Air Purifier Advice

Why HEPA Air Purifiers Are The Solution To Bad Air

HEPA filters came about during World War II when the Atomic Energy Commission developed them to stop radioactive energy. That has to be a powerful filter, and you can use this same technology in your home to stop the most harmful particles in your air from destroying the quality of your life. Today, HEPA filters are everywhere, and used on many new models of appliances that require filters. Of the appliances that use them, HEPA air purifiers and vacuum cleaners make the best use of this important filter technology.

Why HEPA is Healthier

What’s the big deal, a filter is a filter—right? Wrong. While HEPA gets a lot of hype as an allergy prevention filter, it has many benefits beyond preventing allergy attacks. A HEPA filter will catch the smallest particles that bigger filters will miss. These include some of the most harmful particles in the air around you including bacteria and mold spores.

Additional Support from HEPA Filters

You’ll notice, as you search for air purifiers, or other appliances that use HEPA technology, they are not single filter machines. The HEPA is not meant to work alone. It is such a tight filter, that it would clog too easily if the larger debris in the air were filtered through it. When searching for an air purifier you need to make sure that there is at least one, but usually two additional filters that trap larger particles before the air goes through the HEPA filter.

Easy Care

HEPA style filters are easy to care for. Because they are the last line of defense, and are not responsible for catching the big, heavy particles they don’t get dirty fast and usually last two or more years between changes. However, it is important to note that you want to make sure the HEPA system in the unit is coated with an anti-bacterial agent so that it kills the harmful elements that get caught in it. That way you get rid of the health risks instead of trapping them in the air filter to live.

Sneeze Relief

Of course, the reason these filters are so commonly associated with allergy relief is that they are a powerful resource for anyone who suffers from allergies or asthma related problems. The other filters in your air purifier will usually trap hair and even dander, but a lot of junk can escape the bigger filters. Nothing gets through the HEPA, so even if dander or hair does manage to work free of the initial filters, it will get trapped by the HEPA and your air will be clean.

VOC Control

VOCs are the tiniest particles in your air, but they are also the most destructive. VOC stands for volatile organic compounds, and your home has them no matter how hard you work to keep it clean. VOCs are caused by gas emissions, chemicals and even common items like markers and printer ink.

Bacteria are also considered VOCs, and you don’t even have to be “sick” to bring in these nasty particles. They can travel into your home on your clothes and shoes and live in the air for months waiting to strike and make your family sick.

IEST (Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology) sets up the filtration standards for the filtration industry. The best HEPA filter units trap over 99.97% of all particles including VOCs. It is important to pay attention when you buy an air purifier with a HEPA filter that it uses the highest quality filter. Any filter that traps at least 85% of the particles in the air is designated as a HEPA filter, and there are 5 levels of HEPA designations (H10, H11, H12, H13 and H14).

You need to find a purifier that is and H12 or better with H14 being the best you can get. An H12 will trap 99.5% of all particles in the air. An H14 will stop 99.97%, but you will pay more for the highest levels of HEPA filtration, and the replacements will cost more as well.

Whether you buy an H12 air purifier or an H14, they will improve the health of your home, and also help control harmful or just obnoxious odors that are common in homes, so you’ll not only feel better you’ll enjoy your home more.

What is UVGI Air Purifier?

Air purifiers are required to clean indoor air.

The Environmental Protection Agency has said that indoor air has much higher levels of pollutants and irritants as outdoor air—two to five times higher. The agency has also listed indoor air as one of the five largest environmental risks to public health. Clearly, an indoor air purification system is necessary. But with all the options available, how do people choose an air purification system that is right for them? Why not go with the type of system that is used in hospitals and other medical facilities? Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) air purification, when used correctly, results in a whopping 99.9% reduction of microorganisms in the air.

What is Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation?

