Around the cities with children. How many times have you worried about the unhealthy air they were breathing? If you live in large urban centers, unfortunately the levels of pollutants in the atmosphere are very high, also calculating that strollers remain right at the "exhaust height" of cars. It could be a help for moms and dads Brizi Baby, a kind of air filter in the form of a pillow.
Brizi Baby should be placed under the head of the baby who is in a pram or stroller. According to its creators, hunting for funds on Kickstarter, is able to clean the air around children's faces so that they are less exposed to pollutants.
Air pollution is dangerous for everyone but it is even more so for infants whose immune systems are not perfectly mature. It increases their risk of disease and can damage their brain development. According to the latest report byWorld Health Organization, pollution is the worst enemy of children and is responsible for the deaths of 1 in 4 children under the age of five.
We then think of the little ones sitting or lying in strollers, whose position makes them closer to the exhaust pipes of vehicles. The heaviest and most dangerous particles are concentrated about two meters above the ground.
Cleaning up the air they breathe is Brizi Baby's mission. The pillow, equipped with sensors and a fan, filters pollution from the air in the area where the little ones breathe.
How does it work?
Il sensor high-tech detects gases and harmful particles in the air. Upload this information allBrizi application via Bluetooth and turn on the fan. Connected to an app, the system also displays the most polluted walking routes to help find an alternative route.
For its part, the fan filters the pollution present in the portion where the child breathes and supplies clean air, about 1,5 liters every ten seconds.
Brizi Babysa recognize both the high levels of nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide, which are among the most dangerous for human health, and PM2.5.
“Air pollution is fast becoming the leading environmental cause of premature death, projections assume 6,6 million deaths per year by 2050. Research reveals that the dangers to children's health go far beyond the risks to children. adults due to their immature and underdeveloped immune systems and to the greater inhalation of harmful substances compared to the lower body weight ”, we read on the official page of Brizi.

There is time until October 22, 2017 for support the project on Kickstarter and make it land on the market. In the meantime, if we have to take our little ones for a walk, we try, as far as possible, to choose less busy routes but above all let's take them to the countryside, in the woods, to breathe as much clean air as possible.
Brizi Baby production is expected to start in April 2018 and sales in August.
