Quality Home Air Purifiers -
Are You Considering One for Your Home?



Why our homes might need an Air Purifier.


Here’s the Problem -

The air inside our homes may be more dangerous to breathe than the air outside. We took a look at the specifics on the Indoor Air page.


Families are exposed to:

Particulates: pollen, ash, dust, and dead skin cells, pet dander, cigarette smoke.

Microbials: bacteria, fungi, dust, and mold in heating and air ducts, bathrooms,basements and kitchens.

Gases: smelly or odorless fumes escaping from carpets, drapes, furniture, cleansers,and more.

The Environmental Protection Agency called indoor air pollution one of the nation’s top environmental health concerns.




Air pollutants can cause or worsen:

  • Eye and skin irritation

  • Lung irritation

  • Nose and throat discomfort

  • Fatigue

  • Unpleasantness from offensive odors



What do I consider when looking for air purifiers ?


Nearly all particles in the air are submicron (that means they are not visible to the naked eye).

The treatment of your indoor air should include:

  • Reduction of airborne particulate matter

  • Reduction of airborne microorganisms

  • Reduction of cigarette smoke

  • Reduction of odors





Look for These Essential Qualifications -


  • Look for a unit which is proven to reduce all three indoor air pollutant groups (particulates, microbials and gases) in areas 500 square feet and larger.

  • Look for a unit which is proven to neutralize microbials and gases/odors.

  • Proven effectiveness with several years of testing, including independent lab test results.

  • Look for low maintenance.



    Consider This…


    Air purification treats the air, not people or medical conditions.

    • While asthma and allergy symptoms may be associated with the presence of microbials, such as mold spores, or airborne particulates, there is a complex of other issues associated with these health concerns.

    • Companies that claim their units they will treat symptoms of any disease or health-related condition should be avoided.

    • Purification Systems Work in different ways, so make sure you look at the science behind the unit you are considering.

    • Is it patented and proven?

    • Since a purification unit is an investment in your health, you want to make certain you are getting the best unit possible.



    The Finest in Quality Purification Systems for the Health of Your Home.
