Indoor Pollution

Austin Air Purifiers Make Great Presents
The winter holiday season is here. We have house guests over for the weekend, dinner parties and enjoy family gatherings. All these activities in homes that are sealed tight, not letting cold air in, or heated air out. With such little ventilation from the outside, our indoor air quality suffers and suffers higher pollution levels that can affect our everyday lives.
Bacteria, pet dander, mold spores, formaldehyde, dust, pollen, and tobacco smoke are just a few of the airborne concerns locked in the home with nowhere to go. Reduce these concerns and improve air quality by[...]

The Austin Air Purifier for Chemical Gases
Formaldehyde gas is a extreme health risk if it is inhaled and is now is being recognized as a cancer-causing agent by many health organizations.
Formaldehyde dangers can be reduced with the use of air purifiers capable of removing this chemical vapor. The best air purifier on the market is the Austin Air Purifier with the Austin Air HealthMate Plus being the best choice for removing chemical gases including formaldehyde.
Agencies Recognizing Formaldehyde as a Carcinogenic
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency lists formaldehyde as a "probable human carcinogen." The International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of[...]

Airborne radioactive contaminants were a big concern on the Manhattan Project back in the 1940's when the first atomic bomb was created. Airborne radioactive dust needed to be removed to ensure the safety of the scientists. The solution was the HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Arresting) filter, developed by the US Government and later in the 1950s, commercialized. Todays HEPA filters, as defined by the Department of Energy (DOE) require contamination removal of at least 99.97% of airborne particles of .3 micrometers in diameter.
Radioactive particles can be transported by dust and other airborne matter within clouds and by wind. These particles[...]

We spend most of our time indoors, often exposed to an environment that can make us sick. There are electromagnetic emissions, natural gases, allergens, chemical gases, pet dander, dust and many other contaminants that can affect our good health. You can improve indoor air quality by removing sources of contamination, staying a few feet away from emitting appliances, remediating homes and using an air purifier.
Much of the indoor pollution concerns are airborne and can greatly be reduced with air purifiers. Contaminants come from many sources including emissions from home building materials, computers, our pets, furnishings, outside pollutants entering the home[...]

Air Purifiers Reduce the Danger
Researchers find an air pollution link to strokes and other brain related diseases. With our homes 3-10 times higher in airborne pollution levels than outside air, improving air quality with an air purifier is becoming more important.
Tiny minute particles found in the air, when inhaled, can enter the brain and disrupt natural biological function or be a carrier of toxins which can modify the very cells in our head. These are some of the findings of researchers at the Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Campus. They are discovering a growing body of evidence that the air we[...]
