Pollution

What do Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida have in common? They are at the top of the list of states that generate the most toxic gases and particulates from electric power plants. Over 65% of these states total air pollution come from electric sector pollution. Close to half of the total air pollution in the U.S. can be traced back to coal-burning electric power generation. Ohio's power plants alone generate 12% of this toxic pollution and 6% of mercury pollution within the U.S. We needs to continue to require air purification solutions with plant air purifiers to insure continued reductions in[...]

Women who experience breast cancer later in life may have been exposed to air pollution early in life or when giving birth for the first time. Links have been established between air pollution and breast cancer where particulate pollution alters women's DNA and tumor suppression which, in turn, increased susceptibility to this serious health problem.
Air Pollution Link to Cancer Study Results Released Early This Year
In April 2011, study results were presented by the University at Buffalo at the annual 2011 American Association for Cancer Research conference about a newly discovered set of cancer links. Lead research investigator, Katharine Dobson, MPH[...]

Air pollution can be man-made or natural. This pollution can be introduced into the air as floating chemical gases called Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), droplets of moisture, or particles that can be ten times smaller than the diameter of your hair or seen with the naked eye. Air pollution can be innocent elements that are not harmful to our health, while others can be very dangerous and even life threatening. These threats can be removed in the home with air purifiers.
Man-made Air Pollution
The more we have evolved as industrialized nations, the more we added pollution to the atmosphere. Many of[...]

At AFP - AirFiltersAndPurifiers.com, we investigate the impact of polluted air on our society, and especially the air pollution effects on our children. There has been some recent work on just how pollution impacts our children. As you are likely aware, as healthy children develop, their lungs grow along with the body. The most development occurs during puberty. Our children's lungs realize a staggering growth spurt of 12% per year between the ages of 10-14. By the time they see their late teens or early twenties, this development stops. In recent years, the Children's Health Study initiated a study on[...]

Air Pollution Can Cause Permanent Damage

First the bad news. Studies show that air pollution, particularly in heavy concentrations, negatively affect our brains. Now... the good news! We may not be able to remember, because our cognitive memory could be impaired along with our problems solving and judgement skills.
We have well documented knowledge that air pollution causes respiratory and circulatory problems. Now, new research is pointing a finger at air pollution inflaming and causing permanent damage to the brain. With such evidence, precaution should be taken to purify the air within the home with a high quality air purifier. The air[...]
