Air-O-Swiss the Need for Air Purifiers
With such airtight homes, when contaminants are released or enter the air, there is nowhere for them to go but to circulate inside. This causes a bigger risk for dwellers of the home to breathe in viruses, bacteria or irritants. People generally spend 90% of their time indoors and 65% of that time is generally spent in their homes. Homes should be a safe and contaminant-free place for owners to relax in. That's why Air-O-Swiss has committed itself to finding indoor air relief solutions for all customers who want to breathe easier.
Children are the ones most susceptible to allergy and respiratory related diseases in the air. It has also been proven that children breathe in 50% more air per body weight than adults do. This makes clean air in children's' lives an important and health conscious choice. The home can be the cause of many irritating pollutants, some as simple as cleaning products and pesticides. Pollutants can also be released when people perform daily activities such as bathing, cooking, cleaning or heating the home. With these air purifiers, the home is a less dangerous place to breathe.
Determining whether a home is infected with pollutants or air contaminants can be a tricky task. Some of the pollutants can be detected by smell but there are great deals of allergens or irritants that are odorless and the particles are so small, the human eye cannot see them. These allergens can cause symptoms in people such as a runny nose, nausea, tiredness, dizziness, headaches, scratchy throat or watery eyes. The direct cause of these symptoms can be hard to find, considering there are a lot of particles present in indoors air. Some symptoms of breathing contaminated air will not show up until years later and it is impossible to know what type of contaminants caused the symptoms. It is also possible for people breathing contaminated air to develop medical conditions such as asthma or respiratory disorders.
There are more than 12.4 million people who are affected by asthma each year. 8.4 million of these 12.4 million people are children. Since children still have developing lungs, contaminants in the air irritate their respiratory systems in a more extreme manner than adults. It has been recorded that 65% of elementary-school aged children with asthma could have been prevented if they were not exposed to so many indoor allergens at this young age. These indoor allergens include environmental tobacco smoke, or ETS. This study also stated that 55 to 60 percent of these asthma cases could have been prevented if there was some control over the biological contaminants in the indoor air the children were breathing. The biological contaminants that were proven to contribute to these cases of asthma include pet dander, dust mites and allergens.
Air-O-Swiss identified this indoor contaminated air problem and wanted to help people have cleaner indoor air. The products this company has developed lower the amount of particles and allergens present in indoors air. Air-O-Swiss's commitment to indoor air quality is shown in the excellency and efficiency of their air purifiers.
