Air Purifier: Eliminating Mold Spores After Mold Removal Process by James Farkenfur
Mold removal of visible growth is not enough if you want to keep your home completely safe again from molds. That’s because no amount of physical mold removal and cleaning can remove the mold spores that are still present inside your home. Mold removal also triggers some spores to be released into the environment.
If you want your home safe from allergy-triggering mold spores after cleaning and drying a mold infested area, you should run an air purifier or an air cleaner. An air purifier is a device designed to remove a wide variety of airborne contaminants including mold spores. Air purifier is used to improve the quality of air inside your home that has been polluted by mold spores. If your home is freed of mold spores, you give no reason for molds to come back. Using an air purifier at home would also ensure that your home is always free of mold spores and other airborne contaminants. So when choosing an air purifier, choose a product that will be effective not only against mold spores but also against other types of contaminants.
Air purifiers used varied techniques to purify air after mold removal. Some purifiers use filter purification traps, which uses size exclusion to remove particles from air. The machine forces the air through a filter, which then separates and traps the particles.
HEPA filters are found to have a purifying rate of at least 99.7%, and it can remove airborne particles as little as 0.03 micrometer- to 0.01 micrometer-sized particles. They can’t, however, remove particles smaller than 0.01 micrometer. HEPA filters are eco-friendly and do not produce ozone and other byproducts that can harm the environment.
Other purifiers use activated carbon. This material adsorbs molecular-sized particles and volatile chemicals. One problem with this type of purifiers is that they cannot remove large particles. One disadvantage of activated carbon-type purifier is if the solidified particles are disturbed, they can be regenerated into the sources of indoor air. To increase effectiveness of activated carbon, it would be best to use it along with HEPA filter or other types of purifying technology.
Air ionizer purifiers generate electrically charged air ions. When these ions adhere to airborne contaminants, they are electrostatically pulled to charged collector plate. Though this type of purifier produces ozone, it produces just around 0.05 ppm ozone. This is considered the acceptable standard in the industry.
Liquid ionizer purifiers, on the other hand, use liquid ions, which float in the air by attaching to airborne contaminants. The ions absorb the pollutants in the air. Unlike air ionizer purifiers, liquid ionizer purifiers do not produce ozone in the process.
When selecting an air purifier to improve your home air indoor quality after mold removal process, you need to consider a number of things. Look for product produces no ozone, less noise, and is effective not only against mold spores but for most types of air pollutants. Again, physical mold is only one part of the problem when it comes to keeping your home safe from allergy-inducing molds. This can be corrected through mold removal process. To improve the indoor air quality of your home, complete the mold removal process by running an air purifier.
