According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), fine particulate matter is in the same category as, for example, formaldehyde, benzene, naphthalene, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and carbon monoxide (CO).
The WHO regional office for Europe noticed in 2006 that fine particulate matter, together with carbon monoxide, is a very good indicator for complex air impurities caused by the combustion of solid fuels. Furthermore, the WHO requested that the targets for fine particulate matter PM10 and PM2.5 should also be valid for indoor spaces and be counted as harmful pollutants that should be included in the WHO air quality guidelines.
These guidelines should be applied to all rooms that are not explicitly subject to occupational safety – i.e. private living and ultimately also vehicles.
How does memon technology combat pollution from fine particulate matter?
memon reduces the amount of concentrated, fine and ultrafine particles in the breathable air of rooms.
This therefore limits the fine particulate dust in the breathable air and spares your lungs.
The memonizer helps re-establish the natural ion balance in the air, thus causing the fine particles to clump together. The individual particles thereby grow to form larger clusters, become heavier and sink more rapidly to the floor.
The memon fine particulate matter effect in three steps:
- memon enriches the air with positive and negative ions
- The small air particles form clumps owing to the different charges
- These clumps have a larger weight than the individual particles and therefore now sink more quickly to the floor
The result:
The quantity of fine particulate matter in breathable air is reduced. When breathing, considerable less fine particulate matter reaches the lungs.
Underestimated risk of illness:
Fine particulate matter
Fine particulate matter only becomes important to most people when the temperatures are rising outside and car usage is limited in urban areas, based on the colour of the car sticker.
It therefore follows that fine particulate matter represents a serious health pollution problem for people from the point of view of the authorities – at least in terms of outside air. But what about the air in closed rooms or in your car? Who bothers about that?
There are jobs in which pollution with fine particulate matter is so severe that there is a high risk of being unfit for work long before you reach pensionable age.
They include:
- Printing companies
- Bakeries
- Joinery companies
- Cement factories
- Hairdressers (in addition to pollution from chemicals)
- etc.
You can also protect yourself from fine particulate matter when you are inside – with memon:
- Unique functionality
- Can be used in mobile and stationary settings
- Functional and attractive design
- Easy installation
- No consumables
- Noiseless and maintenance-free
Good to know about fine particulate matter
What is dust, fine dust, ultrafine dust
What is dust, fine dust, ultrafine dust
Dust is also called particulate matter (PM).
Dust is measured by mass concentration (particle mass per volume of air) or number concentration (number of particles per volume of air). The total amount of dust in the air is divided into several dust fractions. The basis for the division is the size of the dust particles and their separation behaviour in the human respiratory system.
All particles smaller than 10 micrometres (µm = 1 thousandth of a millimetre) are known as PM10 or as “fine particulate matter”. This limit was chosen because all particles smaller than 10 micrometres are breathed in. Fine particulate matter consists of a rough fraction with particles from 2.5μm to 10μm, as well as a fine fraction of 2.5μm, also called PM2,5.
These pass through the nasopharyngeal cavity and the trachea and enter the bronchi. The fine fraction contains the “finest” 1μm (PM1)and the “ultrafine particles” 0.1μm (UFP). These particles penetrate into the pulmonary alveoli (and further!).
The smallest dust particles are difficult to filter or trap. That is where physics helps – namely, through the ionisation of breathable air.
This is very easy to explain: understandably, dust particles large than 10 micrometres sink more rapidly to the floor than those which are finer and lighter. It is these particles which are the most dangerous. Remaining airborne for a long time, they are continuously inhaled.
The memonizer adds more positive and negative ions into the air, causing the fine particles to clump together. The growing individual particles form larger clusters, become heavier and sink more rapidly to the floor.
What really are the dangers of fine particulate matter?
In recent years, a number of scientific studies have been published that prove the negative effects of fine particulate matter on health.
The total amount of dust is not important for health, as the overall amount of dust includes many large particles that are not inhaled into the lungs.
It is fine particulate matter, with its fine and ultrafine particles, that matters for our health.
This dust causes a lot of long-term [1] and short-term [2] damage to our health, such as tumours or cardiovascular complaints.
memon products were developed to protect you from harmful environmental influences and to create a harmonious indoor climate.
The memonizerCOMBI is easy to install and works by “renaturing” the indoor climate of a building.

The memon fine particulate matter effect always works. However, the strength of the effect is uniquely dependent on things such as room size, building materials, furnishings, environment, heating, activities, number of people in the room, etc.
