Using Air Purifiers To Combat Environmental Or Seasonal Allergies

If you suffer from environmental or seasonal allergies, then you completely understand the significance of breathing clean air. I have suffered from aggravating allergies all of my life and I have been searching for an effective way to clean the air in my home in hopes of eliminating or calming these reactions. The first steps I took to attack the allergens in my home were to clean the house from top to bottom and keep the dust at a minimum. This, however, can only take you so far in your allergen-eliminating endeavor.

The next step, and possibly the most important and effective one I can take, is to buy an air purifier. I have read and heard a lot of great things about owning an ionic air purifier. I have to be honest about the fact that I do not quite understand the technology behind ionizing. From what I can tell you, an ionic air purifier “ionizes” the particles in the air which then are collected by removable, washable metal plates inside of the ionic air purifier. The plates can be easily removed and washed off with a damp cloth. A commercial featuring the oreck ionic air purifier claims that the machine is capable of cleaning the air in a thirty-foot by thirty-foot room once an hour. I think that is pretty impressive.

My home is pretty tiny at only about eight hundred square feet so the oreck ionic air purifier should be able to handle my house easily. This type of ionic air purifier runs for around three hundred bucks. That is pretty pricey for me but it may very well be worth it. The commercial also claimed that the oreck ionic air purifier runs on the same amount of energy that a twenty-five watt light bulb uses. I think that is a very reasonable amount of energy to use toward cleaning the air in my home.

I saw an ionic air purifier at Wal-Mart that was considerably cheaper but I think that this is one of those instances in which you get what you pay for and I certainly do not want to skimp on this one. I spend more than I would like to say on allergy prescriptions, eye-drops, and facial tissue every month and I think that owning an ionic air purifier would significantly cut down those expenses. If you are in the market for an ionic air purifier, I think I would recommend that you check out the one manufactured by oreck. They seem to have a good reputation and I will definitely let you know my experiences with it if I chose to buy it. Right now it is looking like a really good possibility.

E7720 Silent Air 2000 Air Purifier The SilentAir 2000 air purifier operates virtually silently because it has no fan or motor. Rather, it uses electrostatic technology to trap particles such as pollen, bacteria, pet dander, and dust. The unit sends out invisible, negatively-charged ions that attach themselves to airborne irritants. A positively-charged ionization line draws the particles into the machine, where they are trapped on a collection sheet that can capture allergens as small as .002 microns 35,000 times smaller than a typical human hair. Most fan-powered air cleaners move and filter larger dust particles but Hoover SilentAir Purifier also electronically and silently purifies the air in a home or office by releasing negative ions. These charged ions circulate throughout a room attaching themselves to particles in the air, such as dust, pollen, and bacteria. Then, the positively charged Dielectric Collection Sheet attract and trap these minute contaminants, removing them from the air rather than simply allowing the negatively charged particles to fall within the room. Hoover SilentAir Purifier is invaluable to those especially concerned with pure, pollutant-free air. Allergy sufferers receive assistance in controlling irritating molds, pollen, and animal dander. Non-smokers will enjoy an environment noticeably less polluted by secondhand smoke. Hoover SilentAir Purifier deodorizes rooms by removing odor-causing particles and removes irritants that affect tired eyes, and it can help reduce the health risks to babies and the elderly by removing airborne bacteria. But Hoover SilentAir Purifiers most important benefits are shared by everyone. Reduced stress and lessened tension can be benefits of its ionizing and air purifying process. The general feeling of well-being isn't hard to recognize, knowing Hoover SilentAir Purifier is quietly working to purify living and work spaces of pollutants and allergens.
