.
The Impact of Poor Air Quality on Epilepsy
Air pollution is a growing concern, and its impact on epilepsy patients is alarming. Exposure to poor air quality can trigger seizures, exacerbate symptoms, and reduce quality of life. Common air pollutants like:
- Carbon Monoxide (CO)
- Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)
- Particulate Matter (PM10)
- Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)
- Ozone (O3)
All these pollutants can irritate the brain, trigger inflammation, and disrupt neurotransmitter balance, making seizures more likely to occur. Also, a 2022 journal published in PubMed Central revealed a significant link between daily exposure to elevated Carbon Monoxide (CO) levels and increased risk of epileptic seizures. The study confirms that exposure to Carbon Monoxide (CO) may be a seizure risk factor, drawing attention to the need for further research on the impact of other air pollutants on people who are epileptic. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9543609/#epi17253-sec-0013
Cleaner Air for Epilepsy Management
Fortunately, there’s a solution. Healthy Air (HA) medical-grade D-orbital Nano Oxide (DNO) Catalyst air purifier is specifically designed to eradicate indoor air pollution, reducing the risks of epileptic seizures. This cutting-edge technology:
- Removes 99.99% of all indoor air pollutants including chemical and biological pollutants as small as 0.03 microns.
- Zero risk of secondary pollutants and eliminate contaminants that escape regular air filters, such as air conditioning filters.
- Provides clean, fresh, and oxygenated air, reducing seizure triggers
Take Control of Your Air Quality
This International Epilepsy Day, we are encouraged to take control of our indoor air quality. Install HA DNO air purifier in your home, office/ medical facility, and breathe easy knowing you’re reducing the risks of an epileptic seizure.
Join the Movement
Join the movement to improve Epilepsy Care by providing access to vital information for healthcare providers and the community, creating awareness that would help improve the quality of life for people living with epilepsy. Together, let’s build a cleaner, healthier environment for everyone.
