Air Cleaners remove air pollutants in our tightly sealed homes.

• Dead Particles - like dust and pollen, these are particles that can trigger an allergic reaction In individuals, but do not reproduce and spread. They do not cause infectious disease.
  
  
• Living Microorganisms - like viruses, bacteria, dust mites, fungi and mold spores; these are living microorganisms that can reproduce, multiply and spread throughout indoor air. A simple sneeze can contain germs that remain in the air for 3-4 hours, until they settle; or someone else breathes them in.
  
  Microorganisms can cause infectious diseases, and a clear danger to the entire population is the spread of infectious disease by means of these living microorganisms. Because they are living and can remain alive and multiply; killing these microorganisms is the focus of advanced technology air purifying equipment used today; in residences, workplaces and even school classrooms.
  
  
• Odors/Gases - These are the smell part of air pollution, like cooking smells, smoke, chemical fumes and what is called off-gassing from certain product materials.

Our indoor spaces are becoming more and more polluted as they are more tightly sealed, making them efficient for heating and cooling but inefficient for maintaining clean air. Thus the indoor air is not circulated or exchanged with outside air to dilute the pollutants produced naturally and by the materials used to manufacture our buildings.

Outdoor air pollution gets diluted because of the huge expanse of air thus making the pollution indoors 2 to 5 times, and in some cases 100 times, more polluted than the outside air. This is an important fact to consider since we spend the vast majority of our time indoors, whether it is in the home or in the office.

Cleaning the air with air cleaners should be a continuous process. Our skin sheds, people cough and sneeze, dust circulates from other rooms, and other pollutants constantly enter the air space. Pollutants, living and dead are continuously being added to our breathing spaces. Left unchecked, their concentrations build up and can effect our health and well being. The National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) estimates that approximately 64,000 premature deaths from air particles take place each year, more deaths than from AIDS and breast cancer combined.

Many people have conditions and sensitivities, which are exacerbated by the contaminants in ordinary air. Too often, we shrug it off as "allergies" and assume we are destined to a life of drugs, chronic fatigue, and discomfort. The relationship between air contaminants and the suffering from these conditions, while obvious, is mistreated. We tend to focus on the symptoms rather than remove the source of irritation: the contaminants.

To protect your health and even prevent the possibility of contracting an illness from untreated and thus polluted indoor air, select air cleaners suitable for your home or office and feel the difference breathing pure clean air can make.
