Homeowners Can Keep Their Family Healthy With Great Indoor Air Quality
While most people think pollution is a problem outside, IAQ or indoor air quality is just as important and even more important to individual health. Most people spend most of their time indoors, and when particulate matter gets in the indoor air, it is much more concentrated. That is why homeowners should consider investing in an air scrubber
Indicators A Home’s Air Quality Is Poor
Every home has the potential for good quality air, but if a homeowner doesn’t know that they have poor air quality, they will not be able to do anything about it. The signs that a home is struggling against poor air quality usually come in the form of symptoms experienced by the household. These are included in the list below.
- Coughing
- Dry skin
- Flu-like symptoms
- Headaches
- Itchy, watery eyes
- Sneezing
- Sore Throat
How An Air Scrubber Works
An air scrubber is just what it sounds like. It is an appliance that filters air but does it for the whole home instead of a room air purifier. It employs multiple filters as both an air sanitizer and an air purifier. For example, the air scrubber by Aerus uses a proprietary ion filter and a UVC filter to catch particulate matter and kill germs. The Areus air scrubber removes 99% of the contaminants in the air and on surfaces much faster than other methods. This means they kill mold and fungi and remove VOCs (volatile organic compounds), pet dander, and dust. Remember that this is for the whole house, not just one room!
Air Scrubber Benefits
If the benefits of an air scrubber are not obvious in the description of its function, then this part of the article will elaborate on those benefits. Air scrubbers are great for any household but can be especially helpful in older homes or homes with vulnerable people. Reasons for installing an air scrubber are outlined below.
- Breathe Easier: If a family member has chronic lung conditions such as COPD, asthma, or emphysema, having the air as clean as possible will bring them a better quality of breathing and better quality of life.
- Healthier Mind and Body: Air scrubbers kill viruses, bacteria, molds, and fungi. This gives everyone in the house a chance for better health. Allergies can affect brain function, and a clearer head in more ways than one makes life easier.
- Less Dusting: Here’s a big one for those people who hate to dust. When using an air scrubber, most dust is caught in the filters and does not end up on surfaces.
- Clean Air: Homeowners will have a house with great indoor air free of the foul, musty odors that sometimes come with poor air quality.
