There is more to keeping your house clean than wiping surfaces. The quality of the air in your home can be up to 5 times worse than the air outside. Air purifiers are designed to remove particles from the air and reduce exposure to allergens.
Indoor Air may be 2 to 5 times and occasionally more than 100 times – more polluted than air outdoors!
~ Study conducted by The United States Environmental Protection Agency,2002
Every 1 cubic metre of air we inhale contains:
Smoke, dust, mould, pollen, tiny dust that are
Invisible to naked eye
More than 1 million particles
99% of these are smaller than 1 micron
Implications
Asthma attacks
Allergy flare ups such as sneezing, itchy and watery eyes
Headaches
Respiratory problems such as coughing spells
Nasal congestion and nasal discharge
Wheezing
Shortness of breath
It is possible to compare two room air purifiers by looking at their Clean Air Delivery Rates (CADR) The higher the clean air delivery rate, the faster the purifier will clean the air. Another useful measure is the effective room size. Ensure the air purifier you purchase has an adequate effective room size.
Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) is a measure of an air cleaner’s delivery of particle-free air. It is calculated from independent laboratory tests. To compare two room air purifiers look at the CADR numbers. CADR is measured across 3 particles; Smoke, Dust and Pollen, which due to their different sizes are filtered at different rates. The combined CADR is the rate for each of the particles added together to provide an accurate picture of the overall effectiveness of the purifier. The higher the CADR, the quicker the air cleaning. It is measured in cubic feet of particle-free air per minute. Because CADR is independently tested it is the most reliable way of comparing two room air purifiers.
