Top Quality Air Purifiers and Healthy Home Solutions that You Can Trust

Aura Air is an innovative air purifier company focused on providing clean air through the use of smart air quality sensors and high-quality filtration. The company's units detect the quality of the air around them and then adjust their settings to improve it. This approach sets Aura Air apart and makes it one of the most interesting new air purifier brands on the market today. Here's what you need to know about the lineup of Aura Air purifiers and their features.  

Aura Air Mini Air Purifier

 

  One of Aura Air's innovative products is its Mini Air Purifier. This purifier can easily fit into a bag or purse and provides coverage for up to 107 square feet of space. The Aura Air Mini also uses bipolar ionization technology, making it a low-maintenance option for clean air on the go.  

Product Highlights

 

• 107 square foot coverage capacity
• 5-6 hours of battery life
• 4.5x3x3 inch size, weighing just 0.7 pounds
• Unique adaptive ionizer technology

  The Aura Air Mini's ionizer technology is surprisingly powerful for such a small unit. This tiny air purifier automatically detects particles in the air around you, then releases the right levels of positive and negative ions to combat viruses, bacteria, mold spores and other potential health hazards.   In addition to this powerful technology, the Aura Air Mini also features a traditional prefilter to remove hair, dirt, dander, pollen and other large particles. Together, these two approaches to air cleaning make the Aura Air Mini an excellent solution for clean air on the go.  

Aura Air Smart Air Purifier and Monitor

 

  A big brother to the Mini, Aura Air's Smart Air Purifier is a combination air purifier and indoor air quality monitor. This unit's 4-stage filtration makes it a good choice for targeting a wide range of different pollutants, while its monitoring capabilities will allow you to gain insights into the quality of your home air.  

Product Highlights

 

• 600 square foot coverage capacity
• 99.998 percent effective against SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A viruses
• UV-C germicidal LEDs
• Ability to integrate multiple units through add-on software dashboard

  The Aura Air Smart Air Purifer's filtration system begins with a standard prefilter for large particles. Next is Aura Air's patented HEPA Ray filter, which uses specialized antibacterial filter material to target everything from germs to fine particulate matter. A set of UVC LEDs then cleanse the air passing through the purifier with germicidal UV-C light, allowing it to further target germs, viruses and mold spores. The Smart Air Purifier also features the same adaptive ionization technology as the Mini.   Beyond its powerful filtration, The Aura Air Smart Air Purifier can be used as an indoor air quality monitor when connected to a WiFi network. Using Aura Air's dashboard software (see below), the Smart Air Purifier can deliver helpful insights on your indoor air quality. This dashboard can also be used to connect multiple units in a commercial setting, school or large home.   A final unique feature of the Smart Air Purifier is the fact that it can monitor outdoor air quality simultaneously. With this capability, the air purifier can detect the pollutants that are most common outside your home at any given moment and adjust its settings accordingly. This, combined with its indoor air quality sensors, adds an extra layer of data-driven protection.  

Aura Air Enterprise Dashboard

 

  As noted above, the Aura Air Enterprise Dashboard allows you to get the most from your Aura Air Smart Air Purifier. This software package allows you to monitor and manage your air purifiers from a single, user-friendly dashboard. In this dashboard, you'll see readings of temperature, humidity, fine particulate matter and other air quality factors. This software is highly recommended as an add-on when purchasing an Aura Air Smart Air Purifier, as it will enable the most efficient use of your unit.   Note: When purchasing software, we recommend one software package per Smart Air Purifier you are using. All units can be monitored from a single dashboard, but each requires its own connected software package.  

Aura Air Purifier Stands

 

  In addition to high-tech air purifiers and software, Aura Air also offers two air purifier stands to hold your Smart Air Purifier. The smaller stand is 14.7 inches high and is meant for desks, tables or travel use. The larger stand is meant for free-standing floor use and is 35.1 inches tall. Both stands are easy to assemble and require no drilling or installation.   With its focus on technology and user-friendly convenience, Aura Air has created a line of intuitive air purifiers that can help to provide you with clean air at home or on the go.

