Babies And Asthma

One of the toughest things to watch is a baby struggling for air for any reason. If it’s your baby and the struggle is due to asthma, reducing exposure to triggers is one of the best things you can do.

Asthma triggers are generally a combination of gaseous and particulate pollutants. Dust, dust mites, mold and mildews spores, and pet dander. Gaseous pollutants can result from decorating the nursery and things like paint fumes, wallpaper adhesive, new furniture and new carpet.

The ideal cleaner should be able to eliminate both gaseous and particulate pollutants. The best filters to have would be a HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filter and a carbon based filter.

PurerAir.com offers an air purifier that contains both a HEPA filter that can eliminate particles as small as .3 microns in size and carbon cloth. Carbon cloth is able to eliminate both gaseous and particulate pollutants. The carbon takes care of the gases and the fact that the filter is woven means it gives extra protection against particles.

HEGA And HEPA Filters---What’s the Difference?

If you are trying to improve indoor air quality HEGA and HEPA are terms you will encounter again and again.

Knowing what these terms mean will help. And matching them with your needs will put you on the right track towards effectively cleaning your air.

HEGA is an acronym for high efficiency gas adsorption. The first letter of each word is used as a shortened knick name. This type of filter is able to eliminate gaseous pollutants such as gases, odors, and airborne chemicals. This is great for removing noxious chemicals, smoke, and cooking odors to mention a few.

HEPA is an acronym for high efficiency particle arresting. To be designated as such, it must be able to remove 99.97% of airborne particles that are .3 microns or greater in size. A micron is defined as one millionth of a meter which is a lot smaller that the period at the end of this sentence.

The benefit of this type of filter is that for every 10,000 airborne particles, it will remove 99,997 of them. This is a good filter for removing airborne dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, pet dander, bacteria and viruses. These are all pretty typical indoor pollutants and so this filter can substantially improve indoor air.

Some purifiers come with one or the other type of filter. This means that the cleaner can remove gases but not particles, or particles not gases. The best type of cleaner is one that can multi-task by removing both solid and gaseous pollutants.

PurerAir.com offers such a cleaner. And because of its ability to remove a wide variety of pollutants it’s a great way to manage allergies. See it now at http://purerair.com/allergy_machine.html

Hair Salon Air Purifier

Working in a full service beauty salon that offers cutting edge procedures for hair and nails can be exciting.

Unfortunately, it can also mean that you are being constantly exposed to the volatile organic chemicals that off gas from many of the products that are the means to the glamorous end.

Your customers are exposed to these fumes as well and many times you can smell a salon before you see it.

But working in a salon day after day puts you at greater risk because of the amount and frequency of exposure.

Using a portable air purifier that is specifically designed to remove chemicals and that you control can be an effective solution.

And in order for it to be effective at removing chemicals, it should have a carbon based filter that is enhanced with an additive to improve the carbon’s ability to remove heavy duty chemicals that result from many salon procedures.

Multiple filters for salon-related particles (hair, nail dust) as well as normal indoor particles (dust and airborne bacteria and viruses that attach to them) are also helpful in really clearing the air of particulates which can cause problems for staff and clients.

Particle Filters And Allergies

If you suffer from airborne allergies that are triggered by dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, pet dander and seasonal pollen, the best way to reduce symptoms is to avoid the triggers.

Since most of us spend more than 90% of our lives indoors, and most indoor spaces have some if not all of these particles in the air, avoiding them is nearly impossible.

What you can do is continually filter the air with an air purifier that has multiple filters for different sized particles. Since indoor particles come in different sizes multiple filters will add longevity to life of your filters. Counting on one filter to remove all particles and last a long time is unrealistic.

The fact is that the more filters you have the longer you can expect filtration to be effective and the less maintenance the unit is likely to need.

Several size pre-filters, a HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filter, as well as carbon cloth that can eliminate particles and gases is a winning combination in a filter for allergies.

PurerAir.com offers an air cleaner with these 4 filters, low maintenance, and a 5-year prorated filter warranty. See it now at http://purerair.com/allergy_machine.html

Avian Air Purifier

If you have an avian friend as part of your family, you certainly spend a lot of time trying to provide it with the best life possible. And one of the most important things to provide is clean air.

Normal indoor air is frequently full of dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, seasonal pollen as well as bacteria and viruses. Add a bird to the mix, and you’ve got air that is heavy with pollutants.

Birds have tiny air passages. Air that is thick with particulate and gaseous pollutants can cause serious problems.

In fact some gases are lethal, and breathing air that is full of particles can clog their airways.

Clogged airways are often the beginning of disease and infection. Birds instinctively hide signs of weakness that would indicate illness. As a result, many times by the time your bird shows signs of an illness, it is already too late to reverse the effects.

Using an air purifier to proactively clear the air is effective yet non-invasive. The best type of technology to use for particles is HEPA filtration. This type of filter is the same kind they use in hospitals, and can remove particulates as small as .3 microns.

Carbon cloth is another important filter to have because of its dual function. Not only is it able to remove noxious odors, gases and airborne chemicals but it can also give additional protection against particles since it is woven like cloth.

PurerAir.com offers an air cleaner that is safe for birds and can remove particles and gaseous pollutants from the air. See it now at http://purerair.com/bird_dust_air_purifier.html

Tobacco Smoke Air Purifier

If you are a smoker or live with a smoker you are breathing particles and chemicals that result from the burning of the cigarette. This makes the air unhealthy not only for the smoker, but for those who are forced to breathe the air that results.

One of the by products from smoking is tiny almost microscopic particles. These float in the air for a while but eventually settle on furniture and upholstery if they are not inhaled by you and those who live or work with the smoker.

You may feel that there is very little you can do to get out of the way of the smoke. Short of asking the smoker to leave and never smoke again or moving, you are being forced to breathe air that is unhealthy at best.Continuous filtration with the right kinds of particle and chemical filters can help.

Nothing beats having the smoker stop smoking, but an air purifier with carbon cloth, a HEPA filter and several pre-filters will go a long way towards clearing the air.

PurerAir.com offers a Smoke Air Purifier that will give your lungs a break. See it now at http://purerair.com/smoke_air_purifier.html

Pet Hair Air Purifier

If the cold weather has forced you and your warm-blooded pets indoors, you’re probably seeing pet hair everywhere.

Since most furry animals are programmed to thicken their coats with less sunlight and colder temperatures, you’re probably not imagining the increase in hair.

Shaking it out, having it come out when it rubs against you, or just having it groom itself can send hair airborne continuously, only to have it float down on the dinner table or someplace else which proves to be hugely embarrassing.

You can stop the continuous shower of pet hair from dogs, cats, bunnies, ferrets, and other loveable creatures by filtering the air as continuously as they send it into the air. This means using a purifier that is designed to run 24 hours. In order to do this the motor needs to be a split capacitor that can run continuously without worries about safety.

An effective cleaner for pet hair also needs to use HEPA filtration. This type of technology produces only fresh, clean air without worries of ozone or ionized particles. It is also recognized as the best technology for particle removal and is used by hospitals to insure clean air

By definition a high efficiency particle arresting filter must be able to remove all but 3 particles out of every 10,000 that are .3 microns or larger in size. The wonderful thing about this filter is that it really doesn’t care whether the particles are pet related or not.

That means it will remove more normal household pollutants such as dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, seasonal pollen, and the dander or dead skin flakes found on pet hair.

All of these particles are the stuff allergy and asthma flare-ups are made of. Being able to remove them in addition to pet hair is a real bonus.