Put simply, the UVGI air purifier uses ultraviolet light to kill microorganisms. It has been known for years that ultraviolet radiation kills many types of microorganisms. Bacteria, fungi, mold, viruses and other bothersome microorganisms have less UV protection than humans do. Ultraviolet light is electromagnetic radiation, and at short wavelengths, UV radiation destroys bacteria and other pathogens. UV radiation kills microorganisms by destroying their DNA: the radiation breaks the molecular bonds in their DNA, and it also destroys nucleic acids, the “building blocks” of DNA.

Who uses UVGI?

UVGI air purification has been used for years in medical facilities. That fact speaks volumes about how effective this technique is for getting rid of air-borne pathogens. The United States government has also adopted UVGI air purifiers for all government buildings. In addition, Center for Disease Control has supported the use of UVGI air purifiers, and the Air Institute of Respiratory Education advocates the use of UVGI as well. Clean-air advocates say that UVGI should be used everywhere—schools, office buildings and public buildings are major sources of respiratory disease, and the system will benefit private residences as well.

Sick Building Syndrome.

Airborne pathogens are thought to cause a condition known as “Sick Building Syndrome.” According to the EPA, this is when the occupants of a building have health problems that seem to be related somehow to the building, “but no specific disease or cause can be identified.” People who suffer from “Sick Building Syndrome” report relief when they leave the building. Again, many people say that UVGI should be used in ALL buildings. The UVGI air purifier in places of employment will increase the general health and well-being of employees, and it will also decrease absenteeism.

Need to use UVGI correctly.

As the Environmental Protection Agency states, effective killing of airborne microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi requires a much higher UV exposure than is present in the typical residential unit. The solution, according to Calu Tech, is to buy a system with 24,000 or more micro-watts. Also, since stand-alone room purification units only clean the air they “catch,” it might be a good idea to use a unit that is placed in a ventilation duct, thus purifying the air of the entire house.

In order to realize the most reduction in indoor-air contaminates, the Food and Drug Administration and others say that the technique is not a replacement for a regular air-filtration system; UVGI needs to be used in conjunction with an air-filtration system. This is because UVGI air purifier only removes microorganisms from the air, leaving things like pet dander, pollen and chemicals. Also, UVGI air purifier by itself leaves dead mold spores in the air, which can still cause allergic reactions.

With indoor air quality being so terrible just about everywhere, homeowners should take control of the air inside their house. A UVGI air purifier may prevent illness by killing airborne pathogens. Significantly, UVGI systems are used by medical facilities, and now by the U.S. government. They would be a great addition to residences as well. EPA-approved and proven to kill 99.9% of airborne pathogens when used correctly, a UVGI air purification system would be a great investment. Home owners should make sure, however, that they buy a system with sufficient UV exposure. Used in conjunction with a more traditional air filter, UVGI air purifier promises to make the air inside a home as clean and as irritant-free as possible.

 

An ultraviolet air purifier can rid the air of germs as well as other allergens.

The UV air purifiers have always been popular in the market for their power to sterilize the surrounding air. They are generally installed into air-conditioning systems of homes but are also available as portable units that will purify the air in a decent-sized room. These are usually a lot more economical and work wonders for any allergy sufferers in your family.

How Ultraviolet Air Purifier Technology Works

We know that exposure to sunlight has many benefits but in addition, certain UV wavelengths have the power to destroy micro-organisms such as bacteria and viruses – mold spores included. An ultraviolet air purifier utilizes the shortest UV wavelength of concentrated light to breakdown the contaminants and kill germs. This form of UV light can be harmful if exposed to us and can damage both our skin and eyes severely.

For the larger whole house UV air purifiers, the light lamp that produces that ultraviolet lamps need to be replaced around once a year to keep it efficient at killing any contaminants. This UV lamp is normally installed near the main air filter of the air-condition or central heating system in order for it to be potent. The potency is also reduced if a lot of dust or dirt settles on the ultraviolet lamp, therefor regular professional maintenance will be necessary.

UV air cleaners these days do not only utilize the power of ultraviolet light to clean the air, as this may not be sufficient. Most air cleaners these days will make use of other air purification technologies such as an efficient HEPA air filter. The HEPA filter is capable of filtering out the tiniest of allergens and prevent contaminants such as pollen, smoke and dust from ever reaching your nose – something an ultraviolet air purifier just will not do.

