Air purifiers

Pure air for good health

The quality of air has undeniably decreased over the course of the past decades. Particularly air in rooms with a higher concentration of pollutants or accumulation of contaminants is affected much more than air on the outside of buildings. 

Respiratory ailments, allergies and asthma are just few of the consequences of bad air. There are especially harmful sources including tabacco and cigarette smoke, allergen dust, contaminants and chemicals as well as mould, germs and bacteria. However, even pollen and hair from dogs or cats can further make things difficult in the everyday life of sufferers from allergies and might even make things worse. Respiratory problems are then often accompanied by head aches, difficulties to concentrate and fatigue. Bad air is therefore not only theoretically harmful, but can also manifest in direct symptoms. Treatment for the latter may provide some short-term relief, although that does not prove to be efficient in the long run as the problems tend to come back when the quality of the air is not changed.

An air purifier can help in this situation. They filter the air from pollutants like dust, mite waste, bacteria, viruses, gas and all other substances that can potentially cause problems. Step by step they clear the air, soothe allergies and lower the consequences of polluted breathing air. Originally, air filters were used in spaceflight, medicine, research and in all fields where pure air was necessary. This reflects their outstanding performance. 

Air purifiers have different filters that work in their own, individual way. Apart from carbon and electrostatic filters, there are photocatalytic filters. In order to guarantee the efficiency of air purifiers it is important to check their filters regularly and clean or replace them if required. This is the only way to ensure that they can work with their full potential and rid the air of up to 99.99% of all germs, dust, hair and other particles, no matter the size of the pollutants. Smells are being neutralised and the use of an air purifier quickly increases the wellbeing, which is not surprising when taking the amount of harmful substances into account that are in our everyday breating air. Research has shown that air in closed rooms has 100 times the amount of pollutants the air outside of rooms and buildings has.
