Air Purifier Helps with Germs in a Nursing Home
Air Purifier: Allerair 4000 Exec UV
Location: San Diego, California
Many colds and flues are often spread through airborne contaminants but air purifiers can help prevent this. When a person who is infected sneezes or coughs, the virus can become airborne and can be caught by anyone in the person's vicinity. A number of people who want to stay healthy and prevent catching airborne colds or flues turn to an air purifier to absorb the contaminated particles before they can be inhaled. An air purifier can stop the spread of these airborne sicknesses because of the technology and media used in the filtration system. Places like hospital and clinic waiting rooms can be the most susceptible to the spreading of these viruses and more and more doctor's offices are addressing this issue by purchasing an air purifier.
Emily Marco from San Diego, California is the head supervisor at a nursing home. She began to notice how quickly a cold or flu could spread to all of the guests in the nursing home. There were many common areas that the guests of the nursing home liked to spend their time in. When one person was infected with a cold and spent time in one of the common areas, a few other guests would also begin to experience symptoms of the illness. The cold would then keep spreading through the nursing home. Heeding the advice of a nurse who worked at the home, Emily soon began researching an air purifier for the common area.
After looking at a few models, Emily chose the Allerair 400 Exec UV as the air purifier for the nursing home. She liked the model because its filtration system and media made it specifically equipped to stop colds and viruses dead in their tracks. The model not only contains an effective HEPA filter and pre-filter but it is also designed to include an ultraviolet lamp. This 10 watt lamp works to kill any airborne cold or flu particles present in the air. The air that is released is free and clean of these germs and there is no longer a fear of the contagious germs circulating through the air. The germicidal lamp works efficiently at trapping and eliminating any airborne pathogens that might have been present in the air. Emily chose the 4000 Exec because it can handle a large room up to 1200 square feet. She was able to put it in the large common room in the nursing home and was confident it could keep the entire room contaminant-free.
After putting the air purifier to the test in the common area, Emily noticed a difference in the air quality immediately. The air was more fresh and clean and colds weren't spreading like wildfire through the guests in the nursing home. The nurses commented on the health of their guests and were pleased to not have to deal with so many illnesses. The air purifier had done its job to rid the air of the contagious pathogens associated with colds and flues. Emily found the air purifier easy to use and maintain. When one guest now got a cold, the rest of the residents didn't have to worry about the virus automatically spreading to them. The common room was now a safe area for the guests to enjoy without passing sicknesses to each other.