Many non-UV air purifiers in the market work well initially but after a while, mold as well as other organisms and contaminants may build up on the air filter and may actually thrive there. This is exactly why having ultraviolet bulbs to sterilize the filter is so important. Many people who have utilized UV air cleaners whether portable, or installed into their homes, have noticed a significant reduction of allergy symptoms. Thus, when you combine both the HEPA and a UV lamp, what you get is an extremely potent air cleaner unit.

There are many very good UV air cleaners available these days and they all do a relatively good job at purifying your air. So ultimately, your options come down to brand popularity, price as well as reliability. The following are a couple of the UV air purifiers that have received the best feedback.

Popular Makes Of Ultraviolet Air Purifiers

HFD-135 Honeywell Air Purifier

Honeywell air purifiers are amongst the most raved about brands when it comes to home air cleaners and also present the most value for money. They are also the most recommended for allergy and asthma sufferers by medical professionals because of their easy to replace, high-tech air filters.

The ionizer within the Intelli-Pro is rated as a 100% safe and does not produce ozone as some other brands of air cleaners do.

The Pros? The Surround Air XJ-3800 air purifier unit is the most efficient when it comes to running and maintenance cost, as it comes with a pre-filter that is easily removable and cleanable. The manufacturer also supplies very inexpensive filters and UV bulbs should you need to replace them.

 

Viruses are the smallest microbes; only bacteria, protozoa and fungi are larger in size. Some of the harmful viruses are the Swine influenza (flu) virus, the SARS flu (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) virus, Asian Flu and Hong Kong Flu viruses.

Air Oasis G3 Air-Purifiers (Patent Pending) Whereas HEPA filters can only remove small particulates, and carbon filters can only remove chemicals, VOC and odors, Air Oasis G3 UV technology is highly tested and proven to remove most viruses, bacteria, MRSA (Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus), mold spores, VOCs, chemicals, gases, odors, pet dander, pollen and particles of 0.001 micron size. There are many models of Air Oasis, but the Air Oasis G3 Portable is specially designed for small rooms such a nursery/bedroom/study.

Inside their patented ceramic core, 99.99% of microorganisms (molds, yeasts, bacteria and viruses) are destroyed at around 400F without increasing the room temperature noticeably. This technology provides silent, effective operation, is maintenance-free, and energy efficient (uses below 52 watts); available in three models./p>

Whole House Air Purifiers are generally for direct installation into your home HVAC system, cleaning the air through its ducts. Whole House Air Purifiers can also be standalone units, placed at a centralized location, and clean your entire home.

Many whole-house filters list their MERV value, and the top performers rate MERV higher than 10. Whole-house air-purification is an expensive proposition if you do not have forced-air heating. You have to install it with professional help into the ducts of your forced-air heating system and most need to be wired into your home’s electrical system.

Whole-house (built-in) air-cleaners remove dust and smoke particles from the air efficiently, using a highly-efficient filter. An electronic precipitator produces some ozone which might dirty the walls with deposited pollutant particulates.

Whole-house air filters are economical alternatives to whole-house built-in air-cleaners. You just remove the old filter and attach the alternative whole-house air-filter to the forced-air heating or cooling system. However, these are less efficient than built-in air-cleaners.

Some of the popular and top-rated whole-house air-purifiers are from: Airpura, Blueair, IQAir, Austin Air, NQ, Trion and Air-O-Swiss; a few are given below.

*Note: The terms Air-filter and Air-cleaner are generally used interchangeably. However, air-filtration is generally used to refer to the forced air-heating/cooling system at home.

IQair’s Perfect 16
IQair’s perfect 16 is rated 16 MERV, the highest rating for an air-filtration system. It can be used with any existing forced air system, and is guaranteed to be around hundred times more efficient than a standard furnace filter, at removing allergens, smoke, dust, and microbes. IQAir gives a “10 X clean air-cleaning guarantee”, and go further by having an authorized installer test your home air before as well as after installation to prove their point. Further, you don’t need to change the filters of this model for up to 3 full years (unlike conventional filters that have to be changed several times a year). The Perfect 16 purifier is integrated into your existing HVAC system. IQAir’s micro fiber technology replaces your existing HVAC filter with 10 times more efficiency.

