If you have noticed, a lot of people are buying air purifiers these days. The reason is obvious, the air quality in our cities and towns is continuously going downhill. So much so, that the top cities with hazardous air quality are almost all in India. In the meanwhile, air pollution diseases are also on the rise. Which is not only bad news for the health of our loved ones but also puts a huge burden on our country’s public health infrastructure.
Moreover, studies have already associated air pollution with loss of productively, signs of depression and faster ageing of cognitive senses. Thus, self protection measures have become an essential need today. So, buying an air purifier can be an essential step towards a healthier and happier future for you and your family.
Here are the top 5 benefits of having an Air Purifier in your home.
Gets rid of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
VOCs are among the most harmful air pollutants as they contain anthropogenic compounds, which are harmful for humans and animals. These air pollutants are mostly present in adhesives, paints and varnishes. Formaldehyde is a prime example of harmful volatile organic compounds. Prolonged exposure to formaldehyde fumes can even lead to cancer.
Air purifiers come with special filters to remove these volatile vapours from the indoor environment. Activated carbon air filters inside home air purifiers can trap VOCs in their carbon tunnels and remove them permanently from the air. We have developed a special activated carbon filter called the HiSiv which provides advanced protection from VOCs.
Gets rid of particulate matter (PM)
While VOCs may seem extremely dangerous when compared to common dust, the threat from extremely fine dust particles is also hazardous. These fine particles, also known as Particulate Matter, can be up to 40 times smaller than the width of a human hair. PM2.5 particles can even reach the central nervous system and brain through blood circulation, causing a host of respiratory, cardio-vascular and mental illnesses.
Particulate matter is trapped using a special air filter, called HEPA. It stands for high-efficiency particulate arrestor. High-quality HEPA filters can trap up to 99.9% of particulate matter and fine dust particles. Our Air purifiers use H11 grade HEPA filters to permanently remove these pollutants from the air. These air filters also remove allergens such as mould, pet dander and pollen from the air.
Gets rid of foul odours
Perhaps one of the most useful features of an air purifier is its ability to get rid of foul odours. Smells from the kitchen, cigarette smoke and other elements can be removed by using a home air purifier with HEPA and activated carbon filters. We also make a car air purifier to clean the dust and odours from food and beverage spills inside the cabin. The car air purifier is extremely portable and can he placed on the dashboard, under the seats or in the rear parcel tray.
Beneficial for your family’s health
Well, stating the obvious, having clean air to breathe means your family members stay healthy during the smog filled days during winters. Also, air purifiers can reduce the chances of contracting seasonal influenza viruses and other common bacterial infections, as the activated carbon filter can trap microbes like bacteria, fungus and viruses.
You can be energy efficient
Often people resort to measures like blocking ventilation vents and doors and windows to prevent air pollution from seeping inside the house. Homes without ventilation end up using more energy for cooling and heating needs.
As indoor air pollution also has many in-house causes, like kitchen activities, dust hiding in upholstery and linen etc. Over time, these pollutants can combine to reduce the indoor air quality, making it unhealthy. Having an air purifier means the air inside your home is being continuously cleaned, thus allowing you ventilate the home properly and save more on your electricity bills.
