Air Purifiers and Chemotherapy


Chemotherapy can weaken the body’s immune system making it next to impossible for it to fight off germs and infection.

The usual germs and pollutants can become deadly. The usual dust, dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, bacteria and viruses can all wreak havoc.

Using an air purifier with a high efficiency particle arresting (HEPA) air filter is one of the most effective and continuous ways to keep the air fresh and remove airborne pollutants that a weakened immune system can no longer handle.

This type of filter can remove 99,997 out of every 10,000 particles that are .3 microns or greater in size. A micron, defined as one millionth of a meter, is far smaller than the period at the end of this sentence.

Filtering the air 24 hours a day takes the pressure off of the immune system and gives you more of a chance of warding off secondary infections.

Air Purifiers and Chemotherapy


Chemotherapy is often necessary to eradicate cancer cells. Unfortunately it often kills the good cells as well as the cancer cells. Killing off the good cells means that the body is less able to fight off disease and infection on its own at a time when a good defense is crucial.

The body’s natural defense or the immune system is weakened by chemotherapy which makes a cancer patient more vulnerable to complications not directly related to the cancer. Many of these complications can be caused by bacteria and viruses, and the body’s sensitivity and over reaction to dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, and pet dander.

Creating a safe haven by filtering the air in your home is a proactive and non-invasive way to greatly increase your chances of staying healthy during and beyond chemotherapy. HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filtration is the same technology used in hospitals, so using it in your home makes a seamless transition from hospital to home.

PurerAir.com offers a portable HEPA air purifier that constantly removes 99,997 out of every 10,000 airborne particulates as small as .3 microns in size with 99.97% efficiency. Imagine how physically and emotionally soothing 250 cubic feet of filtered air being sent into your home every 60 seconds could be.
