Sharp Technologies has launched what it claims to be the world’s first Air purifier that integrates a mosquito catcher. The new Sharp FP-FM40E combines patented Plasmacluster ion technology and a non-toxic mosquito-catching mechanism to purify your air and to protect against deadly vector-borne diseases like Dengue, Chikungunya, Malaria, Yellow fever and Zika virus.

The new Sharp Air purifier has a 5 step mechanism for catching mosquitoes and fruit flies. UV lights attract mosquitoes towards the array of narrow slits on side edges. Approaching mosquitoes are then sucked in and stick to a glue sheet. The Air Purifier uses negative ions to deactivate mold, viruses, bacteria and neutralizing VOCs and toxic gases. The HEPA filter can further capture 99.97% of suspended impurities like smoke, dust, and pollen (only 0.03 micron in size). The Air Purifier covers 300 sq feet area, which should be good enough for an average sized living room.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Shuvendu Mazumdar, National Manager- SHARP Air Purifier Business said: “According to health experts, vector-borne diseases generally spread during the period between the onset and end of monsoon. In these months, there is a surge in the number of cases related to mosquito-borne diseases like Dengue, Malaria, and Chikungunya. To ensure your home is free of mosquitoes or mosquito eggs, you need to take up the right mosquito control measures.” “Sharp’s Air Purifier with mosquito catcher is proven to be one of the most effective solutions to control indoor air pollution along with mosquito infestations without the use of harsh chemicals. It naturally sanitizes the air and traps mosquitoes thus limiting the spread of dreaded viral infections caused by the bite of an infected mosquito,” he added.
