Air Purifier Helps with Tobacco Smoke
Air Purifier: IQAir, GC Multigas
Location: Sandpoint, Idaho
Tobacco smoke can be one of the most dangerous airborne chemicals in a home or office. Many studies are now proving that secondhand smoke is even more serious of an issue than was anticipated and cigarette smoking is being banned in a number of public places around the country. For many people who live with tobacco users, the secondhand smoke can be unbearable and hazardous to the health of other residents inside the home. IQAir kept dangerous secondhand smoke in mind when they developed their GC MultiGas air purifier. This model is dedicated to removing odors and chemicals, specifically those due to secondhand smoke, from the air and releasing fresh and clean air into the home or office.
Cigarette smoke became a huge problem for the Twiliger family from Sandpoint, Idaho. Both of the Twiligers were smokers and although they tried to smoke outside the home for the sake of their children, sometimes the secondhand smoke drifted into the home. After seeing many studies in the media about the negative effects secondhand cigarette smoke can have on children, the Twiligers knew they would need to do something to keep their home completely free of this tobacco smoke. The family researched many different models before deciding on this specific air purifier for their needs. After reviewing the complete filtration system and media of the air purifier, the Twiligers knew they had found the correct model for their situation.
The air purifier is equipped with four filter cartridges which all contain gas phase media. This gas phase media specializes in removing even the smallest particles of chemicals from the air such as vinyl chloride, ethanol, carbon disulfide and acetone. Since there are so many different types of chemicals in cigarette smoke which can become airborne and get trapped indoors, this air purifier is great for those homes with tobacco users. The complete system contains a total of 12 pounds of this gas phase media, making it extremely efficient at removing 97% of all particles that are 0.3 microns in size and smaller. This includes many chemicals or gases that are released from tobacco smoke and can cause hazards to the health of residents.
After purchasing the GC MultiGas air purifier, the Twiliger family placed it in the family room by the patio door where they usually go outside to smoke. Any smoke that lingered inside from the patio was immediately removed by the air purifier. The air inside the home before the air purifier was present seemed to have a thick feeling and the family could still smell smoke even though they were careful to smoke outside. The children often complained of the smell and the Twiligers knew they were harming their children with even the small amount of smoke that was seeping in. With the help of the product, the Twiligers no longer need to worry as much about their children's health at home. The secondhand smoke is reduced from the air as soon as it enters the home. The family has a newfound love for their home because the air now seems completely refreshed and revitalized.
The Twiliger's children don't complain of smelling the cigarette smoke because of the help the air purifier gives to remove these chemicals and odors from the air. Thanks to the effectiveness of the media in the air purifier, the family no longer has to deal with the smoke inside the home and no longer has to fret about the hazardous chemicals which they could have been exposing their children to inside the home.
