Given how the indoors are more polluted than the outdoors, it’s more critical than ever to ensure the quality of the air inside homes and businesses. Air purifiers play a pivotal role in this, capturing a wide array of pollutants that can compromise indoor air quality. But what specific pollutants can these devices be able to capture and kill? American Refrigeration Heating and Air Conditioning Co., Inc. discusses more.
The Arsenal Against Allergens and Particles
Air purifiers are designed to battle a plethora of airborne pollutants. Foremost among these pollutants are allergens such as pollen, pet dander and dust mites — typical triggers of allergies and asthma attacks. These particulates, often invisible to the naked eye, can significantly impact one’s health and comfort. Air purifiers, especially those equipped with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters are exceptionally adept at capturing 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.
Protecting Against Microbial Threats
Some air purifiers can target microbial pollutants like mold spores and bacteria. These microorganisms can grow in damp areas of your home or any property if left unattended with enough moisture. Those with UV-C light technology can neutralize these pathogens and keep your indoor air quality in check.
Neutralizing Smoke and VOCs
Smoke contains a myriad of harmful chemicals and particulates. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), commonly emitted from household cleaning agents, paints and building materials, can further compromise indoor air quality. Air purifiers equipped with activated carbon filters or specific media designed to adsorb smoke particles and VOCs offer a safer, cleaner breathing environment for your family.
The Right Choice for Your Home
When selecting an air purifier, it’s crucial to choose a model that aligns with the specific needs of your environment and the pollutants prevalent in your area. Make sure to keep in mind the types of filters used, the size of the area to be purified and the specific contaminants you aim to target. These factors should guide you in making an informed decision.