Researchers over the last several years have produced a large body of work tying air pollution to a wide range of chronic diseases. These include, but are not limited to, diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, asthma and even some cancers. Recently, a team of researchers added to our understanding of the effects of air pollution by demonstrating a connection between air pollution and osteoporosis. Here's what you need to know about this new research and what it could mean for those living in highly polluted areas.  

What Did Researchers Find About the Link Between Air Pollution and Osteoporosis?

  The research team examined bone scans of about 9,000 American women. The scans were taken at intervals over a 6-year period, for a total of three scans for each woman. Using this data, the researchers could track the rate at which the women lost bone density over the studied time frame.   This data was then compared to air quality data from the areas in which the women lived. The researchers found that women living in more heavily polluted areas suffered from bone loss at about twice the rate of those living in areas with cleaner air. Nitrogen dioxide, a common component of air pollution, was identified as a key driver of accelerated osteoporosis.  

What Are the Implications of This Research?

  The finding that higher levels of air pollution could be contributing to rapid bone density loss in older women could have significant public health implications. As people continue to live longer, degenerative diseases like osteoporosis become larger and larger problems. Bone fractures resulting from low bone density can also significantly inhibit mobility, reduce quality of life and add to late-life medical costs.   This research is the latest in a long string of findings that suggest that air pollution is reducing overall health among those who are heavily exposed. While public policy will need to shift to address this issue across the board, individuals can still give themselves a degree of protection at home with residential air purifiers.   For those living in heavily polluted areas, we recommend the use of air purifiers that feature both HEPA and carbon filtration. Some of our top units include the Amaircare 3000 VOC, Field Controls TRIO Pro and Airpura G600. Although outdoor air pollution still poses health risks, using a high-quality air purifier at home can offer some additional protection from harmful contaminants.   Have questions about air purifiers or which unit is right for you?

Air quality has become a point of national attention in recent weeks as a controlled chemical fire from a train derailment near East Palestine, Ohio has raised health and safety concerns among nearby residents. This fire has created a vast plume of thick, black smoke that could potentially be introducing toxic compounds into the air nearby. Here's what you need to know about the chemicals that are being burned in the East Palestine fire and how they could affect human health.  

What Chemicals Are Burning in the Ohio Chemical Fire?

  The train carried multiple chemicals, but the controlled burn that has become a national news story involved vinyl chloride. The most notable use of this chemical is in the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a widely used building material.   According to the CDC, exposure to vinyl chloride gas can affect the central nervous system, as well as cause irritation of the eyes and respiratory system. Chronic exposure can result in liver damage and/or cancer of the liver. Through its effect on the nervous system, vinyl chloride can cause headaches, dizziness and fatigue, among other symptoms.  

What Are Officials Saying About Air Quality Near East Palestine?

  Despite widespread concerns among residents and local officials (see below), the EPA maintains that the controlled burn of vinyl chloride has not had a substantial effect on air quality in the area. The agency says that it has tested air quality in 500 individual homes and found them to be safe for human habitation. The EPA has also deployed mobile and stationary air quality monitoring in the area to identify potential health hazards. Thus far, the EPA says that it has not found any significant evidence that the vinyl chloride being burned near the train has contributed to unhealthy air conditions.  

Why Others Aren't So Sure

  Despite the EPA's official stance that the train derailment in East Palestine hasn't created unsafe air quality conditions, anecdotal reports from locals and statements from outside researchers both leave room for doubt. Several residents have reported suffering from rashes and headaches, both of which can result from exposure to vinyl chloride.   Experts from the Yale School of Medicine have also criticized the EPA's methodology, calling it insufficiently targeted. Because the agency's monitoring focuses on classes of chemicals rather than targeting individual toxins, it's possible that the air quality monitoring being done in the area is missing unusually high levels of specific compounds. This raises the possibility of East Palestine residents being exposed to airborne toxins, even though the EPA's data suggests the air is safe.  

