Everyone is entitled to smoke-free indoor air
The requirements for indoor air quality are getting more stringent
all the time, particularly in public spaces and restaurants.
Tobacco smoke irritates both non-smoking and smoking clients,
patrons and employees. It contains over 100 compounds known
to be harmful to the health, over forty of which are classified
as carcinogens. Secondary smoke contains the same irritating
and toxic substances – in equal measure – as primary smoke.
Secondary smoke, otherwise known as passive smoking,
causes inflammatory alterations in respiratory passages
which can lead to respiratory disorders and asthma.
Developed by LIFA for the needs of restaurants, the Tobacco
Smoke Eraser effectively removes tobacco smoke (over 95%)
from the indoor air of restaurants, without affecting the
function of existing climate control systems.
Convenient: does not require alteration of climate control systems
Easy to maintain: LIFA filter changes are few and far between
Economical: lows initial purchase cost and low maintenance costs
Invisible: the quiet-running filter can be painted to match any décor
Effective: removes over 95% of gaseous and 99% of particulate impurities
Easy and economical solution for secondary smoke problems
The LIFA Tobacco Smoke Eraser prevents air impurities from
spreading in rooms and eliminates unpleasant tobacco smoke
from the air. The LIFA filter can be installed as part of an exhaust
air system or to recirculate filtered air back into the indoor space.
Filtered air can also be used to increase patron comfort wherever
necessary.
The economical filter is suitable for all types of restaurants. The
filter is available in two sizes depending on filtration requirements.
The Smoke Eraser runs quietly and can easily be hidden away
or painted to match any décor – the only evidence of its existence
being purer indoor air.

The LIFA 3G filter consists of a particulate impurities section and
integrated gas filter. In the left picture is an unused LIFA 3G, in the right
a tobacco smoke filter after four months of use; this filter still cleaned the
indoor air to 98%.

Case study – Restaurant Åbo, Helsinki:
-
During a period of four months, the filter installed at the
restaurant (filter face area 1,2 m2) collected over 200 g in
solids and harmful gases, such as dust, tar, nicotine, toluene
and benzene.
-
Restaurant employees and patrons noticed a significant
improvement in the air quality of the smoking section and
did not want to give up use of the filter.
- Restaurant clients were clearly more satisfied with the air
quality while the Smoke Eraser was running.
