Get the Healthful Air from HEPA Air Purifiers

Air purifiers are designed to filter out the harmful particles and allergens from the air. Among the various types and sizes of air purifiers, the most popular is the HEPA air purifier. HEPA means “High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter”. This type of air filter is often used in air cleaners, air purifiers, and high quality vacuum cleaners.

A HEPA filter can remove the airborne particles down to 0.3 microns in size and have an efficient rating of 99.97%. HEPA filters are replaced regularly to ensure optimal performances of air purifier. It'll also extend the life of your air purifiers.

Air cleaners trap airborne particle by passing dirty air through a HEPA filter and allowing a clean air to return to the indoor environment. As the air in the room is exchanged several times, better air quality is achieved. It has the higher air exchange rate per hour. The Ideal number of air exchange per hours is between 4 to 6.


These air cleaners can use medical grade ultraviolet light system for purification of the air. UV light system kills the bacteria, virus, molds and dangerous pollutants. This type of air purifier is capable of protecting your indoor environment from micro-organisms as well as dust, pollens, dust mites, out gassing chemicals and odors.


HEPA air purifiers are most useful in purifying indoor environments.

Ozone Purifiers Help in Reducing Air Pollutants

The device that removes contaminants from air is called an air purifier. Dust, allergens, smoke, odor and any other particulate matter can be purified by air purifiers. It is beneficial for asthmatics and allergy patients to use air purifiers. Many types of air purifiers are available. Some of them are ionic air purifiers, ozone air purifiers, HEPA filter air purifiers, carbon air purifiers. Let us know something about ozone air purifiers which reduce air pollutants.

The quality of air can be improved by ozone air purifiers by removing air pollutants which cannot be removed by filters. Negative ions are generated by ozone purifiers for clearing air from dust and air pollutants. Ozone or activated oxygen is used by these purifiers. Indoor bacteria, fungus and any other microbes along with other air pollutants get oxidized by it. The extra molecule of oxygen present in ozone gets bonded to air pollutant and releases oxygen. As a result the pollutants get oxidized leading to inactivation. Free oxygen is also provided in this process.

Ozone purifiers provide many advantages. Some of them are listed here.

Advantages of Ozone Air Purifiers:

  • Removal of viruses causing allergic reactions and other diseases is possible though ozone air purifiers. They also remove unpleasant odors of bacteria and fungi. Thus they help in reducing allergies, bacterial or viral infections, and other respiratory problems.
  • Harmful effects of any air pollutants can be avoided by use of ozone air purifiers. Headache and depression can be reduced by their use.
  • Air is made clear, pure and fresh by ozone air purifiers.
  • It is better to use ozone air purifiers at factories, salons, and bars where bad odor and high pollution are observed.
Ozone air purifiers are used as they have the capacity to damage any air pollutants. But they have to be used in limit as excess exposure to ozone may cause some health problems for individuals.
