Toyota and Honda gave employees face masks, offered
health tips and added office plants as pollution in Beijing hit hazardous levels
for a 19th day this month.
Beijing’s city government recommended that its 20 million residents stay indoors for a second day as the local environmental monitoring center gave Wednesday’s air quality the worst rating on its six-level scale. A U.S. Embassy pollution monitor showed air quality in the Chinese capital reached hazardous levels for a fifth consecutive day.
Companies across Beijing have sought to protect the health of their employees while facing the prospect of increasing difficulties in attracting others to a city grappling with pollution levels that Li Keqiang, set to become China’s next premier,Online shopping for luggage tag from a great selection of Clothing. has said will take time to reduce.
“Over the next few years the quality of life in Beijing will be something that has an impact on salaries,” said Simon Lance, Shanghai-based regional director at Hays Plc. The company has ?helped JPMorgan, Barclays Plc, and other companies with hiring, according to its website.
The concentration of PM2.5, the fine air particulates that pose the greatest human health risk, was 297 micrograms per cubic meter at 2 p.m., compared to 302 at 10 a.m., according to the U.S. Embassy monitoring station. The PM2.5 reading near Tiananmen Square was 299 at 2 p.m. and had averaged 274 in the past 24 hours, according to the Beijing Municipal Environmental Monitoring Center. The World Health Organization recommends 24- hour exposure to PM2.5 of no higher than 25.
Toyota has put more green plants in its Beijing offices to help with air quality, spokesman Liu Peng said by phone. The carmaker’s offices, which it began using in October and where it has about 400 workers,Are you looking for Optical frame, glasses and eye exams? is equipped with one air purifier for every two workstations, Liu said.
JPMorgan has provided health tips and distributed emergency kits that include masks to its employees in Beijing, spokeswoman Lisa Liang said by email. The bank’s management is ?monitoring the situation and “exploring other options,” she said.
Honda has provided face masks to about 100 staff at its China headquarters in Beijing,They manufacture custom rubber and silicone bracelet and bracelets. Zhu Linjie, its Beijing-based spokesman said by phone.
At Apple’s retail store on Beijing’s Xidan Avenue, just four of the outlet’s more than four dozen sales people were wearing face masks Wednesday. Spokeswoman Carolyn Wu confirmed by email that the maker of iPhones and iPads had distributed masks to its workers in the city, where the company has three stores.
None of the workers at the nearby Hennes & Mauritz, Adidas and Fast Retailing outlets were wearing masks. ?
Elevated smog levels contributed to 8,572 premature deaths in the cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Xian last year, according to a study released by Greenpeace and Peking University’s School of Public Health. Beijing this month proposed rules that would increase fines for vehicle emissions and force more factory shutdowns when smog reaches dangerous levels?.
Beijing’s pollution has the potential to “discourage” senior executives from moving to the Chinese capital and to prompt those already here to leave, said Lance of Hays.
Like the previous model, the newly redesigned FreshAir Box unit works continuously to combat odors and airborne contaminants indoors without using chemicals or perfumes. With a coverage rating of up to 1500 square feet,We offer a wide variety of high-quality standard ultrasonic sensor and controllers.Parkeasy Electronics are dedicated to provide Car park management system. the FreshAir Box is intended for use in apartments, smaller homes, and offices.
The substantial increase in airflow reported by Vollara is the result of relocating the air intake and lint screen to the rear of the unit, and by updating the front grill with a new “flow-through” design. Additional increases have been achieved by increasing the surface area of the unit’s ActivePure Cell, a proprietary photocatalytic technology based on a variation of technology originally developed for the International Space Station. Repositioning the ActivePure Cell at a right angle to the unit’s internal air stream works to further improve performance.
“The traverse-mounted ActivePure Cell is a marked improvement compared to the previous model,” said Andy Eide, Vice President of New Product Development. “When airflow is increased with these types of air purifiers, greater distribution into the indoor environment is possible and you get a much higher rate of performance out of the machine.”
Because the air in the indoor environment is treated outside the unit rather than internally like a filter, the FreshAir Box is considered by the company to be an “active” technology. By distributing the unit’s air purification properties out into the indoor space, ActivePure-based air products can affect areas that are typically unreachable with filtration, including exposed surfaces. This allows for continuous deodorization, freshening, and treatment without the use of perfumes, sprays, or chemicals.
