When indoor temperatures rise in the presence of high humidity levels, indoor pollutants become more harmful to our health. These pollutants can be man-made or natural as solid particulates or gases. They can be no more than a nuance or be a serious health threat. Outside miniscule floating debris can enter your home through windows and doors and combine with indoor air contaminates to create an unhealthy environment for you and your family.
We can reduce health risks associated with indoor airborne pollution by cleaning regularly, ventilating and removing contaminating sources. To maintain good air quality, indoor temperatures should be comfortable[...]

Asthma symptoms are more severe as air pollution increases. For children, it is worse. The following describes some recent study on this subject. Based on this study, it is recommended that indoor air should be re-mediated with Austin Air Purifiers and the family of HealthMate Air Purifiers.
In February of 2009, Johns Hopkins University researchers reported results of indoor pollution on asthma sufferers. They concluded that increasing levels of indoor particulate matter pollution would increase the severity of asthma symptoms. Asthmatic children were monitored for 6 months to determine the impact of room particulate matter, comprised of an airborne mixture of solid[...]

What is a HEPA filter? Why do they always come up when researching Austin Air Purifiers and Austin Air filters? Well, the history of the HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Arresting) is very interesting. A little-known historical fact is that the original HEPA filter was first designed back in the 1940s.  The HEPA filter was placed in the Manhattan Project facilities as a way of preventing the spread of airborne radioactive contaminants.
By the 1950s, HEPA filters began appearing in commercialized products. In fact, the HEPA filter became synonymous with best in class filter performance and high efficiency. It became the high standard[...]
