Quality air purification systems include multiple technologies, Hepa filters, and an ozone generator. Every household does not need the same ionic air purifier, but there are some types to avoid as well as some that come highly recommended by health professionals. Many factors lead a consumer to choose one purifier over another. These include unit cost, carbon output, electricity consumption, and maintenance costs. In addition a person needs to be aware of the simple fact of needed versus possible toxin elimination in each unit being considered. While some units may offer better electricity efficiency, others may offer a more through detoxification of the atmospheric toxins.
Hepa air filters offer efficiency and durability. Systems with hepa filters are desired due to their safety as well as their effectiveness in removing dust, pollen, and bacteria. In contrast, these filters do not remove chemical toxins, odors, or germs. A hepa filter is best used in conjunction because they kill complimentary toxins creating a more complete system. An activated carbon filter can also succeed in the same detoxification efforts. In addition, the carbon filter does not omit additional toxins creating other problems for the consumer to later deal with. The ozone generator does not offer as safe of an option, but cleans the atmosphere completely and should be able to be turned off when people are near. An ionic air purifier creates negative ions which ultimately fall on the floor to be cleaned up with a vacuum or broom. The efficiency of this method is best, but only if the furniture and floor are cleaned regularly to eliminate the infected ions. Removal of the most dangerous and most microscopic toxins is accomplished by this type of machine without the use (or cost) of filters. This type of machine is successful at neutralizing viruses, bacteria, smoke, and chemical fumes. In contrast these types of air purification systems do not remove odors, kill germs or actually remove the negative particles from the atmosphere.
To offset the negative characteristics of these systems other components are complimentary. Hepa filters collect the negative ionized particles and an ozone generator removes odor and bacteria, but should only be used when the room is unoccupied. A germicidal UV lamp will kill germs and an activated carbon air filter will capture chemical fumes. There are units available that accomplish all these things, but they come with a hefty price. Like the ionic air purifier, there are pros and cons to each of these components as well. Though the UV lamp helps with the prevention of disease, it does not eliminate allergens or toxic fumes. Likewise, the activated carbon air filter is the most absorbent filter, but does not remove dust or other allergens especially from across the room. The ozone generator effectively removes bacteria and chemicals, but the smell can cause irritation to the throat and eyes.
Electricity consumption is another factor to consider when purchasing a unit. When considering the cost of air purification systems carefully evaluate the added costs which include electricity and filter replacement. This can add over $300 a year to general home maintenance costs. A rule of thumb to follow is that for every watt of electricity needed to run the ionic air purifier it will cost $1 a year. This may not sound like a lot, but when multiple units are used at the average of 100 watts per unit the cost quickly climbs. Another factor when comparing air purification systems is the noise it will produce. If the unit is placed in an infrequently visited room such as the basement, noise may not be a deciding factor. The ultimate goal of any system should be personally evaluated before getting bogged down by information that may or may not affect the specific situation. Having a professional mold and air inspector evaluate a suspicious room or the whole house can pinpoint specific problems in order to solve the problem instead of simply treating the symptoms. For example, if a leak in the roof is causing moisture build up in the attic an ionic air purifier would eliminate some of the toxins caused by the problem, but the ultimate solution is to fix the roof and replace any infect surfaces in the attic. "And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they be thy due, and thy sons' due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel." (Leviticus 10:14)
Home maintenance is crucial to the life of any home and its occupants. Educating oneself in proper airflow as well as acceptable humidity levels can be an important natural way to reduce the effects of mold and allergens in a home. Sealing windows and doorways can help keep heat in, but an over insulated house can lead to mold infestation due to air and moisture having nowhere to go. In addition, clean and flat surfaces create a more difficult environment for toxins of any kind to breed on. In addition to proper maintenance air purification systems can create the healthiest environment possible for and business or household. Checklists are available in home improvement books found at the local building center or library. A building that is properly maintained can last a long time despite the quality or age of products used in the original construction.
