Home Air Purifier With A Combination Of Technologies
By Joel F Mornigstar
As homes have become more energy efficient by being more airtight
against the weather and elements, the need to have a home air
purifier has become more important. A purifier will keep the indoor
air clean, ensuring a safer environment for all.
When most people think about air pollution, they picture the
brown skies hanging over a metropolitan area on stagnant days,
or perhaps images of industrial smoke stacks spewing out clouds
of airborne waste may come to mind.
Air Pollution Inside Your Home
But generally speaking, people don’t realize that the air inside
of their homes is anywhere from five to twenty times as dirty
and polluted as the air just outside their front door.
Once you put the fact of the unexpected level of indoor air contamination
together with the fact that most Americans spend a good 90 percent
of their lives indoors, it is readily apparent why so many people
are concerned with indoor air quality. This is why so many are
making sure that a home air purifier is a top priority for their
household.
Conflicting Information Leading To Confusion
But it can be confusing, time consuming and frustrating to shop
for the right home air purifier. There are many choices in air
purifiers on the market. There is also much conflicting information
about what is the best way to clean and purify the air in your
home. Some of the considerations to have in mind while shopping
for clean air purifiers are as follows:
Different home air cleaners target different types of air pollutants,
so before beginning, it is important to know what pollutants are
common in your home so that you know what system will be the most
effective for you.
Air Pollutants Inside Your Home
Some of the airborne particulates you may find in your home are:
pet allergens and dander, dust mite allergens, plant and mold
spores, pollen, fungi and tobacco smoke. These are the most common
culprits that trigger indoor allergic reactions and asthma attacks.
A HEPA air purifier is best suited for eliminating such airborne
allergens.
If you are primarily dealing with household odors and gases such
as cooking odors, kitty litter or other animal related odors,
tobacco smoke, various chemicals and toxins, or gaseous pollutants
such as aerosols and inside pesticides, then air purifiers with
activated carbon filters will be best for your situation.
Combination Of Technologies For Your Home
Since the different home air purifier technologies inherently
have different weak areas and strong points, many of the current
air purifiers combine these two main filtering methods into one
unit. This is beneficial since most home environments are dealing
with the need to reduce allergens and toxic particulates, but
also have odors and gases that need to be controlled.
While HEPA air cleaners and activated charcoal, or a combination
of the two, are the most common home air purifier you will find,
there are other technologies for air purification you will see
as well. These technologies include: ion generators and ozone
generators, electrostatic precipitators, charged media filters,
and antibacterial and germicidal filters.
Your Peace Of Mind
Getting a home air purifier for your abode is a good way to increase
your peace of mind regarding the safety of the environment for
everyone in your household and making sure that the air they breath
is as healthy for them as possible.
When shopping for air purifiers, be sure to take the time to
learn about the various technologies available and to understand
the cleaning capacity of each model.
