Why Air Purifiers Are Important
BREATHE EASIER AT HOME
As most of us spend a huge amount of time in our homes, it’s important to consider how clean our indoor air is,as the quality of the air we breathe is closely linked to overall health.
Unfortunately, our homes can trap and harbour harmful pollutants and allergens like CO2, tobacco smoke, pet dander, pollen, dust and dust mites, mould spores to name a few. Exposure to these nasties can cause a huge range of health conditions including respiratory issues, skin irritations, as well as being triggers for asthma and allergy sufferers.
Vacuuming regularly is a great start, but this alone won’t be enough to clean your air properly. Thankfully, air purifiers are a fantastic way to remove pollutants and allergens from the air in your home, and with a huge range of air purifiers on the market today, finding the right one for you is easy.
One of the most efficient types of air purification technology is the HEPA Filter. A true HEPA Filter is designed to capture up to 99.97% of 0.3-micrometer particles*, which include particles finer than dust and pet dander.
Other types of air purification systems such as UV filters, ozone generators, ionisers, and activated charcoal are also effective at purifying air, but won’t always capture the scope of particles that a true HEPA Filter will.
Many air purifiers will not only make the air cleaner, but along with this will also remove odours from the air, leaving your home not only cleaner, but smelling fresher.
Most air purifiers are small and mobile enough that they can be moved around a house and placed exactly where you need them. Air purifiers can also help to reduce mould build-ups and potential spores, helping to reduce the presence of. viruses and bacteria in your home.. The air we breathe is incredibly important to our health and well-being, so ensuring the air quality in your home is at its best is vital!
