Reducing Air Pollution With The Ionic Air Purifier

Having a quality home air purifier is important these days, especially if you or someone in your family suffers from asthma, allergies or other respiratory disorders.

If you like to have the latest in state-of-the-art technology, then an ionic air purifier might be a good choice for an air purification system in your home.

Once Sharper image brought the ionic air purifier to market with a bang, other manufacturers have jumped on the bandwagon to bring their brands out, with some differences, but based on the same idea.

One of the main distinctions between HEPA air cleaners and ionic purifiers is that the ionic machines do not rely on filters that get clogged and have to be replaced.

You will be able to enjoy the highest level of efficiency from your ionic air purifier if you make sure that the doors and windows in the home are kept closed.

Doing this will allow the air cleaner to remove the particulates in the home without constantly introducing new contaminants into the environment.

Capturing Contaminated Debris With A HEPA Air Purifier

A tightly sealed home is a great thing in terms of energy savings and efficiency and for eliminating drafts.

But, this same efficiency causes problems in other areas, namely indoor air pollution which can have detrimental effects on your health. A HEPA air purifier is one of the best ways to counter that problem.

Due to these stringent requirements, HEPA air purifier filters are able to capture the bulk of the contaminated debris in the air, leaving only the tiniest particles to remain.

It should also be remembered that size is an important factor in HEPA filters. The greater the amount of HEPA material in the filter, the greater the capacity for removing contaminants.

Size, material and construction quality all have bearing on how well the HEPA air purifier performs, as well as the cost of replacement filters.

Eliminating The Main Air Pollutants With HEPA Air Cleaners

HEPA is a standard for air filtering. It was established by the Atomic Energy Commission, originally with the purpose to develop a high standard for removing radioactive particles from the air.

Although no longer considered in those terms, HEPA is still the common standard by which the effectiveness of HEPA air cleaners can be assured.

HEPA air cleaners are considered to be the most effective filters for eliminating the main pollutants that cause health problems and increase the risk of asthma, allergies and even cancer.

Some types of particulates that are filtered out by HEPA air purifier systems are dust mites and their feces, dead skin cells, pollen, pet dander and mold, to name a few.

Most HEPA air cleaners these days are very energy efficient, which is helpful since they need to be running 24 hours a day in order to be effective.

However, the replacement of filters can be costly over the years, so before you decide what which model to buy, be sure to also compare the cost of the replacement filters.
