The moment we think about 'air pollution,' we envision the smoke, vehicular and industrial emissions. Surprisingly (in fact awfully), many studies have proved that quality of indoor air is 2 to 5 times polluted than the outdoor air. Every one of us has to deal with indoor air pollution as most of us (Americans) spend up to 90% of our time indoors, where the risks associated with air pollution are far more than the outdoors.
Why do we need a best air purifier?
Pollutants such as dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, dust mites and their feces are very common indoors (homes or offices). They cause allergies which include asthma (sometimes can be very serious), recurring headaches, fatigue, runny nose, watery eyes etc.
Apart from the airborne particles discussed above, indoors are filled with harmful gases that pose serious threat to our health. Some of the harmful gases very common indoors are Volatile Organic Compounds or (VOC's). These gases are generally emitted from some of the commonly used materials such as cleaning solutions, building materials, adhesives, paints, varnishes etc. Other harmful gases indoors include tobacco smoke, radon, fuel combustion fumes etc. which may cause serious respiratory problems.
