Can Air Purifiers Remove Dust and Allergies?

Particles of dust, mites, hair, and other allergens fill the air around us daily. While these particles can generally pass through our environment undetected, these indoor pollutants can also be the direct cause of respiratory issues and diseases. For this reason, taking care of the air in our homes is the first step toward reducing the effect of allergies on our family and us. Air purifiers are effective ways to begin taking care of the air around you.

What is an air purifier, and how do they help?

Air purifiers are small machines with built-in filtering technology that filter the debris, dust, and contaminants from your air, making your home a safer place to breathe. Air purifiers are made to attract dust up to 0.3 microns and remove them from the air. These dust particles can float around your home until they land on a surface, like a table, shelving, and beds to accumulate and further respiratory and allergy problems. An air purifier removes these particles by circulating the air and trapping the particles in its filter, thereby enhancing the air quality and reducing the amount of dust in your home and lungs. It is impossible to remove all of the dust particles from the air, but a good air purifier will significantly reduce the amount of air pollutants moving around your environment.

How is dust dangerous?

Dust is a nuisance that is unavoidable though it can be diminished. Dust is made up of old skin cells, dirt tracked into the home, food debris, your pet's dander, mold, pollen, human hair, among many other things. All these things can fly around your air and settle into the corners and crevices of your home. Because of this dust in the air you breathe, there is a danger of it accumulating in your lungs, causing respiratory illness, disease, or even cancer. For this reason, it is crucial to have an effective cleaning method to remove dust from your furniture, floor, and air. An air purifier reduces the amount of these pollutants and reduces your risk for respiratory illness and disease.

What type of air purifier works best?

The best type of air purifier to purchase is one with the true HEPA filter system technology. These systems can eliminate 99.7% of dust particles floating in your air, including dust mites. Keep in mind that true HEPA is not the same as HEPA-grade and HEPA-type filtering technology. These types are ineffective in removing dust from your air. The best type of device is a true HEPA filtering system that will remove nearly all dust particles from your air, making your home a safe place to breathe.
