Five Ways an Air Filtration System Can Keep Your Home Healthy
Keeping a home healthy and clean can lessen allergies and help prevent asthma attacks. With children and pets in the home, however, keeping a house free of airborne irritants can be especially difficult. Though kids can track in dirt on their shoes and regularly have accidents with spilled food and drinks, they can also be more susceptible to allergies and asthma. Pediatricians and allergists alike recommend keeping a dust-free home, keeping pet hair and dander to a minimum, and minimizing moisture in the home to cut down on airborne allergens and asthma-aggravating particles. Here’s how to accomplish these feats with the use of an air purifying system such as an Aprilaire humidifier.
1. Dust particles are minimized. Dust is made of dead skin cells and other particles that are so lightweight that they can easily become airborne and breathed in. They can be kicked up into the air with dusting, vacuuming, and from simply walking on the carpet. Though none of these activities should be avoided, the fact is that they can actually cause more problems for allergy and asthma sufferers. An air filtration system takes in the contaminated, dusty air in the home and passes it through a special filter where it is trapped, thus releasing clean air into the home.
2. Mold spores are eliminated. Mold is one of the greatest respiratory irritants in the home. It can develop from pet accidents on the carpet, drink spills, or from excess moisture in the air (bathrooms and kitchens are particular offenders). A Whole-House Air Cleaning System, such as an Aprilaire humidifier for example, can actually remove the excess moisture from the air to help inhibit the growth of mold and remove the existing airborne spores from the air.
3. Pet dander is cleaned from the air. Doing without pets is one option for many households with family members who have allergies and asthma. However, that may not be necessary if an entire air purifying system is installed into the home’s central heating and air conditioning system. Pet dander that is airborne can get into the nose, throat and lungs and cause health problems. However, air purifiers remove this pet dander from the air, thus helping reduce allergy and asthma symptoms immediately.
4. Bacteria are reduced. An air cleaning system catches bacteria in the air and doesn’t allow it to be re-circulated into the home. In addition, ultra-violet light lamps can be added to the internal system where the intake of the air comes in. The UV lamp then kills the germs as they pass through the light, thus trapping them and cleaning the air. Bacteria-free air is obviously a good idea for breathing, but in the flu and cold season, proper hand washing along with a UV germicidal air purifier such as an Aprilaire humidifiercan help prevent the spread of illnesses.
5. Dust mites can no longer flourish in the home. Though they cannot be completely eliminated with an air purifying system, they can be reduced greatly. Since dust mites are one of the most reactive allergens in people with allergies and asthma, reducing their presence in the air will drastically reduce attacks.
Cleaning the old air and replacing it with fresh, clean air will reduce dust particles, mold spores, pet dander, bacteria, and dust mites from the home. These simple changes can bring a better quality of life for those who suffer from serious allergy and asthma symptoms. Install one today for a cleaner, healthier home!
