With colder weather here and the pandemic still ongoing, many of us will be spending even more time in our homes than ever. Since indoor air is not circulated as much as the air outside, the levels of indoor air pollutants are often 2 to 5 times higher than outdoor levels. This is where an air purifier can help improved the indoor air quality (IAQ) of your home.
Some of the benefits of using an air purifier:
-
Eliminates Harmful Chemicals - There are many external pollutants like nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide that can sometimes get inside your home. These gases are commonly found in areas of high motor vehicle traffic. By using an air purifier with activated carbon can help clean these chemical contaminants from your home, avoiding the risk of several health problems.
-
Neutralizes Odors - Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) create an off-gassing odour that is commonly found in paints, aerosol sprays, upholstered furniture, or even air fresheners. These odours can cause nausea, breathlessness, and even affect your cognitive functions. An air purifier will help absorb these VOC odours from your home.
-
Reduces the Chances of Airborne Diseases - Airborne diseases such as the common cold and flu are spread through tiny pathogens floating around. With everyone breathing the same air that’s infected most times everyone in your household might catch it. Air purifiers with HEPA filters can help capture these bacteria and viruses, slowing them from spreading.
-
Relieves Symptoms of Asthma - Approximately 1 in 13 people live with asthma and pollutants such as pet dander, pollen, or dust mites can irritate their airways, causing difficulty breathing. A HEPA filter can capture these pollutants leaving you with cleaner air.
-
Help Improve Sleep - Indoor allergens (such as bacteria, fungi, and dust mites) can trigger allergies or hay fever causing frequent sneezing, coughing, nose congestion, watery eyes, or common allergic symptoms that can disrupt your sleep. Clean purified air can help give you a better night’s rest.
