Modern educated people are do all sorts of things to stay health and well. From eating organic foods, to taking supplements, drinking only filtered water, getting good exercise and sleep, there’s often one area that tends to get overlooked and it may be the primary cause of healthy people getting sick, even when they seem to be doing all the right things—indoor air quality.
Indoor air quality has recently been placed in the top 5 major health threats by the EPA—and that means it’s a really big problem. We typically spend over 90% of our lives indoors, at home, in rooms and offices, breathing polluted air. Polluted air? Yes, studies have recently shown that over 95% of homes and over 80% of offices have significant levels of indoor air pollution from dust, dust mites, mold spores, paint & carpet fumes & fibers, and many other sources. And no, the A/C filter, even the best filters, do not remove very much of the tiny particle type pollutants and none of the chemical or gas pollutants that cause the health issues.
And if humans inhale about 3000 gallons of air per day and 90% of that time is spent indoors, if we don’t have a quality air scrubber running, that means each of us is getting about 2700 gallons of polluted air every day. Now, those of us doing all we can to be healthy and strengthen our immune systems tend to have an advantage, but when the pollutants build up to a certain point, even the most health –conscious will begin getting sick.
For those smart individuals that use one or more of the best home & office air purifiers on a daily basis, however, they tend to stay well and have more energy than their friends that don’t think air quality is anything to worry about. Why? Well, it only makes sense that if one group is breathing air loaded with infectious agents like bacteria & viruses on a daily basis, and other group is breathing clean air every day, which one do you think is going get sick more often?
It’s a lot like water filtration: when we found out that most public water has a lot of things in it that aren’t the best for our bodies, we decided to filter it or drink bottled water. Now that you know that most indoor air is polluted and has even been shown to contain about 200 live dust mites per gram of dust, for example, you’ll definitely want to filter your air!
Which portable air purification system should you buy? A good rule of thumb is this: if it doesn’t have a HEPA filter, a good activated carbon filter, a pre-filter to prevent premature clogging of the main filters, and at least an output of about 175 CFM (closer to 400 is best), you probably don’t want it. That’s because it truly requires an air scrubber with a certified HEPA filter to remove those tiny allergy & illness causing dust, mold spores, bacteria, & other particles—HEPA style or lesser filters just don’t cut it.
The carbon is required to remove the odors & chemical residues, and the pre-filters really do a great job of preventing premature clogging of the other filters. And—if the output is less than about 90 CFM, it will take too long to cycle or clean all of the air in a room, especially with an A/C vent constantly blowing new polluted air from dirty ducts into the room. An output of about 90 CFM will clean the air in an average room (800 cubic feet) in about 10 minutes. Most of your best portable room air cleaners with HEPA filters have an output of 200-400 CFM, which means they’ll clean all of the air in 2-5 minutes, which means the air scrubber will almost always grab pollutants before you or your family can breathe them.
And with an A/C constantly circulating those pollutants, you want a high output room air scrubber to ‘breathe’ them first—otherwise, you breathe them first and that’s defeating the purpose. So you do tend to get what you pay for; most cheap air purifiers have low outputs and cheap, under-powered filters—the best air cleaners have certified HEPA & carbon filters, strong output rates and good warranties, for a few cents per day more. Is it worth a few cents per day to get the most out all the hard work you do to stay well? We think so.
