Breathe easily!
Unfortunately people haven’t invented “Elixir of Life” yet, but day by day they invent something new in order to improve and prolong the life. Among such inventions and well used today air purifiers.
Medical recommendations lead mainly to the maintenance of ecological environment: food, water, air. We consume about 3 pounds per day of water and food, but the air – more than 20 pounds. According to various estimates, the inhaled air has received not less than half of our pollution. So what do we breathe? And what should breathe in fact? Of course fresh and clean air! And to do this we can with the help of air purifiers.
Household air purifiers designed to remove harmful impurities – dust, cigarette smoke, gas emissions from building materials, dust mites, pollen, and so on.
Filters are the basis of any air purifier. Typically, air purifiers used several types of filters designed to neutralize the different pollutants. According to the principle all filters can be divided into the following groups:
* Mechanical filters (coarse filters)
* Ionizers or electrostatic precipitators
* Coal (adsorption) filters
* Filters of HEPA type
* Photocatalytic filters
Mechanical filters are used as a prefilter and represent a normal fine grid. They are designed to remove larger dust elements and animal hairs.
Compared with coarse filters, electrostatic air purifier filters can remove from the air the smaller elements – up to 0,01micron.
The basis of coal or deodorizing filter is activated charcoal. Activated carbon can absorb harmful gases. Thus, carbon filters are designed to remove odors and gases.
Filters HEPA type (High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance) are used not only in domestic but also in hospitals and laboratories – where there are increased requirements for clean air. HEPA filters are made of special porous material based on glass fiber. The level of air cleaning by HEPA filters is 85% – 95%.
Unlike other filters, accumulating different pollution, photocatalytic filters break down organic material, odors and harmful chemicals into harmless substances. Due to this, the air purifier with photocatalytic filter will never become a source of pollution.
So, you can live a long and active life, be healthy and happy, to preserve the health of your children and loved ones, having an air purifiers.
