An air purifier can remove smoke from your home or office; it is helpful to understand why this is important to do. Smoke not only contains a number of harmful toxins, but also causes a great deal of damage. Some of this damage can be seen quite easily, but there is some that is invisible, but just as important.
Smoke cannot be removed just by opening windows and hoping that the breeze generated will blow out the harmful effects and remove the damage being caused. That method would be about as effective as opening the windows to remove dust-not at all.
Tobacco, a fireplace, wood, coal or kerosene burning stove, a neighbour who burns brush frequently, cooking, and even wildfires that rage uncontrolled are some of the contributing factors that can create smoke inside your home. Removing it will not only improve the health of all who live there, but will preserve the condition of your furnishings and value of your home as well.
Regardless of the source, breathing it is dangerous, and here are 5 problems that a smoke air purifier can help eliminate.
1. Health Related Problems
Tobacco smoke contains a large range of harmful chemicals and toxins which can be unhealthy to anyone who breathes it, and is especially damaging to children, pets, and those who have respiratory conditions such as allergy, asthma, and emphysema to name a few.
2. Stale Smoke Smell
The smell is unpleasant and often remains in the air for days, even weeks. It permeates your clothing, furniture, draperies, everything. It cannot be removed with sprays or aerosols as they add to the smell rather than take it away. The secret to removing the smell is trapping the fine particulates and gases. And unless you clear the air with a filter that is specifically designed for smoke, you force your lungs to serve as the filter.
3. Odors in Fabric
The fine particulates and odors become impregnated in fabrics, carpets, curtains, cushions, clothes and produce a stale smell that is most noticeable when first entering your home. Books, wooden items and antiques are also extremely susceptible to smoke damage, which can all but destroy their value in terms of resale.
4. Stains
Smoke also stains surfaces, especially walls and ceilings, and items very near the sources of the smoke. This discolouration can be almost impossible to remove if left unchecked for long. Removing the particulates and gases before they have a chance to stain saves you time and money.
5. Poor Air Quality
Smoke changes the proportions of gases in the air, lowering oxygen and increasing carbon monoxide.
A high efficiency particle arresting (HEPA) air purifier with an inner filter especially designed to remove the gases that result from smoke will constantly send fresh, clean, smoke-free air into your home, thus making your home a healthy place to be.