Should Residents of the East Palestine Area Use Air Purifiers?

  Due to the uncertain nature of the situation and the questions surrounding whether toxins are or aren't accumulating in the area around East Palestine, it's not possible to say that air purifiers will be beneficial to those in the affected areas. Those who wish to buy air purifiers for an added measure of protection, however, should consider investing in units that feature both HEPA and high-quality carbon filtration. Some of the units that meet these standards include the Airpura P600+, Airpura C600DLX and AllerAir Pro 5 HD Vocarb.   Ultimately, it could be several more months or even years before a clear picture of the environmental impacts of this train derailment emerges. Targeted air quality studies conducted over long periods of time will be needed to generate more precise air pollution data.

Choosing an air purifier can be difficult, as different models offer different types of filtration and specific features. Luckily, there's now a way for you to create your own custom air purifier, courtesy of US Air Purifiers LLC. With our new build your own air purifier option, based on the Airpura P-series line, you can choose your own features and filters to create exactly the air purifier you want.   This custom air purifier program is an exclusive offer available only at US Air Purifiers! Through this system, we can help you combine the features you want into the best air purifier for your personal needs. Here's what you need to know about creating your very own custom Airpura air purifier with US Air Purifiers.  

Why Choose a Custom Air Purifier?

  Customizing your own air purifier allows you to select the best combination of features for your needs. With our custom P-series air purifier, you can select the features you want without having to pay for those you don't. Alternatively, you can select upgraded versions of each feature to optimize filtration across a wide range of contaminants. Whatever direction you decide on, you're in full control of the final product you receive!  

What Features Can You Customize?

  When building your own Airpura P-Series air purifier, you get to choose the color, motor type, prefilter type, HEPA tightness and carbon filter type. You can also select an optional TiO2 upgrade for your HEPA filter. With this range of options, you can create an air purifier that most effectively targets the contaminants you're concerned about.   Step 1: Choose a Color- You can select from either black or white, depending on what best matches your home decor.   Step 2: Choose Your Motor- After choosing between black and white for your color, you'll select the motor type for your custom air purifier. There are two motor options, dubbed the 6-series and the 7-series: 6-series: Airpura's longtime standard motor 7-series: An upgraded version that can move a bit more air volume and runs slightly more quietly on lower settings.   Step 3: Choose a Prefilter- You can choose from three different prefilter types: Tar barrier: Best for targeting cigarette smoke and VOG Premium cotton prefilter Standard polyester prefilter All options will come with a cover that matches the color you selected for your unit in the first step.   Step 4: Select the tightness of your HEPA filter- This is one of the most important steps in creating your custom air purifier. You can choose between two types of HEPA filters: 00 HEPA: A standard filter that is 99.97 percent effective against particles greater than 0.3 microns in diameter. 14 HEPA: Increases the efficacy to 99.99 percent at 0.1 microns. Both filters are the same size, but the 14 HEPA is more tightly woven to improve its effectiveness in targeting the smallest solid particles.   Step 5: Optional Titanium Dioxide Upgrade- This option increases the range of chemicals, gases and VOCs that your air purifier can effectively target. It also helps in neutralizing germs and viruses. The TiO2 upgrade is based on technology originally developed by NASA and can help make your air purifier more effective against a wide range of contaminants.   Step 6: Choose Your Carbon Filter Type- The final step in customizing your air purifier is choosing the type of carbon filter you want. For this step, you'll have the options of R, V and F carbon: R-carbon: Standard carbon filter used widely on Airpura air purifiers: V-carbon: Treated with potassium iodide and can target more contaminants, including exhaust fumes. F-carbon: The most effective of Airpura's carbon filters, can target a wide range of VOCs plus formaldehyde thanks to being treated with potassium permanganate.   Have more questions about creating your custom air purifier or which features are right for you?
