BACKGROUND
[0002] Most people spend the main part of their life indoors, in production
industries, offices, public institution and private homes. Hence, poor indoor air quality can have a significant impact on people's life. Airborne dust particles often contain allergens and microorganism like bacteria, fungi and viruses as well as their toxic products. Inhalation of these biological contaminants may result in lung problems and other illness, like asthmatic and allergies.
[0003] The workload of today's generation is increasing with every passing
day. Safety is considered as the top priority for waste management and taken as the shared sole responsibility. Few existing vacuum cleaners have been developed and emerged in the market.
