The EPA points out that air pollution inside our homes can be as much as 5 times more polluted than the air outside our home and, at times, far worse. The indoor pollutants can be chemical gases or particles. Air purifiers can remove these sometimes, very dangerous exposures and create a health risk free environment for you and your family.

Air Pollution Effects on Our Children
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[...]

Radioactive Dust and Air Purifiers
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[...]

Air Pollution-Related Illnesses
Air Purifiers Reduce the Health Risks
Car exhaust and factory smoke can make you sick. These pollutants enter the air and often, become a component of smog. Smog worsens when ethanol-based gasoline is consumed by automobiles. When burned, ethanol exhaust produces volatile organic compound (VOC) gases including formaldehyde. More ethanol use means more pollution! These toxins and factory-emitted air contaminations are not good for our environment and now have been linked to illnesses including Pneumonia. Invest in an air purifier to reduce health risks with quality home air filtration. The best air purifiers are built with activated carbon blends and medical[...]
