Home Air Purifiers and Indoor Air Pollution

Although the environment inside a residence may seem clean and orderly, there is a whole world of bacteria and particles in the indoor air that are dirty and contaminated. There are some indoor air pollutants that may be considered harmless and can just be a nuisance to homeowners but there are also many types of indoor contaminants that can cause symptoms and can be responsible for many side effects that residents may suffer when they are breathed in. According to research performed by Expert 1 indoor pollutants need to be removed from the home in order to keep residents healthy and safe. The Expert has gathered studies on many different types of indoor pollutants and the affects they can have on people who are exposed to them. These studies have made people more aware of the importance of clean home air and how effective home air purifiers can be to achieve quality indoor air. The particles and contaminants that the Expert has found to be harmful are no match for powerful home air purifiers.

Air cleaners are able to eliminate contaminants from the air that include gases, odors, chemicals and particles. Most indoor air pollutants can be classified as either particulate matter, such as pet dander, or gaseous matter, such as chemical fumes. Particulate type of indoor contaminants are made of mass but are small enough to be able to suspend in air and be breathed in. They can sometimes be seen by the naked eye but are often so small that they are microscopic. Some examples of particulate indoor air pollutants that may be present in everyday indoor air are dust and pet dander. Particulate indoor pollutants are the type of pollutants that are considered allergens and can irritate allergy sufferers and lead them to experience allergy attacks. Some of these types of allergens include molds, pollens, body parts of insects and dusts. There are also dust mites present in most homes that can cause health problems for allergy sufferers. Dust mites are too large to be breathed in but their fecal matter and eggs can become airborne and can easily be breathed in by residents and become a health risk. Dust mites often live in bedding, upholstery and carpeting and are hard to get rid of.

Particulate matter and contaminants in the air should be of concern to home residents because they have the ability to carry proteins with them that may be foreign. When these proteins are breathed in, they can cause health problems. Larger pieces of particulate matter that are breathed in are often caught by the nose or throat before getting too deep in the respiratory system. These particles are often coughed or sneezed out but can still cause irritation or infection. The smaller particles of particulate matter are the ones that people should worry about eliminating from the air. These small particles are easily inhaled by people and can enter the lungs. They can cause illness and disease in the lungs or can also be absorbed and reach to alveoli. Once there, they can be absorbed into the bloodstream or become embedded in the system and stay there for years.

Home Air Purifiers should be used after every attempt is made to eliminate the source of Indoor air pollution.

Gaseous pollutants that can be present in indoor air include carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, tobacco smoke and chemicals from gas cooking. Gaseous pollutants are dangerous for people to breathe in because they can cause irritation or symptoms for people who have sensitivities to them. These types of indoor pollutants can cause people to experience sore throat or itchy eyes and even nausea or dizziness. These indoor pollutants have also been known to be found in plywood and particleboard that is used to build homes. Home air purifiers with the proper technology can help to reduce the symptoms caused by this pollution.

With so many different pollutants in indoor air, the Expert has researched and made many suggestions on how to keep the indoor air safe and clean for residents. The Expert recommends that homeowners use air purifiers as a way to eliminate these harmful contaminants from their home's air after they have made every attempt to eliminate the source.  With the use of home air purifiers, many of these toxins in the air can be absorbed and eliminated and clean air can be circulated through the home. The Expert warns the public of the dangers of these indoor contaminants in order to protect them from respiratory illness.
