Indoor air pollutants are environmental health risks. It’s best to address these risks by controlling or eliminating pollutant sources with constant purification of the air using HealthMate Air Purifiers.

Indoor Air Pollutants

The pollutants found in your home contaminating air quality are particulate matter and gaseous pollutants. Particulate matter includes tobacco smoke, dust, pollen, animal dander and tiny organisms such as dust mites, molds, bacteria, and viruses. Gaseous pollutants come from various sources including truck and car exhausts as well gas cooking stoves. They also come from building materials, varnishes, furnishings, rugs, adhesives, paints, and cleaning fluids. How can we protect ourselves from pollutants that surround us?

Particle Removal With HealthMate Air Purifiers

HealthMate Air Purifiers have mechanical air filters that remove particles from the indoor air. These purifiers use a high quality High Efficiency Particulate Arresting (Certified HEPA Material) filter to remove 99.97% of the air contaminates as small as 0.3 microns. That’s about 1/300th the size of a human hair.

Gaseous Pollutant Removal

These purifiers remove gases and odors by using a material called a sorbent. The purifier’s sorbent is activated carbon with other compound mixtures which creates a highly efficient absorbing solution. These filters remove gaseous pollutants from the airstream that passes through them. These gas-phase filters are specifically designed to remove a multitude of gaseous pollutants including ammonia and formaldehyde.

Portable Air Cleaners

Austin Air Purifiers can be moved around easily on rollers, because they are extremely well-built. They move from room to room and can be easily located where needed most.

Will Air Cleaning Reduce Adverse Health Effects?

The ability to remove particles, including microorganisms can reduce adverse health effects from indoor pollutants. The HealthMate Air Purifiers are effective at reducing levels of large and small airborne particles. The most harmful to the human body are the small particulates, because the body’s defense system cannot detect them. Cleaning the air with an air purifier is very important particularly for sensitive population groups such as children, the elderly and people with asthma and allergies.

Additional Benefits

HealthMate Air Purifiers installations consist of plugging in a unit and turning on the switch. They are very cost-effective to run, consuming as little power as a standard light bulb. They remove odors and pollutants without soiling wall or other surfaces. Finally, they are quiet to operate.

Conclusion

Indoor air pollution is an environmental health risk. The best way to address this risk is to take control of your environment by purifying your air with Austin Air Purifiers.
