Air Purifiers in Nail Salons

The technology and principal behind Air Purifiers is much the same whatever its intended application might be. Air will be drawn into the equipment by a fan, passed through a carbon filter and then clean air will be returned to the atmosphere.

The differences between models start when they are designed for specific areas, for specific applications and, of course, for different sizes of areas to be treated. There are specific ones made for such places as a nail salons, small businesses, or industrial businesses. Any beauty salon or parlor is a prime example of a location where specialized equipment might be needed and a Nail Salon is a particular example. In fact, there are a number of models available which are ideally suited to these types of premises.

The most important aspect of the Nail Salon which needs to be addressed when thinking about air filtration is the protection of the clients and the manicurists. In the past there have been concerns about hygiene standards at some establishments to the extent that local pressure groups have been established to campaign for the enforcement of better standards within the facility.

Air Purifiers - Important to the Health of the Customers and Workers.

Most of the more reputable salons have always maintained high standards of cleanliness but the cleaning of equipment and surfaces is only a part of the requirement. In all beauty parlors solvent based fluids like cleansers and colorants are used extensively and Nail Salons are included in that category. These cleansers have very potent odors and being breathed in on a daily basis does not make for a healthy environment for the staff as well as for the clients.

Research and analysis shows that indoor air is up to one hundred times more polluted than outdoor air although typically the factor is between two and five. Eighty-five percent of the dust that settles in our homes is made up of shed human skin scales and obviously, the statistic would apply to most locations. Being principally organic, that dust makes perfect breeding ground for the germs, bacteria and mites that can cause and aggravate ailments and allergies. The levels of hygiene on premises like Nail Salons will obviously be very high but it is still vital that equipment specified for them is able to deal with indoor pollution and especially those human skin scales.

Removing matter such as tobacco smoke, dust and bacteria from the atmosphere is but a part of the function of an air purifier. It must also be able to deal with harmful chemicals and allergens. In the past, the filtration process has been known to produce ozone which is a variation of oxygen harmful to the human respiratory system, this is of course counterproductive.

Modern Air Purifiers have been designed to meet the specific needs of most locations and environments including beauty parlors and nail salons. Design developments include multiple stage filtration, higher filter capacities and improved input and output flows, often facilitated by more powerful fans or impellers.

Air Purifiers specified for a Nail Salon must be able to remove a complex range of materials and chemicals from the atmosphere. Included on the list would be the obvious matter like the dust, the pollen grains which cause hay-fever an allergy to grass pollen that affects around twenty-five million Americans, and any residual particles carried on clothing like pet hairs and general pollutants. In particular, the machine must be capable of neutralizing any chemical residues or emissions from the solvents and the treatments that the manicurist is using. Its principal objective must be to return, to the room, clean, sweet smelling air.

It's also expected that these machines will be low maintenance, inexpensive to run, easy to move around and, most importantly, quiet in operation. The durability and usability issues are addressed with high quality, electronically controlled fans in light but robust cabinets. Quite often too, there are remote control options, a choice of cabinet configurations and colors.

The principal objectives are achieved by the use of multi-stage filtering, and quite commonly, ionization of the air being returned to the room or office.

Phrases used in technical specifications include pre filter, electrostatic, antibacterial, and photo catalyst.

To most people, these words or phrases may as well come from a strange alien language from the point of view of understanding their meanings but, what they really mean is that the air in the nail salon has been purified to an exceptional level via high quality air purifiers.

The air purifiers that we recommend for this application are the Austin Air HealthMate or the IQAir HealthPro.  Both of these air purifiers have a lot of activated carbon with which to absorb chemicals.
