High efficiency particle arresting air purifiers are often abbreviated as HEPA. These powerful cleaners can remove pollutants from indoor air thereby drastically improving your overall quality of life. Here are 5 of the most common and often serious health issues that they can improve immediately.
Allergies-Airborne allergies result from oversensitivity to pollutants that are able to enter the body though the nose, mouth or eyes. The body then tries to rid itself of these irritants by ejecting them by sneezing, and washing them away with watery eyes, and runny noses. Congestion, coughing, post nasal drip from excess mucous are all unpleasant symptoms that can result because of exposure to these allergens.
Reducing the number of pollutants in the air by filtering your air with a HEPA cleaner will greatly reduce symptoms and make your home a more enjoyable place to be.
Asthma-Like allergies, extrinsic asthma is triggered by exposure to airborne allergens. This causes a constriction of air passages and results in difficulty in breathing. The triggers for asthma are often the same as they are for allergies and include household dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, pollen, pet dander, smoke, odors, and chemicals fumes.
Particulates as small as .3 microns are easily removed by a high efficiency particle arresting air purifier, and one that also includes an additional inner filter that is designed to remove gaseous pollutants gives it greater cleaning capabilities, and provides you with cleaner air.
Chemical Sensitivity-This condition results from sensitivity to chemicals found in carpets, furniture, bedding, upholstery and even household cleaning products. Opting for products that do not contain any scents is an easy fix, but so many other products that you do not have control over contain volatile organic chemicals that can off gas slowly and for long periods of time.
Identifying which things in your home are causing the harmful side effects for you or your family can be daunting, and short of moving out of your home, filtering the air is an affordable solution.
Weakened Immune System-A healthy immune system allows your body to fight off germs, and pollutants and play a huge part in allowing you to stay healthy. If your immune system has been weakened because of chemotherapy, radiation, or any other acute or long term conditions, having pollutants in the air including bacteria and viruses, will greatly increase your chances of an infection that your body will not be able to fight off on its own.
Clearing the air and reducing the number of bacteria and viruses present will give you a better chance of remaining healthy even when your immune system is not able to. And this technology removes germs as small as .3 microns.
Indoor Air Quality-The United States Environmental Protection Agency states that indoor air is 20 more polluted than outdoor air. And with our well insulated homes, pollutants have no way out. HEPA technology makes it possible to greatly reduce the number of indoor pollutants in your air.
And since studies have shown that these pollutants exacerbate respiratory conditions like allergies and asthma, and can often lead to children and older adults developing these conditions, air purification with a high efficiency particle arresting air purifier offers an excellent solution to these problems.