Aprilaire Premium Whole House Electronic Air Cleaner
This model has been Aprilaire’s top product for 3 years. This model features excellent filtration with at least 94% efficiency at removing 0.35 micron size disease-causing bacteria, traps viruses with 80% efficiency, and is over 99% efficient at trapping pollen. It filters up to 72 square feet. Air passes through an intensified electrical field generated by ionizing wires. The pollutant particles get charged in the electrical field and trapped by earthed micro-fiber media. Aprilaire claims its air-filtration to be MERV 15.

An HVAC professional has to install this unit in your central air and heating system. This model is economical for those who cannot invest in expensive whole house air-purifier systems.

Though air-purifier companies often claim their machines to be silent, the commonest complaint from users of most air-purifiers is “Noisy at high speed” or “Noisy above low speed”. However, everything – including silence – has a price.

*Note: If any air-cleaner/purifier is marketed without a noise specification (decibels), assume it to be loud. The Quietest air purifier will have noise of 15 dB(A), and a typical air purifier running on low gives of 36 dB(A) noise.

Blueair 603 HepaSilent Air-Purification System

The Blueair 603 HepaSilent air-purifier employs both mechanical and electrostatic air filters to deliver efficient vacuuming. It is also one of the quietest room air purifiers in the market, with eight models to choose from;

Whirlpool Whispure 510 Air Purifier

The Whispure air-purifier covers 510 Sq. Ft., and features a HEPA Filter and a filter-replacement indicator; it operates quietly.

Bionaire Air Purifier

One of the most silent air-purifiers recommended by market sources is the Bionaire Air Purifier model BAP1300, which features a two-stage purification system. Made to fit allergic individuals, it removes pollen, dust mites, animal dander, smoke, odors, and other allergens. The other features are: 4 air speeds, an odor-capturing pre-filter, a CADR of 315 (very good), effective for 500 sq.ft. rooms, remote control, and filter monitor. However, the filter should be changed once in 3 months. This air-purifier works quietly and efficiently.

Airfree Onix 3000, Platinum 2000 & P1000

These air-sterilizers are not only very good virus air-purifiers, but also work in total silence. Their noise-ratings are excellent. Airfree air-sterilizers employ a ceramic core patented technology to kill/destroy any organic matter such as: bacteria, viruses, pollens, cat/dog dander.

There’s so many dust and allergens floating around in the air that it’s no wonder so many people are getting sick. It’s not only spring time that causes allergies to flare up, people are having trouble with allergies all year long. This is because they are unable to deal with the impurities in their own home.

This air cleaner is very quiet and on the low setting you can barely hear it. This means you can leave it on all night while you’re sleeping. In fact even on the medium setting you shouldn’t have any trouble going to sleep. It’s a white noise also, so will help to block out other disturbing sounds.

On low the fan can barely be heard, medium is like a normal fan noise and is not bothersome at all. I actually enjoy this white background noise… more

Permanent Filter

This air cleaner comes with a permanent filter so you never have to buy new ones. You’ll save money and the hassle of searching around for the right filter. All you need to do is clean the filter with a vacuum every six months to make sure it is free from dust and other debris.

If you’re looking for a full air purifier that will clear the air of gases and smoke smells try a larger model such as the Whirlpool Whispure Air Purifier.

 

Where And How To Use A Compact Air Purifier

Compact room air purifiers are exceptionally good in offices where pollution can come from the outside when doors are opened or chemically from the odors produced by perfumes, talc, lotions and other such products that are brought in by employees and clientele. They are also good to use in office storage closets and copy rooms where there may be dust and lint from the stored files and from copy paper.

