Be
Allergy Free in Your Home and Office! Get an Allergy Air Purifier!
Being susceptible to allergies puts such a damper on things, doesn’t it?
Immune system is all very well, but to have it go into over drive and launch
attacks on everything from pollens to pet dander to dust mites to ozone is quite
the limit.
Who wants to wake up with hay fever, headaches, runny nose or skin rashes?
To have to wake up at nights with breathlessness or asthmatic attacks is not
just irritating but horrid. Now, at least when you are indoors, you do not
have to succumb to allergic attacks. You can just buy an allergy air purifier
and have it installed in your home and office.
If your allergy is from dust mites, then it is better to have allergy
bedding as well. Get dust mite covers made of hypoallergenic material for your
mattress, duvets and comforters and pillows.
Just getting them wouldn’t be enough and hence have an air purifier
installed in your bedroom. HEPA air purifier, which uses HEPA filters, is
considered one of the best air purifier for allergies and is approved by
physicians.
The best allergy air purifiers trap all sort of allergens such as dust mites,
pet dander, cat hair and dog hair, pollens and fine dust. Hence these allergy
air purifiers are also good for people who are allergic to pets and pollens
and those who have dust allergy.
The HEPA filters remove dust and allergens above 0.3 microns in size, some
going so far as to remove dust above 0.1 micron size. The IQAir health pro
plus removes allergens of 0.1 microns and above.
HEPA air purifiers usually have a pre filter to trap larger dust particles
before the air reaches the HEPA filter. HEPA air purifier doesn’t generate any
harmful chemicals such as ozone.
Honeywell air purifiers such as Honeywell 17000 QuietCare™ True HEPA Air
Purifier, Honeywell HHT-081 HEPAClean Tower Air Purifier and Honeywell 50200-N
True HEPA Air Purifier use HEPA filters, some of which use permanent HEPA
filters so that you don’t have to go to the trouble and cost of replacement
filters.
Another way air purification is done is by exposing the air to UV radiation.
UV air purifiers kill germs by means of a UV lamp.
Ionic Breeze Silent Air Purifier purifies air by ionizing air particulates
which are then attracted to oppositely charged plates in the purifier. These
plates could be take out and cleaned regularly.
Some air purifiers such as Alen air purifier has four stage purification
system consisting of a HEPA filter, UV air purifier, Ionizer which produces
negative ions in the breeze thus protecting from dust and pollen allergens and
the allergies caused by positive ions,
and Photo-Catalytic oxidation, which eliminates ammonia, gases, smoke and
other organic compounds.
Allerair purifiers have an option of adding a UV lamp in addition to the HEPA
and activated carbon filters.
There are ozone air purifiers which claim to be very effective in cleaning
allergens by creating a cloud of ozone. This could actually be more
problematic since ozone itself is an irritant which cause allergic reactions.
It is also harmful to inhale and hence ozone cleaning is only useful in
purifying empty rooms by means of oxidizing harmful chemicals.
Finding out the best air purifier is not easy. It is better to check out
reviews at sites to get an idea of which one to choose.
