Common sources of indoor air pollution(Source: EPA):
Airborne chemicals and VOCs from building materials and furnishings, asbestos-containing insulation, cleaning products, personal care products, paint, textiles, pesticides, combustion appliances, arts and crafts supplies, and many more
Poor ventilation and improperly maintained HVAC systems
Particles such as dust, pollen dander
Biological pollutants such as bacteria and viruses
Mold due to water infiltration, leaking roofs, wet or damp carpets, etc.
Tobacco products
Radon, outdoor air pollution
How air purifiers help
A HEPA filter alone is unable to filter out chemicals and irritating odors because HEPA only removes particles. You need both a HEPA and a large activated carbon filter to also remove airborne chemicals and gases that are harmful to human health.
AllerAir specializes in these types of air purifiers and will help you find the best air cleaner for your indoor air problems. Contact us directly or learn more: 5 Steps to Find the Best Air Purifier.
