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

Hurricane Michael's path through large sections of Florida resulted in substantial damage and several deaths. Now, as residents of the affected areas are beginning to rebuild, the negative effects of the hurricane may continue in an entirely different way. Hurricanes are known to negatively impact air quality in the areas they strike, and Michael is not likely to be an exception. Here's what you need to know about how hurricanes can affect the air you breathe for weeks or even months after they are over if you live in an area that was impacted by Michael.  

  In What Ways Do Hurricanes Affect Air Quality?

  The main mechanism by which hurricanes harm air quality is the promotion of mold growth. By soaking homes and other buildings in rain and causing severe flooding, hurricanes can cause mold to spread quickly in places that would otherwise be too dry for it to grow. Aside from damaging homes, mold spores can act as an asthma trigger and pose health risks to people who are exposed to them.   Aside from mold, hurricanes can also increase the risk of exposure to formaldehyde. The widespread damage done by hurricanes typically requires extensive repair and renovation work. Unfortunately, many construction materials are treated with formaldehyde and other chemicals at some point in their manufacturing processes. As a result, when large-scale renovations are taking place all around you, your risk of exposure to airborne formaldehyde is substantially increased.  

  What Air Purifiers Are Best for Hurricane Damage Recovery?

  The air purifier you need to get through disaster recovery will depend on exactly which risks are most relevant to you. For heavy mold, we recommend the Airpura UV600 model, while high levels of formaldehyde are best dealt with using the Airpura F600. If you want general protection from a wide range of different contaminants that may be present in your home air after a hurricane, the all-purpose P600 model is an excellent choice. If you have questions about these or other models of air purifiers, please feel free to contact us for answers and personalized product recommendations.    

While you probably know that air purifiers can help improve the quality of the air in your home and help to keep yourself and your family healthy, there's a lot more information that you need to pick the right air purifier for your particular needs. This is especially true if you're buying an air purifier online, since you have to make a selection based on the relevant specifications of various units. Here are three key pieces of information you should have before deciding to buy an air purifier online.  

  The Size of Your Space

  Different air purifiers have different capacities in terms of the size of the space they are effective in. An air purifier that is perfect for a small apartment, for instance, may not be able to fill the needs of a full-size house. Before you decide on any particular air purifier, it's important to know how big a space you're trying to clean the air in. If you have a larger space, keep in mind that you can use more than one air purifier to provide comprehensive coverage.  

  What Kind of Maintenance You're Willing to Do

  Before buying an air purifier online, it's important to understand what kind of maintenance any given unit will need. If your unit has multiple filters, you'll need to change each of them out from time to time. Fortunately, we offer a convenient filter change calendar that will provide you with automatic reminders when it's time to order new filters for your air purifier. If you're looking for the absolute bare minimum in terms of maintenance, you can try a filterless air purifier as well.  

  What Contaminants You Need to Focus On

  Aside from covering different spaces, air purifiers also focus on different types of contaminants. HEPA air purifiers provide protection from particulates, while carbon filter units can eliminate gases, odors and VOCs. For all-around use, a purifier with both types of filters is usually the best option. If you are concerned about viruses and bacteria, you'll want an air purifier that features a UV germicidal lamp.   Knowing these three things before buying an air purifier online can help you narrow down your options and choose the right unit for your needs. If you need help picking out an air purifier, please feel free to contact us, and we'll be happy to provide you with recommendations based on your unique requirements.

New research over the past few years has linked air pollution to an ever-growing list of medical disorders. Now, thanks to a study published by a team from St. George's University in London, the list of conditions linked with low air quality has been expanded to include dementia. Here's what you need to know about the link between air pollution and dementia.  

  How Closely Are Air Pollution and Dementia Linked?

  The study was conducted in areas throughout London in an effort to measure how much of an effect higher levels of air pollution would have on rates of dementia diagnosis. For those living in high-pollution areas, the results were startling. Residents who lived in areas that ranked in the top 20 percent in terms of air pollution were 40 percent more likely to be diagnosed with dementia than those who lived in neighborhoods ranked in the bottom 20 percent. This finding shows that air pollution and dementia share a strong correlation.  

  How Does Air Pollution Contribute to Dementia?

  At the moment, scientists don't fully understand the link between air pollution and dementia. Research in rodents suggests that pollution increases production of a peptide in the brain that can cause neurodegeneration. The exact mechanism that causes this, however, hasn't yet been explained.  

  Protecting Yourself From Air Pollution

  If you live in a heavily polluted area, the link with dementia is just one among many reasons to take steps to protect yourself from air pollution. You can limit your exposure to air pollution by using a home air purifier. The best air purifiers for air pollution use a combination of HEPA and carbon filters, as this combination can remove both gases and particles from the air. Although the problem of air pollution is a large and complex one that likely won't be solved anytime soon, using an air purifier can at least help to protect you in your home.   Have questions about which air purifier is right for your needs?
