Indoor Air Purifiers
Introduction: There is a general belief that the atmospheric air pollution in the world affects our health or life styles which is wrong interpretation. The environment in which we actually breathe in requires to be changed since it has the great risks due to the unhealthiest air borne impurities that literally harm our respiratory systems and lungs in particular. The air within our homes, schools or any other buildings is in fact rather more harmful as compared with the air outside these places. The contaminated air usually causes severe diseases such as asthma attacks as well as various serious types of respiratory problems. These are perhaps the basic reasons why we need to change or purify the quality of the air inside our homes. Practically every body is affected, specifically the asthmatics and others who are typically sensitive to various allergens and impurities or contaminants in the surrounding air.
Some useful facts stating the indoor air is much more harmful than the outdoor air:
- The American College of Allergies has revealed that nearly 50% of the illness is provoked or caused by the polluted or contaminated indoor air.
- As declared by the Environmental Protection Agency or EPA, the indoor air ranging between 2 and 10 times are extra hazardous than that of the outdoor air.
- The indoor air superiority epidemic is the nation’s most prioritized environmental problem as declared by the Environmental Protection Agency or EPA.
- Keeping the energy efficacy in mind, most of the new buildings nowadays are built air-tight based on the results of the energy crisis of the 1970s. The air-tight construction pattern keeps all the air borne pollutants within the building environment and the natural air cleansing agents outside of such buildings. No wonder, this resulted in the higher statistics of the asthma problems during the phase when the homes and buildings began to be built in this styles.
- The recent studies has researched that the allergen levels within the super-insulated homes are actually almost 200% higher as compared to that in the ordinary homes.
- As revealed by the Scientific America, the baby crawling on the home floors inhales same as 4 cigarettes per day because of the out-gassing of the molds, mildews, carpets, fungi and much more.
- Most of the people are observed spending more than 90% of their time inside homes which means the indoor air is going affect their health far more than the air outside.
Some useful facts worth knowing: While we use an ionizer, what happens to the ionized particles once they fall on the ground, is that these microscopic pollutants comes out of the air we breathe and leaves them harmless. Since they are not present any more in the air, they cannot make their way to our lungs for harming it any more. But beware, we are just considering the microscopic particles and not the specs of dirt, hence the floors, furniture and all the other surfaces won’t become dirty all of a sudden, once such pollutants start falling out the air. Luckily the ionic air purifiers produce constant supply of negative ions and lower level of ozone which means that kicked-up particles will fall on grounds again very fast.
