Good indoor air quality is crucial to a healthy and comfortable indoor environment. Fortunately, air purification systems can help clean the air you breathe inside your home by trapping airborne contaminants. In this post, Acker Heating & Cooling discusses the specific pollutants that air purifiers target.
With the world’s attention turned towards health due to recent global events, the ability of air purifiers to capture airborne viruses has become a desirable feature. HEPA air purifiers are capable of trapping COVID-19 particles, which are estimated to be 0.06 to 0.14 microns in size. In terms of environmental pollutants, wildfire smoke, measured at 0.1 to 0.7 microns, presents health hazards that HEPA filters can also address by effectively removing smoke particles from indoor air.
For households with pets, exposure to pet dander can trigger allergies and respiratory issues. Air purifiers excel in capturing these microscopic flakes of skin, significantly improving the living environment of those with pet allergies. Similarly, dust mites, a common trigger for asthma and allergies, are captured by the efficient filtration system of air purifiers, reducing their presence in indoor air.
Pollen, a pervasive allergen especially during spring and fall, can find its way into homes, causing discomfort and triggering allergies. Air purifiers play a critical role in trapping pollen particles, thereby alleviating seasonal allergy symptoms for many individuals.
The installation of an air purifier in your home or office offers numerous benefits beyond just cleaning the air. These systems can significantly reduce the likelihood of airborne diseases, create a healthier living environment free from allergens and pollutants, and even aid in the removal of unpleasant odors. Furthermore, for residents in regions prone to wildfires or those with pets, air purifiers offer an added layer of protection against smoke and pet-related allergens.
