Blueair Air Purifiers - Safe from Ozone
In order to keep the environment and their customers safe, the Blueair has addressed the issue of ozone. The process of ionization, which is what the filters in all air cleaners go through in order to filter out particle, can release small amounts of ozone. Ozone can affect the environment and if inhaled, the gas can also affect a person's lung tissue negatively. The Blueair steel housing used on all these products surrounds the ionization chamber, which reduces the amount of ozone able to escape. The Blueair purifiers also are known to use a very low amount of electrical current in order to operate, which lowers the chances of producing ozone. These Blueair air purifiers are equipped with an activated carbon filter, which is able to absorb any ozone that happens to leak from the ionization chamber. The amount of ozone in the air exiting the purifier is actually measured to be lower than the air entering the purifier. This shows that the this system is able to filter its own ozone and can cause no threat to any customers with respiratory illnesses irritated by ozone.
One of the most important things a purifier can do is eliminate harmful gases and odors from the air. Glues and paints can release harmful and irritating odors. Chemical-based cleaning products such as bleach, aerosols and indoor insecticides can also release gases that can cause irritation. The release of gases by these products is called outgassing. The outgassing of these toxins can give people something minor like a headache or something more severe like nausea or itchy eyes. People who suffer from chemical sensitivity are greatly affected by these household irritants and have trouble dealing with the odor and gases. People who deal with respiratory conditions can find it nearly impossible to breathe indoor air if it contains these contaminants without being affected by them.
Blueair purifier's HEPASilent filter is able to trap most gases and odors found in everyday indoor air. The company also offers a product called the SmokeStop filter. This filter can be put into the purifier to replace the regular filter. The SmokeStop filter is able to completely absorb gases and odors in the air but doesn't compromise quality in other areas. This specialized filter is able to absorb particles with just as much accuracy as the HEAPSilent filter but has the extra benefit of specializing in absorbing gases and odors.
Blueair has shown a dedication and commitment to clean air for its customers. The company uses the best in technology and innovative design to achieve greatness in the market of air purifiers.
