Protect Your Health with a Good Air Purifier

Air purifiers remove particulates from your home's air, providing numerous health benefits. They are especially useful for controlling viral spread such as influenza, and reducing allergens such as pet dander and pollen from spreading further.


An air purifier can also help alleviate allergy-related symptoms in Concord, CA, such as runny nose and watery eyes, so you can enjoy a better night's sleep.


Airborne Particles

Airborne particles are small enough to easily affect your health in a number of ways, from headaches and dizziness to respiratory difficulties. Air purifiers remove airborne particles from your home environment, helping keep you healthy while preventing symptoms such as coughing and wheezing. Quality air purifiers will have an impressive Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) rating which indicates how quickly they filter and distribute filtered air back into the room.


Select an air purifier with an ACH rating of at least four to ensure all the air in a room is filtered at least four times an hour, without producing harmful ozone filtration processes that could harm respiratory health. In addition, look out for units bearing asthma & allergy friendly labels which meet EPA guidelines for those living with chronic respiratory conditions.


Odors

Odors found in many households are caused by pathogens in the air such as viruses, bacteria and germs that spread quickly among family members. An air purifier can help eliminate these pathogens to keep your air clean for you and your family.


Allergens

Allergens are substances that cause a response in individuals who have allergies, typically manifested through symptoms like itching, swelling, runny nose or eyes. They can be found anywhere and include pet dander, pollen, mold spores, drugs or certain foods - among many others.


Air purifiers in Concord, CA that specialize in allergen removal can provide allergy sufferers with relief, by filtering out allergenic particles and pollen from the air, along with pollutants and odors that could otherwise irritate sensitive lungs.


Smoke

Smoke is more than a bothersome scent: its chemicals contain substances that can directly harm your lungs by inflaming, irritating and burning them. An air purifier can remove contaminants from the air, helping you breathe easier.
