Odor Air Purifiers: Reviews of Ionic Breeze, Holmes and HEPA
Odor air purifiers are becoming necessary components in the modern household.
If you're like most people, there are occasionally odors inside your house,
in a vehicle, or even outside. Ironically, the EPA (Environmental Protection
Agency) estimates that indoor air quality is typically far less healthy
than the air outside, given the amount of dust, dander, pollen and bacteria
particles floating around. Instead of spraying a disinfectant to merely
get rid of the odor, why not buy a complete air purification system? Ionic Breeze Quadra Air Purifier One popular model is the Ionic Breeze Quadra model from Sharper Image. This model unlike many models from competitors EcoQuest, Oreck and Trion, features an ionic generated filter, which charges particles and attracts them to a metal plate. Because of this the Ionic Breeze Qaudra has no need of a filter. This makes clean up easier and the device far less expensive than other models. On many pricier models, filters need to be regularly replaced, and if the filter costs over $200.00 (which some can) then it is quite an expense. However the Quadra tested poorly with Consumer Reports, due to its size and limited power, as well as excessive amounts of ozone production. Ionic Breeze Car Air Purifier
Ionic Breeze units are also specially made for vehicles. No question many
kinds of pollutants can dirty your car’s air, from mold spores,
to secondhand tobacco smoke, and even dander off of pet owners. With the
Ionic Breeze Car Air Purifier you can not only improve the smell, but
also clean and purify the air. Other models include Surround Air, and
Neo Tec. The performance of these models is fair to good; small ionic
cleaners though not necessarily good for a complete room, can effectively
clean the inside of a vehicle because of the limited space. Holmes Humidifier If you want to control the humidity of your home a Holmes Humidifier may be your preferred choice. They can humidify a room up to 3400 square feet. There are drawbacks, however, mainly involving refilling and replacing parts rather frequently. History Of The Development Of HEPA Filters HEPA (highly efficient particulate absorbing) filters are believed to be 99.97% effective in removing dust, pollen, mold, bacteria and other particles at least 0.3 micrometers. HEPA filters were designed in the 1940s and were used to prevent to spread of radioactive contaminants. In the following decade the technology was commercialized. Shortly after HEPA became a trademark, it became a general term for all highly efficient filters. Today a HEPA filter can be referring to any high quality filter—provided it can reach the industry standard performance of 99.97% and 0.3 micrometers or larger. Opening a window is not the solution for eliminating odors and getting a breath of fresh air. If anything, opening a window could bring more pollutants inside. There’s nothing wrong with opening a window, but for your own health and comfort, why not purchase an air cleaner purifier and eliminate the unhealthy particles completely? |
