A CLEANER PERSPECTIVE
Bosch outlines how their cabin filter technology does its best to reduce the number of
pollutants entering the car through the air vents.
The negative effect pollutants
have on the environment has
been a hot topic for years, but
the impact on our health is a
less discussed and ever-growing
concern. With consumers
becoming more environmentally
and health conscious, and hay
fever season right around the
corner, now is the perfect time
to be promoting premium cabin
filters like Bosch’s Filter+.
A SERIOUS MATTER
Air pollution is a major trigger
for asthma, lung disease, stroke
and heart disease. According to
the World Health Organisation
(WHO), pollution from
combustion engines and fossil
fuels causes around 40,000 early
deaths in the UK alone.
With European drivers
spending an average of 10 days
in their vehicle annually, and
infrastructure for cleaner options
remaining insufficient to be
used widely, it’s undeniable that
society’s dependence on fossil
fuels isn’t shrinking rapidly.
Cabin filter technology has been
developed to protect motorists
by trapping these pollutants and
preventing them from getting in
to the body’s respiratory system.
The main pollutants they filter
are soot, carbon and dust from
roads, fields and tyres.
Statistics Population, 2012), a
functioning cabin filter can save
them a lot of discomfort. The
Bosch Filter+ cabin filter can
help allergy sufferers as it meets
the high efficiency particulate
(HEPA) standards with a
filtration efficiency of up to 99%
at 2.5 microns. This reduces the
chance of developing allergic
reactions such as eye irritation,
itching and sneezing.
NEW
Standard Cabin Filter
The 3-layered filter helps prevent
the formation of micro-organisms.
It protects against pollen, reduces
the occurrence of misted windows,
concentration of pollutants within the
vehicle and maintain the longevity of
the air-conditioning system.

Activated Carbon Filter
This 4-layered filter is reinforced
with an activated carbon layer that
absorbs smells and harmful gases,
and provides added protection from
elements like exhaust fumes and soot.
USED
With the change from new (top)
to 9,000 miles later (bottom), it’s
evident why Bosch recommends
the cabin filter be changed every
10,000 miles or annually.
