It is not the mold in your home that is dangerous, it's the spores they emit. Spores are released into the air and these tiny little invaders contaminate your air quality. In order to eliminate this threat, clean your air with air purifiers. Proper air cleaners will reduce airborne mold spores and the associated health threats that trigger allergic and asthmatic reactions. You can effectively protect your respiratory system using this "clean how to" method.
Where there is warm, damp and dark places within your home you may find mold, a microscopic fungi. Fungi like Alternaria, Penicillium, Aspergillus Chaetomium, Stachybotrys, Cladosporium, Fusarium, and Mucor can fester. They grow and release mold spores that float into the air and cause wheezing, coughing, stuffy and runny noses. These contaminations make indoor air quality bothersome for the healthy and sometimes, unbearable for the allergy-prone. This tiny intruder passes through the protective mechanisms of your respiratory system and causes a multitude of serious health concerns.
One of the most effective ways to remove spores in the air is with air purifiers containing medical grade High Efficiency Particulate Arresting (HEPA) filtering. High quality HEPA filters trap microscopic particles and rid the air of a minimum of 99.97% of pollutants as small as 0.3 microns and 95% of contamination as small as 0.1 microns.
HEPA filters eliminate mold spores as these airborne contaminants pass through the filter membrane and get trapped in the filter itself. To maximize this effect, place the air purifiers where mold is frequently found such as kitchens, basements, bathrooms, and rooms filled with fabrics and holstered furniture.
Austin Air Allergy Machine air purifiers have been consistently rank as #1 in the world. The Austin Air Allergy Machine air purifiers have the HEPA filtering embodied into a special patented HEGA (High Efficiency Gas Adsorber) filter capable of eliminating not only mold spore airborne contaminants, but also particulates like pollen and pet dander. The Allergy Machine also includes another filtering layer of protection with a carbon and zeolite compound. This carbon mix eliminates Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), chemicals, odors, gases, and smoke. The combination of HEGA and carbon/zeolite delivers air quality unsurpassed in the market.
Besides the use of air purifiers as air cleaners, keep the humidity in the home below 50%. Mold loves humidity and can thrive on moisture. Also, don't forget to clean. Vacuuming, using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter, will eliminate mold spores on your carpet and rugs. Periodically, cleaning with a damp rag will also help to reduce the spore risk. And finally, clean nasty black spots and smears of mold colonies on countertops and showers with special cleaners designed to remove mold.
Clean. That is what you get, air cleaners that clean and remove the irritating and sometimes lethal microscopic fungi spores. Austin Air Allergy Machine air purifiers deliver allergy relief, remove the sources of irritants for the chemically sensitive, and eliminate the spore threat.
