For the World Health Organization 2009 is the “year of breathing”. Respiratory diseases are becoming increasingly common due to smog, and this is why the WHO awareness campaign has been organised.
In spite of the rain and the snow that we have seen so much of over recent months and that apparently clean the air, this year too towns and cities will have to deal with atmospheric pollution and infamous airborne particles.

 

It would seem that the media has almost forgotten about smog, and yet air quality is not a subject that has gone away. Fine particles, who maximum permitted average value is 50mg/m³, regularly exceed those limits, with peaks of even over 100 mg/m³. However the levels of a whole range of pollutants are high, including nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide.

Last winter, which was particularly long and harsh, helped make some illnesses affecting the throat even more common.

 

Inhalation therapy is one of the most effective tools to cure infectious diseases (bacterial and viral sinusitis, rhinitis, and bronchitis) and diseases that cause difficulty in breathing (asthma, chronic obstructive bronchitis, etc.) because it combines many advantages: it uses low doses of medicine that acts locally, it has fewer side effects than other methods of administration and it can reach the extremities of the lower airways more easily.

 

Pic Solution offers a series of devices for all types of inhalation therapy.

 

Completing the range of offers are the chambers that maximise breathable air flow and reduce therapy times, the micronized irrigation device and the saline solutions that effectively protect and keep the nasal cavities and the rhinopharynx hygienic.
