During these difficult times, it may dawn on home owners that their home air quality could contain harmful bacteria and infectious diseases. With the shortage of common household disinfectants, such as Lysol and other cleaning agents, home owners might feel concerned and wonder about the best ways to protect their family from viruses.
More than ever, air purification systems are an essential solution to combat contaminants that may be floating around in your home. Air-Rite Heating & Cooling explains how air purifiers work.
Why purifying indoor air is important
It’s a good time to understand how to prevent the spread of disease & virus, like coronavirus (COVID-19 virus), especially in a place that matters most - at homes. The best thing to do for the home is to reduce the risk of infection with an air purification system.
Discussed in detail below is how to purify the air and improve air quality at homes.
Need for an efficient air purifying system
Air-Rite’s expertly trained Comfort Advisors can review specific home needs and offer a suitable solution
Dust collects everywhere in the house, from counter tops to bookshelves to ceiling fans. The air in the home is very complex. Indoor air in home environments constantly trap in dust mites, dirt, dander, pollen, and other pollutants, all of which can be hazardous to the health of the residents. With the increase of time spent at home, breathing in these pollutants can be harmful. One of the things home owners can do is get an air purifying system for the whole house.
As seen, viruses can affect each person in a different way. The same is true for the particulates and other indoor air conditions. If residents are experiencing discomfort at home, there could be many contributing factors. Air-Rite’s expertly trained Comfort Advisors can review specific home needs and offer a suitable solution, in order to help purify the air in homes.
Indoor air pollutants can affect all residents
Especially residents with asthma and allergies, air pollutants may affect them and their loved ones without even realizing it. When dust and pollen gets trapped in the home, this may trigger asthmatic and allergic reactions. Although everyone reacts differently to indoor air pollutants, common symptoms of bad air quality include itchy eyes, nose, and throat or headaches, fatigue, and dizziness.
Depending upon the severity of the health condition, this could be detrimental to their health. Certain long-term air pollutants can even extend to respiratory disease, heart disease, and even cancer.
Surfaces get contaminated easily
Pollutants linger in the air and get on commonly used surfaces in the home. When someone coughs or sneezes, especially without covering their mouth, it is very likely the surface close to them gets contaminated also. Contaminated objects and surfaces are a popular transmission point for diseases and infections, such as SARS and MERS. When a surface is contaminated, anyone in the home can come in contact with it.
If someone sneezes near a commonly used surface such as the kitchen counter top, that counter is now contaminated. This then means the next person to touch the counter gets these pollutants on their hands. If that person touches their nose, face, or mouth, just like that they have potentially contracted a virus or infectious disease.
Are air Purifiers Really Effective?
The most critical step to purifying the air begins with the removal of pollutants
This is a good question - Considering the thousands of air-purifying solutions in search results proclaiming to produce healthier, cleaner air with little application, residents may feel overwhelmed by options and wonder, which approach is truly valuable? How can I really clean my air at home?
Popular approaches, such as plant purification and essentials oils, may act as natural purifiers, but don’t necessarily remove contaminants in sealed environments. In fact, there is no factual evidence that air purifying plant solutions are beneficial. The most critical step to purifying the air begins with the removal of pollutants. By reducing pollutants in the home, home owners can minimize the risk of contracting harmful viruses and infectious diseases. To prevent these conditions, investing in an air purification system is the best bet.
