Airborne Allergen Control
Good
health starts with healthy air. But many of us suffer from airborne
allergens and irritants. Allergens have various indoor sources, like
pets, plants, fungi spores and house dust mites. The Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that the air in our homes and offices
is two to five times as polluted as outdoor air. Since we spend over
90% of our time indoors, controlling airborne allergens and irritants
indoors can make a significant contribution towards reducing our overall
exposure.
The first steps in any allergy and asthma avoidance strategy is to
identify and control the sources of allergens. Unfortunately, it is
not always possible or practical to eliminate allergen and other indoor
air pollution sources. That's where a high-performance air cleaner
can make an important contribution. A good air cleaning device can
dramatically improve the air quality in your home by constantly filtering
out allergens and other irritants from the room air.
But
with so many different air cleaners out there, how do you evaluate
which air cleaner is best for you? Information about air cleaners
is often confusing and misleading.
IQAir ® believes in giving you detailed and accurate information. We are confident
that when you take a closer look at IQAir ® 's certified performance
and guarantees, you'll know exactly why the HealthPro ® is the air cleaner
for you.
Not All Air Cleaners Are Created Equal...
and not all air cleaners produce the same clean air results. The ability
to capture and retain microscopic particles varies widely among ordinary
air cleaners, including true HEPA air cleaners. The HealthPro ® is so
efficient in removing these tiny particles that even sophisticated
measuring equipment, using laser technology, will find virtually no
particles in the HealthPro's clean air stream.
Actual, Not Just Theoretical Efficiency
Efficiency statements of many air cleaners look impressive at first
glance. Air cleaners with HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Arrestance)
filters often advertise efficiencies of 99.97% for particles of 0.3
microns (that's about 240 times smaller than the width of a human
hair) and larger. However, these claims are based on the theoretical
efficiency of the HEPA filter material used and not the actual clean
air produced by the air cleaner. System leakage and inferior construction
can reduce the actual particle filtration efficiency of HEPA air cleaners
to less than 50%.
