To solve the convenience problem that this presents to some people, Airfree has come up with a line of filterless air purifiers designed to eliminate air purifier maintenance once and for all. One of these units is the Airfree Tulip, a small space air purifier that is an excellent unit for many different uses.  

  Airfree Tulip Features and Function

  The Airfree Tulip covers 450 square feet, making it ideal for small spaces such as bedrooms and offices, as well as for covering smaller apartments. Rather than a filter, the Tulip makes use of a heated core to eliminate various contaminants from the air that passes through it. This core brings the temperature in a very small space within the Airfree Tulip up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. At this temperature, mold spores, viruses, bacteria, dust, dander and pollen are destroyed, leaving the air clean and free from particulate contaminants.   In addition to being a great filterless air purifier, the Airfree Tulip is also designed to be an attractive element of your home decor. The slim, low-profile air purifier has a modern look topped off with a color-changing light at the top. With this award-winning design, the small Airfree Tulip will fit seamlessly into your decor without drawing undue attention to itself.  

  Who Is the Airfree Tulip Best For?

  With its powerful ability to remove contaminants and its maintenance-free technology, the Tulip is an excellent air purifier for many different applications and types of users. Senior citizens, in particular, find the filterless air purifier technology to be extremely convenient and easy to manage. Other users who can benefit for the Tulip's convenience and abilities include:

Here at US Air Purifiers, we've written extensively about the negative effects that air pollution can have on people who are exposed to it on a regular basis. Recently, we were made aware that the area in and around Long Beach, California, suffers from very high levels of air pollution that may be harming residents there. Here's what you need to know about the low air quality in Long Beach and what air purifiers are best for people living in the area.  

  How Bad is the Air Quality in Long Beach?

  According to a recent report by the California Environmental Protection Agency, several of the ZIP codes in and around Long Beach fall in the top five percent of areas with most health risks as a result of pollution. ZIP codes 90813, 90810 and 90815 have particularly high pollution levels. While other parts of Long Beach aren't quite as bad, poor air quality is fairly ubiquitous throughout the city.   The state's report found parallels between the level of pollution in several Long Beach ZIP codes and their incidence of both low birth weight and asthma. Major pollutants that contribute to the low air quality in Long Beach and the surrounding areas include particulate matter from diesel engines, ozone and pesticides. Each pollutant introduces its own health risks and adds to the air quality problems faced by the area.  

  What Air Purifiers Do We Recommend?

  If you live in Long Beach or one of the surrounding communities, an air purifier is a great way to protect yourself from the high levels of air pollution in those areas. Our top four recommended units for use in these areas are:  

•   Airpura P600+
•   Amaircare 3000 VOC
•   Austin Air HealthMate Plus
•   IQAir GC Multigas

  If you live in Long Beach or any other area that is heavily affected by pollution, it's important to protect yourself.

Although there are many great air purifiers for asthma and allergies, there are some that stand out above the rest. One of these is the Airpura I600, a top-of-the-line HEPA unit that is perfect for users who suffer from severe asthma or allergies brought on by particulate matter in the air. Here's what you should know about this hidden gem from Airpura and how it can help keep the air in your home safer and cleaner than standard HEPA units.  

  What Sets the Airpura I600 Apart from the Competition?

  The driving force behind the Airpura I600's ability to remove particulate matter is its extra-large HEPA filter. This filter contains 100 square feet of filter material, compared with 40 square feet on most standard HEPA purifiers. Although 40 square feet is sufficient for most everyday uses, the extra filter material makes the I600 ideal for protecting users from particulates that might trigger severe allergies or asthma attacks. This same fact is also what makes the Airpura I600 an excellent option for healthcare and medical applications.  

  Increased Protection With Optional Add-ons

  While the I600's HEPA filter is impressive on its own, the unit can be improved even further by the addition of two optional features. The first is a HI-C carbon weave that helps filter odors and airborne chemicals, while the second is a UV germicidal lamp that protects against mold spores, viruses and bacteria. Combined with the unit's already powerful protection from particulate matter, these two add-ons turn the Airpura I600 into a great air purifier for broad-spectrum protection from a wide range of potential asthma triggers.   If you suffer from severe asthma or allergies, the Airpura I600 is a great option for keeping your home air healthy and clean. If you have questions about the I600 or any of the other air units we sell here at US Air Purifiers, please feel free to contact us for answers and personalized product recommendations.

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.
