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

The holiday season is just around the corner, and as usual, there are many different preparations that need to be made. Although cooking, buying gifts and decorating are likely at the top of your holiday to-do list, one thing that you should add to it is buying an air purifier before the holidays get into full swing. Here are three great reasons to get an air purifier for the holiday season.  

  1. It Will Help Visiting Relatives Breathe Easier

  Most families try to get together during the holidays, and many even travel to pay extended visits. If you have older relatives or family members with asthma coming for the holidays, having an air purifier is an easy way to make sure they can breathe easily during their visit. Of course, this benefit also extends to you, and your air purifier will help you breathe better long after the holidays are over.  

  2. You'll Be Less Likely to Get Sick

  The holiday season is among the worst times of the year to get sick. Using the right air purifier, you can protect yourself from the many viruses and bacteria that typically cause winter illnesses. For this application, though, you'll need an air purifier that features a UV germicidal lamp, as standard HEPA filters can't easily catch tiny pathogens.  

  3. You Can Have a Real Christmas Tree Without Worrying About Air Quality Issues

  For many people, the smell of a real Christmas tree is an integral part of celebrating the holiday. The problem, though, is that many people respond poorly to the pine pollen and mold spores that often come with real pine trees. With an air purifier, you can remove these contaminants from the air and prevent them from ruining your holiday season.   The holidays are already coming up quickly, so now is the perfect time to find the right air purifier for your home. If you have questions about which air purifier would be best for you, please feel free to contact us for answers and personalized product recommendations.  

For many people, air purifier maintenance can seem like a hassle. Remembering to change or  clean filters on a regular basis is essential to making most air purifiers work properly.

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.

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. If you have questions about our air purifiers or how they can help keep you and your family healthy, please feel free to contact us, and we'll provide you with answers and personalized product recommendations for your needs.

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.
