Air Purifiers and Your Health
Air purifiers come in many different shapes, sizes, and colors. They also come with a wide variety of technology in which they purify or sterilize the air. They can cost any where from 60 to 1600 dollars and eliminate many different types of air born pollutants, chemicals, odors or allergens.
Air born contaminants can be very bad for your health. According to the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease, they are a major cause of disability in the U.S. There is no cure for allergies, but symptomatic relief is possible. The most effective way to combat air born contaminants is by reducing or eliminating exposure to allergens. This same and simple concept works for micro-organisms and microbiological contaminants.
Every time you sit down on the couch, open a door or walk across the rug millions of tiny particles get released into the air. Even the natural air flow of your office or home will pick up tiny mold spores or microbiological particles.
Harmful substances found in the air:
Smoke
Gas
Fungi
Microbiological contaminants
Aerosol
Mold spores
Viruses
Pollen
Bacteria
Drill aerosol (dental office)
Mercury vapor
Dust Mite

Types of Air Purifier Technology:

Air purifiers will help you:
Stay healthier

Air purifiers will help relieve symptoms caused by indoor/outdoor air. Some of these symptoms include red eye, digestive problems, dizziness, chronic fatigue, asthma, congestion, sick building syndrome and many other chronic and acute diseases.
It is important to keep the air you breathe clean and free of contaminants; your respratory system and whole body will thank you for many years to come if you choose to purify your air. Purifiers are made for all different types of room sizes so you can always find one perfect for you. I would suggest finding one that eliminates all types of pollutants. If you're going to buy an air purifier you might as well buy one that does it all. And as with anything you always get what you pay for.
