Reasons for Using HEPA Air Purifier

Benefits of a HEPA Air Purifier

The particles in the air can be damaging to your health. Health complaints can be caused by breathing in these particles. People want to remove lots of these particles.

Filters make this possible. A special filter is needed to filter out these tiny particles. These are known as HEPA filters. HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Arresting. These filters have been around ever since the 1950's. These filters were created as a way of protecting the army from radioactive fallout.

Allergies and Air Purification System

People that I work with told me that this sounded like allergies. One of my co-workers that has allergies said that her symptoms were especially bad this spring.

Ionizing Air Purifier History and Function

Air purifiers come in a variety of forms. One such type is the ionic air purifier.

Brief History of Ionic Purifier Development

1974 saw research emanating from the Swiss Meteorological Institute on why it was that people were negatively affected (e.g. headaches, depression, heart attacks) by various trade winds around the earth. Known winds such as the Sirocco in Italy, the Mistral in France, the Sharav in the Middle East and the Foehn in Switzerland were examined.

What came out of these studies was one common factor in all cases was the prevalence of a super high concentration of positively charged ions in the winds. Areas of recent rainfall or close to a waterfall were also found to contain largely negatively charged air-borne particles. Whilst positive ions detracted from a person's health, negative ions promoted health, benefits (e.g. increased plant and animal growth, improved animal relaxation and alertness) were seen above 1000 negative ions per cubic centimeter of air.