With the current interest and concern for clean air, we want to have clean air in all of the rooms in our homes. The current trend is towards the personal or compact home, or office, air purifier. Almost all of the companies that manufacture air purifiers have a portable or compact type available.

Did you know that there is an air purifier available for your refrigerator? That is a place we would not think of using an air purifier but Oreck thought of it, and the Oreck Refrigerator Air Purifier can eliminate cross contamination of food odors and sterilizes the refrigerator every hour. This elimination of cross contamination and sterilization reduces spoilage and breaks down any pesticides on produce that may be in your refrigerator. The small and compact size of the Oreck Air Purifier is also easy to use in a closet, bathroom or in your automobile.

There are other air purifier companies that offer compact or portable air purifiers, among which are: Ionic Pro which also has a car ionizer; IQAir HealthPro and IQ HealthPro Plus; Kaz Inc. makes an 8×10 room air purifier; and Vernado.

The Honeywell HHT-011 HEPAClean Compact Air Purifier is a table top model that is recommended to be used in rooms of up to 85 square feet. It has a HEPA A type filter that will eliminate up to ninety nine percent of mold spores, pollen, pet dander, smoke and dust. For additional cleaning power there is an optional ionizer with a washable pre-filter. The nightlight featured on the air purifier gives off a soft light. The Honeywell HHT-011 HEPAClean Compact Air Purifier is 10×6×11 inches in size.

These compact room air purifiers are exceptionally good in offices where pollution can come from the outside when doors are opened or chemically from the odors produced by perfumes, talc, lotions and other such products that are brought in by employees and clientele. They are also good to use in office storage closets and copy rooms where there may be dust and lint from the stored files and from copy paper.

There are many uses for the personal or compact air purifying systems because they fit in places where air contamination is prevalent but the large air purifier would either not fit nor would it be cost efficient. The personal or compact air purifying system is the answer to clean air in every part of your house, to keep you and your healthy healthy.

What to Look for in the Best Whole House Air Purifier The Whole House Air Purifier for Better Health

To help purify the air in your house, you have certain options such as: furnace filters, portable air purifiers and ionizers. However, there is nothing that is more effective than a whole house air purifier. Having a whole house purifier you will have clean air in the entire house from the upstairs bedrooms to the basement.

In a recent report from the Office of the Surgeon General and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) it was stated that indoor air pollution is as much as one hundred percent as much as the outdoor air pollution. Air pollution, without a doubt, is a serious problem. Since they say that we spend as much as ninety percent of out lives indoors, between home, work, shopping, etc., it is time we to take things into account and resolve the problem, especially that of the air in the house. The answer would be a whole house air purifier. Using a whole house air filtration system can easily eliminate large and small airbourne pollutants. Some of the most common indoor pollutants are dust, pet dander, pollen and dust mites. But, the biggest health hazards are pollutants such as bacteria and viruses. Did you know you can have over one million dust mites in one square inch of dust? Now that is something to think about.

With as many air purifiers as there are, on the market today, none of them are more effective than a whole house purifier. Unfortunately, with most ionizers and air purifiers of the portable type, they only purify a certain amount of square feet so you need more than one to do the whole house. The whole house purifier leans the air in the entire house making it a healthier place in which to breathe for the entire family, especially if there are any sufferers of asthma, emphysema, bronchitis or allergies.

A good whole house air purifier can be installed adjacent to your heating and cooling system and it will eliminate such pollutants as we mentioned earlier: dust, pet dander, dust mites, mold spores, pollen as well as bacteria and viruses, smoke and other pollutants.

When it comes to whole house air purifiers you should shop to find the best whole house purifier for your home, taking into consideration the square feet and how many windows and doors your house has. With a whole house air purifier on the job you and the members of your family will not longer have to suffer the irritation from airbourne pollutants.

 

The IQAir HealthPro Plus is one the top-selling and popular of the IQAir purifiers range.

