Air pollution is a justifiable concern for most people who live in a city. Dust, contaminates, odor, and pollutants (also known as smog) sometimes are heavy enough to be seen outside. In your home, you can develop dust, contaminates, and odor problems. Using a fan to move air in a home that contains these particles is not the best solution. It will only move the problem from one room to another. Consider an air filter to help clean your air quality at home.

Finding the Facts

Mold, dust, and odors are can be found all around us. When particles are inside your home, they are typically considered to be inside air pollutants (including dust mites, cooking odors, mildew, and animal dander), and generally, they fall into one these three categories:

• Gaseous
• Biological
• Chemical

Breath at Ease

Air filtration systems filter the pollutants out of the air from all three categories. Keeping the allergens and mold spores filtered out of the air can provide a cleaner atmosphere inside your home; therefore, combatting lingering odors, as well as deliver fresh and most importantly, quality air.

Removing the Particles

Different purifiers utilize different methods to filter the air. They typically work in one of the following ways.

• Electrostatic precipitation
• Ionization
• Filtration

Each method has its pros and cons. Most people find the HEPA filtration system very cost effective. The air moves through the filter where the particles are captured. As the clean air rushes out of the filter, it then fills your home with refreshed air.
