HEPA Air Cleaners Will Remove Airborne Allergens

By JD Carson


HEPA air cleaners make breathing easier and safer, especially for the elderly, children, and those with allergies, emphysema, and asthma. The elderly have frail respiratory systems that make them more susceptible to poor air quality, and children have developing respiratory systems that are more susceptible to such airborne elements as second hand tobacco smoke. People with asthma or emphysema can suffer an attack if indoor air is filled with allergens such as pet dander, pollen, mold, smoke or dust.

A person with asthma can suffer an asthmatic attack if he is exposed for long periods to pet dander, second hand smoke, or dust. Some homes are filled with airborne mold spores that have grown in a poorly ventilate basement that has suffered water damage that has been left untreated. Mold can cause serious health problems if the mold spores are inhaled into the lungs. Mold is a big problem this year because of all the wet weather in the northeast.

Pet dander, or shed animal skin, can enter the respiratory system and cause an allergic response, and cause a person with emphysema to become short of breath. Even people without breathing disorders can have an allergic reaction to pet dander, and develop watery, itching eyes. Dust mites produce their own unique challenge to one's good health by a means that most people find disgusting once they hear about it.

Many people are unaware of dust mites and how they contribute to their allergies. It is not the dust mite itself that people are allergic to, but the droppings left by the dust mites. As sickening as it is to consider, people breathe in the feces left by dust mites, and it is actually the dust mite feces and protiens that causes the allergic reaction.

Choose a filtration system that is HEPA, not HEPA type. Big difference. HEPA filters trap 99.97% of all particles larger than .3 microns. The best air cleaners, in a sense, scrub the indoor air clean of impurities. But, not all filtration systems are alike. Purchase a system that has a filter, which is the most important component of the system, that is effective, well made and easy to replace. The filter should be changed according to the manufacturer's instructions. The filter traps the impurities, but if the filter is dirty, the system will not work as effectively as possible.

If someone smokes a pipe or cigar or cigarettes in the home, the air cleaner is a necessity. Second hand smoke has been shown to cause cancer in those who do not smoke. If there are young children in the home who are exposed to tobacco smoke, those children are more susceptible to developing asthma, which can lead to a serious attack, and lead to the need for emergency care. The elderly are also more susceptible to second hand tobacco smoke because of their frail respiratory system.

HEPA air cleaners help make breathing indoors safe for young and old. Those with allergies will appreciate having clean air in the home because people with airborne allergies are more susceptible to pet dander, pollen, mold, dust,dust mites, and tobacco smoke.

But, even those without breathing challenges can benefit from the purifier, because an effective purifier will help people sleep better at night and help prevent the spread of colds and other respiratory contagions. Clean air is a good thing.