The HealthPro offers the most sophisticated air filter systems for your home, and is what you need if you or your family suffers from bad allergy symptoms like hay fever. The company IQAir gained many awards due to it’s advanced air purifier system that is capable of getting rid of almost all the contaminants with the air of your room and the list includes microscopic particles such as pollen, bacteria, viruses,mold and dust mites (normally the main causes of severe allergies in people). Others who have bought the IQAir HealthPro Plus all noticed that most of their allergy-related symptoms disappear almost instantly.

This IQAir filter makes use of the most advanced in HEPA air purifier technology and nothing in the market matches its ability to provide micro-organism-free and clean air. IQAir’s technology works so well that during the SARS virus breakout in China and Hong Kong, hospitals utilized the IQAir purifier technology successfully to sanitize the rooms.

How Does The IQAir HealthPro Plus Air Cleaner Work?

The IQAir HealthPro Plus is a portable and compact room air cleaner, meaning no installation is required and you can have it easily moved to any of the rooms within your home. The unit itself is extremely well built and really tough, but the downside to it is that it’s relatively heavy to lift up. It’s no problem though as when you buy the air cleaner, it comes with optional wheels that you can attach on and roll to the location of your choosing.

If you have a room that’s around 20 square foot room, the IQAir HealthPro Plus will work just fine. It’s also capable of purifying the air of even slightly larger rooms than this if you set it on the maximum setting (it has six setting controls). Note: on the medium setting of 3, the unit does tend to sound like a small engine but it’s bearable. When you purchase the IQAir unit, you will also get a small hand held controller with which you can change the settings of the air purifier unit on the fly, so if the noise levels get to you during the night when you’re trying to go to bed, you can easily turn it down to a lower setting.

The reason the IQAir filters in the unit work so well extremely well is due to the pressure sealing of the air filters from all 3 sides – this ensures that no allergens get around the filters causing contaminated air. When put to the test, the HealthPro Plus stands as one of the most efficient and effective air purifiers in the market.

The cons of going for the IQAir HealthPro Plus is that it is fairly expensive unless you find a great bargain on the internet. Having the HealthPro filters replaced every so often can be a real investment as well – you will need to replace the pre-filter as well as the 4 charcoal filters. Again, buying direct through online retailers will save you big bucks in the long run. These carbon filters are great though and you won’t realize just how efficient they really are at removing odors until you have to replace them.

In conclusion, judging from all the past reviews, you can’t go wrong with this unit, it’s a winner. It might cost you quite a bit initially when investing in the IQAir

HealthPro Plus unit, but in the long run you’re saving money on allergy-relief medication by having clean air in your home, and also living a better quality of life.

Reviews of ionic air purifiers and other air purifiers on the internet have fallen short of the expectations of users and the demands of manufacturers. 

Ionic Air Purifier Reviews – Why Are Expectations of Users Not Met?

Users are not getting the factual data that they need to make well-informed decisions about ionic air purifiers. 

Reviewers become too focused on promoting a certain brand of ionic air purifier due to their motivation for financial gain, say when they are affiliates earning a cut for every unit sold from their link. 

Other ionic air purifier reviewers may “fall in love” with a product out of brand loyalty, nationalistic sentiment or simply, irrationality. 

Brand loyalty is difficult to explain. It is akin to motorists always filling up with Shell petrol even though other brands are identical in composition, as a friendly insider of that industry lets out. 

Nationalistic sentiments may arise from bad consumer incidents causing notoriety for the affected country such as the 2008 milk scandal in China leading consumers to be wary of all things Chinese. But such sentiments ignore the fact that many reputable international brands of ionic air purifiers are made in China but subject to the same stringent quality checks that apply regardless of the country of manufacture. Such ionic air purifier reviewers also ignore the fact that there are many defective products, including ionic air purifiers, made in their own home country. 

Ionic Air Purifier Reviews – Why Are Expectations of Manufacturers Not Met?

Manufacturers are wary of ionic air purifier reviewers making wild claims that their products are not designed to deliver. This can cause serious problems for them from health authorities, consumer advocate groups, advertising regulatory authorities, among others. 

