Home Air Purifiers
W E B S I T E
Clean Air, Healthy Body
The air at home is probably much dirtier than the air outside, regardless of where you live. It could be making you and "your family sick." According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the typical home’s air is one of the top environmental hazards. Everybody needs to educate themselves on indoor air quality and its related health issues.
While your HVAC air filter traps some of the particles in your air, an Hepa Air Purifier can significantly "lower pollutants" in your home, help "reduce asthma & respiratory symptoms" and provide "allergy relief" on a regular basis.

Allergens
Allergens are Dust Mites, Mold Spores, Pollen & Pet Dander.

This is even more of a problem for people with respiratory issues like Asthma.

Bacteria & Viruses
Bacteria are single cell organisms and can cause problems like Strep throat, Staph & Sinus infections, Tuberculosis and Urinary tract infections. Viruses which cause Colds and Flu are smaller in size then bacteria. Infections can occur when someone sneezes or coughs and those particles are inhaled. Bacteria likes high humidity & viruses like low humidity.
Issues: Sinus Infection
