Air Purifier Helps with Tobacco Smoke
Air Purifier: IQAir, GC Multigas
Location: Cary, Illinois
Residents who live with tobacco users know the odors and chemicals that are released into the air from secondhand smoke can be a nuisance to breathe in. The chemicals in second hand smoke are not only unhealthy to breathe in but they can also cause symptoms such as sneezing, coughing and a scratchy throat. An air purifier can be used by residents who live with smokers to rid the indoor air of the harmful chemicals and annoying odors in smoke. Since tobacco smoke can be such a problem for home owners, many air purifier manufacturing companies have designed products that are modeled to specifically remove the harmful chemicals expelled in second hand smoke.
The irritation of tobacco smoke and helpfulness of an air purifier were experienced by Mrs. Whitmore from Cary, Illinois. Her husband picked up the bad habit of smoking a cigar every night after dinner. He found it relaxing to sit by the fire in his slippers and have a cigar. Since it was during the winter season, he used the cold weather as an excuse to stay inside the living room to smoke. While Mrs. Whitmore loved to sit with her husband after dinner and read in the living room, she just couldn't handle the secondhand smoke. Mrs. Whitmore has always been sensitive to strong odors and chemicals in the air and the tobacco smoke made her eyes water and her throat feel scratchy. If Mrs. Whitmore was going to enjoy her evenings as much as her husband does, she knew she would need to find a solution to the air quality problem in the living room. She needed an effective air purifier that specializes in the removal of chemicals and odors in the air.
Mrs. Whitmore turned to the IQAir GC Multigas because it seemed to be the most powerful and effective air purifier in its class to remove chemicals and odors. The Multigas was designed to address the chemicals and smoke that were causing Mrs. Whitmore to experience her symptoms of sensitivity. This model of air purifier is recommended for those who suffer from Multiple Chemical Sensitivity so Mrs. Whitmore knew the filtration system must be effective. While the Multigas model lacks a HEPA filter, it is equipped with a pre filter and four filter cartridges. These filter cartridges are so effective at the removal of gases and chemicals because they include gas phase media, a material equipped to eliminate odors and chemical particles from the air. Since the air purifier is endowed with 12 pounds of the gas phase media, it is able to trap most of the chemical particles that are in the air. Mrs. Whitmore chose the Multigas because it was powerful enough to clean a room that is 900 square feet in size.
The Multigas turned out to be just what the Whitmores needed to spend quality time together in the evenings. The powerful filtration system of the air purifier eliminated the strong smoke odors and chemicals from the air in the living room. Mrs. Whitmore found that she could sit on the couch across from her husband while he smoked his cigar and she didn't experience the irritating symptoms she had before. The couple was able to enjoy their time together after dinner thanks to the efficiency of their air purifier.
