Air Purifiers: Why Do We Need Them by Jamesrobinson123
We would tend to believe that once we close our windows and doors pollutants, pollen and other outdoor irritants would be permanently banished from our homes. Ironically, doors and windows are not the only entry points for these microscopic offenders. These unwelcome molecules can enter a building through its heating and cooling systems contributing to the poor quality of the air indoors. Heating and cooling systems without the advantage of modern filtering system would turn the indoor environment entirely hazardous. Further aggravated by the lack of Sun and fresh breeze, the inside environ becomes more dangerous to its occupants than the outside pollution. Pollution in such homes is found to be as high as six times that is found outside environment. The American Medical Association estimates that as many as half of all the illnesses reported are precipitated by indoor air pollution. The poor quality of air indoors is a contributing factor for the increasing incidence of some forms of cancer, respiratory disorders like COPD, and other pulmonary infections and conditions.
In a modern home, even with a sophisticated filtering system fitted into its heating and cooling system, quality of air decreases fast due to pet dander, mold spores, and dust mite metabolites. Pets continually shed fur and people, their skin cells. Dust mites feed on the flakes of shed human skin and flourish. Gut enzymes of the house mite persist in their fecal matter and on contact cause asthma, skin irritations and severe allergies in the people living in the house. Indoors, health of the vulnerable and the elderly is further put at greater risk by continuous exposure to smoke and cleaning chemicals that contain ammonia. Ammonia emits Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) that contribute Ozone. Ozone in closed environment affects your normal lung function, increases the risk of asthma and aggravates other pulmonary conditions. Other indoor sources of VOCs are the ubiquitous underarm deodorants, paints, and wood floor sealers. In an enclosed environment all of these factors can get out of control and exacerbate allergies in sensitive individuals, children, the elderly and the sick.
Air Purifiers Increase the Quality of Air in your Home and Prevent Health Hazards:
Thanks to the advancement in preventive medicine and technology, air purifiers are getting increasingly efficient in improving the quality of air indoors. Air purifiers can remove up to 99.9% of airborne mold, bacteria, allergens and viruses in houses and offices. An air purifier with a HEPA filter can trap particles as small as 0 .3 microns. Air purifiers with multiple filtration systems and ionizers can prove even superior. However, if any member of your family is suffering from asthma or Ozone intolerance ionizers should be entirely avoided. An air purifier with a fan can remove dust and allergens more efficiently than ionic air purifiers. Air purifiers that use ultraviolet lights remove bacteria from the air. Air purifiers that use activated carbon or hydroxyl radicals remove mold, bacteria and viruses effectively. Activated carbon in air purifier is very effective in removing odors. You can choose air purifiers that appeal to your aesthetic sense.
Air Purifiers give a Fresh Lease of Life Form Bad Quality Air and Lung Conditions:
Air purifiers capture most of the bacterial, viral and VOCs turning the indoor environ healthy for the elderly and infants who spend most of their time indoors. Air purifiers offer an easy and cost effective way to decrease the indoor air pollutants before these people fall victim to pulmonary disorders. Air purifiers prevent bronchial allergies and asthma among the elderly and the other vulnerable members of the family like infants, toddlers, pregnant women and convalescing individuals. Air Purifiers can offer relief to them from dust allergies and harmful chemical vapors. Air Purifiers can remove their intolerance to pet or household odors and help them breathe easily and safely.
