About Air Quality

Clean Air is good
Cleaner Air is Better

Airborne pollutants stem from a variety of sources and make their appearance in either liquid or solid form.  These microscopically small pieces are generally categorized as “particles”.
Approximately 20 million particles are found in 10 cubic feet of room air. This level is twenty times greater than that found in the air of a busy road intersection, and up to two hundred thousand times greater than at the seaside. In the winter when our home heating systems go into high gear, the air becomes far too dry. The combination of polluted and very dry air can create a serious threat to our health.

The air we breathe every day is increasingly filled with harmful substances. House dust, mites, pollen, tobacco and countless other particles encourage allergic reactions and respiratory diseases. The number of allergy sufferers increases  dramatically with the levels of air pollution. Today, every third person suffers from an allergy. Even the business world is affected: more than 30% of workplace absences are caused by respiratory diseases. So, it isn’t surprising that the American The air we breathe every day is increasingly filled with harmful substances.

The number of allergy sufferers increases  dramatically with the levels of air pollution. Today, every third person suffers from an allergy. Even the business world is affected: more than 30% of workplace absences are caused by respiratory diseases. So, it isn’t surprising that the American Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lists the effects of indoor pollutants among the top five environmental health threats.

It’s high time for better air

An efficient air purifier or air washer improves room air and protects the health, particularly when appliances are fitted with HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters, originally developed for use in clinical settings. These filters are capable of removing 99.97% of particles as small as 0.0003mm from the air. When an active carbon filter is included, odors, fumes and noxious gases are simultaneously removed.

There is a tremendous advantage to having proper humidity levels indoors. Dry air encourages the formation of dust and electrostic charges on furnishings. Proper humidity levels actually cause sand and dust to bind together and therefore reduces the amount of dust in the air.
