An Air Purifier for a Breath of Fresh Air
by: Jay B Stockman
One of the most important elements for the survival of human beings is air. Air is a vital component of a very complex set of respiratory functions. This air must be free of contaminants that could cause a potential health risk. Air that contains particles of dust mites, pet dander, pollen and mold spores can cause asthma, allergies and respiratory illnesses. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that indoor air is 70 times more contaminated than outside air. Airborne chemicals from flooring, insulation, paints, cleaning products and other building materials give off dangerous chemical fumes. As a result, homes and offices could potentially increase the likelihood of an allergy or respiratory problems. In order to alleviate these risk factors, it is necessary to utilize a high efficiency air purifier. A high efficiency air purifier circulates air through filters that trap toxins, and allergens, and removes them from inside air.
An air purifier works by drawing in dirty air through an inlet vent. Air then passes through a prefilter which traps large particles, then passes through a carbon filter which captures particles and reduces gases and odors. The air then passes through a filter made of tightly woven fibers to capture the smaller particles. This filter is known as a HEPA filter, which is an acronym for high efficiency particulate absorbing. These filters can absorb particles as small as 0.3 micrometers. Some units have electronic ionizers which further capture smaller particles, and particles that have escaped the previous other filters. A fan then recirculates the filtered air back into the room.
Health hazards from polluted indoor air at home or at the work place have increased the incidence of respiratory illnesses. The use of an air purifier could play a significant role in reducing these risks for healthy individuals, as well as individuals with existing conditions. Purifiers minimize contaminants in the air effectively, before they can cause harm to human tissue. It is important to note that air purifiers are only a part of a bigger solution, keeping a clean living and working environment is absolutely essential.

| Achieve Allergy Relief through Allergen Avoidance |
| By: www.allergy-relief-at-home.com |
You can diminish your allergy symptoms by avoiding those things
you are allergic to. Allergists refer to this method as
"allergen avoidance". Of course, you have to identity those
things to which you are allergic. For our family, we have
allergies to dust mites, cigarette smoke, pet dander, and mold.
Therefore, we implemented a comprehensive strategy to reduce and
remove those allergens from our home.
To help you get started, you can use the following checklist as
a guide to removing allergens from your home:
Enclose all mattresses, box springs, and pillows in the house in
zippered dust mite covers. Why do you ask? Because these covers
"seal in" the dust mites where they grow and thrive and prevent
the dust mite particulate from becoming airborne.
You'll want to wash all bedding at least once per week in very
hot water 130F. It is this hot water that kills the dust mites
that may be present in the bedding. Be sure to check that your
bedding is washable first.
If possible, you'll want to remove most, if not all, carpeting
in the house. Focus especially on all the bedrooms. Carpet is a
magnet for dust collection. It is important to get your bedroom
as allergen free as possible, so that your body has a respite
from allergens during sleep time. Alternate flooring options
would be hard surfaces such as vinyl, tile, or wood floors.
Consider utilizing air purifiers in most rooms, but especially
in each of the bedrooms. Measure room sizes and purchase a
correctly-sized air purifier. Purifiers come with a variety of
features and prices so you are sure to find one within your
budget. It is important to check and clean the filters of the
air purifiers regularly. A dirty filter will not help anyone!
Along with the air purifiers, consider installing a HEPA or
electrostatic air filter in your home's main A/C unit. This
filter will also need to be cleaned periodically.
Do not allow pets inside the house. I know this is very hard for
the pet lover. At the very least, do not allow them in any
bedroom areas. Pet dander is very long lasting on carpeting,
bedding, and wall surfaces and can be very difficult to remove
entirely.
When it comes to allergen avoidance, it is important to note
that for optimal allergy relief, you must do all these things
simultaneously. It is in their combination that you will see the
greatest reduction in allergy symptoms.
