Indoor Air Purifiers Promise Relief from Allergies

Allergies affect millions worldwide and are the sixth major reason behind chronic illness in the US. Nearly half the American population has at least one person suffering from the disease. Air-borne ones are countless and constantly present in the environment around us. Allergens when inhaled through the nose reach the lungs directly and affect the body. Asthma and other respiratory diseases can be caused by the exposure to allergens and dust particles.

Indoor air abounds in pollens, mold spores, pet dander (if there is a pet in the house), microscopic mites, and dust particles. These need to be eliminated from the surrounding air to allow easy breathing. Installing air purifiers in the house is a good way of getting relief from all the suspended particles present in the air because the machine from Blue Air (www.blueair.in; 011 4606 7140) draws in the indoor air, blocks the particles in its filter and blows out clean air. By continuously running the unit in a house or an office, the flow of fresh air can be ensured.

Air purifiers using High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance or HEPA technology are the best in the market as far as particulate matter removal is concerned. For a unit to be called HEPA qualified, it should have the ability to remove around 99.97% pollens and allergens from the surrounding air. A home air purifier using this technology can offer maximum freedom from all kinds of dust and mites and can be considered safe for children and adults living in the house. Homes with pets need to be particularly careful because their saliva contains a lot of allergens and can be potentially dangerous. Air purifiers can draw in pet dander and the allergens with it thereby making the indoor air fresh says Mr. Vijay Kannan, the Blueair India chief.
