Why Is Air Purification Important?

Causes

• Regardless of cleanliness efforts, a home will suffer from unseen air quality contaminants. Mold spores, viruses and bacteria dwell in even the cleanest homes. Older homes contain a high risk of mildew and mold, and newer homes hold a danger from a high concentration of chemical off-gases such as those produced by paint, carpeting and other materials.

Dangers

• A sustaining presence of poor air quality in a home can cause serious throat and lung irritation, allergies and other respiratory ailments.

Prevention

• Avoiding the dangers of poor air quality has become possible with air purifiers. An air purifier works to destroy dangerous, airborne pollutants in the home. Humidifiers, UV germicidal lamps and air cleaners provide additional support to ensure a safe home.
