ONIL Stoves
Exposure to smoke from open fires within a home has been shown in several studies to be one of the leading causes of respiratory illness.
Most of the substances contained in the smoke emitted by biofuels (coal, firewood, crop residues, animal manure, etc.) can harm human health, the most important particles being: carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide, sulfur oxides (mainly in coal), formaldehyde, and polycyclic organic matter (often causing cancer).
Particles whose diameter is less than 10 microns, mainly those with a diameter less than 2.5 microns, can penetrate deep into the lung tissues and are those that cause the greatest damage to health.
Advantages and benefits:
• Reduction of up to 70% in the consumption of firewood, thus helping to conserve the forest.
• Saves time and money, as the consumption of firewood is reduced, less time is spent collecting or money to buy it.
• Reduces eye irritation or respiratory illnesses by eliminating kitchen smoke.
• Increases self-esteem and empowerment of women.
• Long-lasting, using it properly and providing it with good maintenance, it can last more than 20 years.
• It can be installed in just 40 minutes and can be used immediately.
• It is safe and prevents accidents.
ONIL water purifier
ONIL water purifying filters were initially designed to provide a practical solution to the needs of daily consumption of pure water, in rural areas of Guatemala, where the scarcity of water and the high cost of acquiring it has become a problem.
Using the highest quality components and technology at an affordable price, the ceramic candles with activated carbon and colloidal silver used by the ONIL filter, are designed to trap dangerous bacteria that cause diseases such as cholera and dysentery.
Advantages and benefits:
• Efficiency of 99.99%.
• Reduction in the consumption of firewood because there is no longer a need to boil water.
• Family health at low cost.
• Reduces the turbidity of the water, with an efficiency greater than 99.7%.
• Removes parasites and pathogenic bacteria such as: E.coli, Klebsiella, Cholera, Shigella, Salmonella and Giardia.
