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[...]

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[...]

Living things and their by-products produce biological air invaders which degrade air quality. Hot and moist places are perfect environments for this contamination to grow. They are all around us: the soil near our homes, our pets and animals, bugs, plants, fungi, viruses and bacteria. Asthma and allergy-prone are at a high health risk when these contaminates are trapped in the home. Biological pollutants will irritate the body and cause coughing, shortness of breath and dizziness. There are actions you can take to improve indoor air quality. Clean throughout you house, locate breeding grounds and removing the sources. Ventilate the[...]

With the industrial age came chemicals. Chemicals used to manufacture products, spray on foods, clean our homes, wash our cloths, and more. Manufacturers that produced chemicals for weapons of war in the past are now producing disinfectants and other products for our homes. These toxic chemicals seem to be properly labeled with warnings like "Danger! Do not swallow!" but our homes are full of chemicals that are not labeled.  They have become full of contaminating chemicals emitting gases and our bodies are experiencing sensitivity reactions. Being chemically sensitive can be a serious problem to some of us, and a severe[...]

"Particulate matter" is a term used when discussing indoor air quality or an air purifier. Particulate matter (PM) is particle pollution in the form of dust, airborne metals, dirt, acids such as nitrates, and a whole host of other organic or inorganic materials. They can be large or small, liquid or solid, and be found in light or heavy concentrations.
As particles become smaller, they increase the potential for causing health problems. The smaller matter can more easily be inhaled and ingested into the lungs. If very small, they can even bypass the immune defense system, enter the body past the[...]