In the US, the FDA stipulation that the ozone concentration produced by an air purifier must not exceed 50 parts per billion applies only if the product is sold as a medical device. At the moment, it is believed that there is no ionic air purifier that is manufactured in North America as a medical device. The only known ionic air purifier brand that is marketed as a medical device is Elanra, a product of Australia. These are important facts to bear in mind whenever you read ionic air purifier reviews that make the claim that the product is of medical grade.

Other inaccuracies frowned upon by manufacturers include claims that the ionic air purifier is 100% ozone-free, or is capable of eliminating all classes of airborne contaminants, etc. These are important facts that matter to the user as ozone above certain concentrations can be harmful to human health and certain gaseous contaminants (known as volatile organic compounds or VOC) are outside the design scope of certain ionic air purifiers. 

The 4 Key Factors Ionic Air Purifier Review – A Better Alternative

To address the above concerns of manufacturers and to meet the needs of genuine searchers for an ionic air purifier, we have formulated The 4 Key Factors Ionic Air Purifier Review. Other reasons for using this approach are elaborated in our Ezine Article that is pending approval. 

In bullet summary, our rigorous reviews will focus on the 4 Key Factors that have been covered at length in this author’s articles at EzineArticles.com:

(1) Safety – the beneficial reactive agents of the ionic air purifier technology must not cause harm to human tissue;

(2) Safety – the unintended by-products of the ionic purifier technology must not cause harm to human tissue;

(3) Efficacy – the ionic air purifier technology is based on sound scientific theory that has been conclusively proven in a laboratory to really work;

(4) Efficiency – the ionic air purifier technology has been successfully transplanted from the laboratory into an appliance that will deliver the same results in users’ settings at home, in school, in the workplace etc.

The 4 Key Factors approach will invite manufacturers of ionic air purifiers to provide technical specifications, invite manufacturers to present their case and will analyze and summarize their answers.

As everyone knows, the existence of airborne contaminants present multiple threats to our health and fitness.

As a result selecting a good high quality air cleaner for the office or home is an extremely crucial decision. The market is overloaded with hosts of air cleaning solutions, each claiming to be the finest. These products use a lot of acronyms as well as long syllable terminology that that may leave any typical user confused.

As a public service, I have listed the most important of all the top buying tips for acquiring the proper home air cleaner. You need to understand these industry standard acronyms!

Here is an an explanation for the most frequent acronyms to help you in acquiring the proper product for your use.

HEPA

High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters had been originated during the second world war. They had been created to stop the radioactive particles from entering the human respiratory system. These days, they’re the best air cleaners in the marketplace with their filtration rate a bit below 100%. They are able to remove all particles up to .3 microns.

MERV

Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) denotes the efficiency of the filtration system. It is the capability of the filter to remove the particles. The value lies in the range of 12 to 16. A low value tells you that the filter is ineffective at removing the contaminants. Values of 12 to 16 denote that the filter is extremely efficient in removing more particles. This is the standard employed by all the air purifier producers. This makes comparison among various items extremely simple.

CADR

Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) is the amount of filtered air that is free from three key pollutants: dust, pollen and tobacco smoke. A higher number suggests a greater rate of filtration and thus an effective filter. If at all possible, buy an air purifier whose CADR is around two thirds of the space of the room in whose air you want to filter. These numbers are designated on the box, but they reveal the performance when you use the components supplied by OEM and not by the generic manufacturers.

OEM

Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is the producer who not only sells you the merchandise but also supplies the spare parts when the components within the product deteriorate. You may get generic components in the marketplace, which could be cheaper. But the quality cannot be guaranteed. When you acquire the item from the OEM, you are assured a good quality level, not only on the unit but also on the spares that you purchase. Besides, OEM additionally takes the responsibility for maintaining the air purifiers. This means get a good quality service for the air purifiers.

Right after deciding on the ideal air purification system for your environment, you need to find a decent source from which to purchase the system. My viewpoint is that Amazon offers the ultimate in convenience, as well as good prices. They offer a fantastic selection, a good return policy, and numerous customer testimonials to help you in your purchasing choice.

Now you are able to truly breathe easy!
