Indoor air pollution is a major concern for many people, as it can have a significant impact on their health and well-being. Harmful particles and pollutants can come from a variety of sources, including pet dander, dust mites, pollen, mold spores, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from cleaning products and other household items. These pollutants can aggravate allergies and asthma, causing symptoms like coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing.
Air purifiers can be an effective solution to indoor air pollution, as they work to remove these harmful particles and pollutants from the air. They use various types of filters, such as HEPA filters, activated carbon filters, and UV-C light filters, to capture and remove pollutants from the air.
HEPA filters, such as the HyperHEPA filter used in the IQAir HealthPro series, are particularly effective at capturing small particles, such as pollen, dust, and skin particles. Activated carbon filters are also used to capture VOCs and other gasses, while UV-C light filters will help remove bacteria and viruses from the air.
By removing these particle pollutants from the air, air purifiers can help lessen the impact of allergy and asthma symptoms, as well as improve sleep quality, leading to a better level of overall health. They can also help lower the risk of respiratory infections, such as the flu and COVID-19, by removing airborne viruses and bacteria from the air.
