Allergies, Air Cleaners and a Healthy Lifestyle

For so many allergy sufferers, spring and summer can be an uncomfortable and dreadful period of time. With Americans spending nearly 90% of their time indoors, it is of the utmost importance that your home has good quality air to help reduce the amount of contaminants you breathe everyday. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) concluded that indoor air pollution is among the top five environmental dangers to humans. The EPA also showed that indoor air can be up to 100 times more polluted than the worst outdoor air! With these kinds of statistics, it is more important than ever to ensure that you have good clean indoor air to prevent your allergy symptoms from taking over your life.

An estimated 50 million Americans suffer from some type of allergy whether food, indoor/outdoor, insect, or other according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) with 40 million suffering from indoor/outdoors allergies alone! Allergies are the 5th leading chronic disease in the U.S. among all ages, with almost $7 billion spent on annual allergy related costs. Allergies, also called ‘hay fever’, is a major cause of work absenteeism resulting in nearly 4 million lost work days each year and totaling a loss of more than $700 million in productivity. In fact, according to the AAFA, over 700 deaths occur each year as a direct result from different types of allergies. As you can see, allergies are not something that should be taken lightly and neither is the treatment and prevention of them.

With indoor/outdoor allergies typically come itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing, conjunctivitis, coughing and difficulty breathing. All these symptoms make life that much harder to live productively, efficiently, and happily. Your energy levels are down, you can’t see your work as well, daily activities become a hassle, and face it, you definitely don’t look your best with red puffy eyes and tissue stuck to your nose. The thing is that you can prevent some of these symptoms from ever forming by having excellent air quality in your home. The most important step in indoor allergy reduction is removal of the source of the allergen or irritant. This means removing all dust by vacuuming regularly and keeping a very clean home, getting rid of irritating furniture, pets, rugs, carpet, etc that may be the cause of the allergy symptoms. But for most of us, we can’t rid ourselves of the family pet, the couch we worked so hard to pay for, or our carpet. It simply isn’t that easy, so we need something to help us keep the air and surface clean and free of unwanted allergens.

Air Filters and air purifiers are completely different and need to be looked at separately to decipher which is best for your type of allergy. For instance, a HEPA Filter-based unit like our Blueair Air Cleaners or Coway Air Cleaners work wonders on removing 99.97% of particles down to .3 microns in size. These units will dramatically reduce allergy symptoms that are derived from unwanted particles floating in the air and reduce the amount of allergens in your home. These filter based units work best for people suffering from dust, pollen and dander allergies. On the other hand, UV Light Air Purifiers like our Biozone Air Purifiers will actually seek and destroy any living contaminants in your home thus preventing the reproduction and multiplication of the unwanted particles. This type of unit is the best for people with mold or dust mite allergies. The Biozone Air Purifier with its UV Germicidal Light Technology is also great for reducing the amount of colds and flues people generally experience throughout the year because it kills bacteria, viruses, and germs on the spot thereby preventing the spread of more. So as you see, it’s best to know which air cleaner works for your type of allergy.
