Home Air Purifiers - 3 Signs That You Need An Air Purifier In Your Home

There is so much talk these days about indoor air pollutants and the negative effects that they have on our health and overall quality of life. But how can you tell if you need an air purifier.

Here are 3 easy signs to look for, and the presence of any one of them is likely an indication that your indoor air quality and overall health could be improved by using an air purifier in your home.

Appearance- This sign is not aimed at how well you've chosen paint colors for your rooms, or how neat or not so neat you keep your home. This is about what you see on the furniture around you. Does your home seem to need constant dusting? Are there wisps of pet hair floating in the air? Are you able to see a myriad of fine particle suspended in the air when the sun shines through the windows?

If you've answered yes to any of these questions it probably means that there are a lot of particulates in the air. Without an air purifier, your lungs are filtering what you breathe. Think of the number of breaths you take when you are at home each day.

Even if we estimate that you only take in 100 sub-micron size particles with each breath, the daily total is staggering--not mention the monthly, or yearly totals. Cleaning the air can save your lungs and your health.

Smell- The best time to really tell what your house smells like is when you first walk in after having been gone for several hours. Is there pet odor? Can you still smell what you cooked for dinner last night? Are the scents from cleaning products in the air?

These smells can be a nuisance, but other smells from newly laid carpet, pressed wood furniture, and or new paint may contain volatile organic chemicals that are not only unpleasant but unhealthy. A cleaner that is specifically designed to remove airborne chemicals makes the air safer to breathe.

How You Feel- Home should be a place that relaxes you and that you enjoy, a place that rejuvenates your body and spirit. If, however, home makes you feel tired, or ill, or tends to give you headaches or leave you congested, your body is likely reacting to pollutants in the air that are triggering allergy-like symptoms. Whatever the pollutants, trust your body's objections (symptoms) to the pollutants and consider filtering your air with a HEPA air purifier.

Designed to remove not only particulates but gas and odors down to .3 microns, a portable high efficiency particle arresting air purifier will eliminate these 3 signs of poor indoor air quality in a matter of hours improving indoor air quality and quality of life for all who live there.
