Air Purification Is Critical This Flu Season
IAQ = The Level of Air Purification Inside A Home
Air Purification should be prevelent on your mind. The H1N1 virus is spreading like wildfire. Common sense hygiene helps, like using hand sanitizer and washing your hands throughout the day. But there's more you can do. An Air Purification system for your home is affordable, and it can do wonders for your family's well being.
Think of
Indoor Air Quality like drinking water quality. There are different qualities of drinking water, from kitchen faucet water to filtered water, to the myriad of bottled spring water on the market. And, not all water is drinkable (potable) because the quality of the water hasn't been designed and cleaned properly for people to ingest. Likewise, not all air is healthy to breathe without being treated. In fact, indoor air can be far more polluted than outdoor air.
What's the solution?
Fortunately, air inside a home can be cleaned properly with the right equipment. And in my professional opinion, the best air purification system on the market right now is PureAir®.
It's the only single indoor air quality system designed to attack all three classes of indoor air contaminants:
- Small, breathable particles such as dust, dirt, pollen and allergens
- Airborne mold spores, bacteria and viruses
- Odors and chemical vapors
Features of the system include:
- Hospital inpatient care/general surgery level filtration
- MERV 16* Precision pleat™ media filter
- Removes OVER 95% of particles ranging in size down to 0.3 micron*
- Removes OVER 90% of bioaerosols ranging in size down to 0.01 micron**
- Removes and destroys approximately 50% of household odors and chemical vapors in a 24-hour period***
Purified air = less bacteria, dust and contaminants circulating throughout your home and into your lungs. All of these factors add up to real value for the health of your home and family. As part of our inspection, we provide a complimentary Home HealthTM Report Card, a summary of your home's Indoor Air Quality.

*MERV = Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. Describes the filter's ability to capture particles and ranges from 1 to 16. Typical fiberglass filter = MERV 1. The higher the MERV rating, the better the filtration. **One micron = 1/25,000 of an inch in diameter. ***Based on laboratory and field studies. ****U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, "Ozone Generators that are Sold as Air Cleaners: An Assessment of Effective and Health Consequences," August 2006
