Technological advances have crept into virtually every aspect of our lives, and the majority of us feel like we either have to conform or get left behind. New products are designed to help us do things better, faster, or more efficiently. It can be a daunting task to keep up with all of the latest gadgets. Every once in a while a company will develop a product that offers cutting edge technology that takes the products in that category to another level. In the air cleaning market, AirFree Air Purifier is that company. The type of company that has risen above all of its competitors by creating products that will improve your quality of life.

Air purifiers are devices that clean the indoor air by getting rid of pollutants and toxins. Most people often think about filtering water but rarely think about filtering the air inside of their home, other than what their HVAC may do. Purifying the air is something that we all should think about especially if you have allergies, asthma, or a newborn baby in the home. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) virtually all indoor air quality (IAQ) is filled with pollutants and toxins that will negatively impact a person’s health.  Let’s discuss who needs a purifier and how purifiers typically work to purify the air.

 

Who Needs an Air Purifier?

Purifiers remove odor, viruses, germs, smoke, dust, airborne bacteria, and allergens released by animals and plants from indoor air. They also provide a small amount of circulation, which can be very helpful depending on your situation. Some scenarios are clear indicators that you could benefit from improving your IAQ. Take a look at who should be looking for an air purifier below:
Old Houses: Newer homes possess a more modern HVAC system (central air) which is much better at recycling indoor air with outdoor air. However, if your home is very old and do not have a ducted system, then you definitely should be concerned at the amount of pollutants floating around your home.

 

• Allergies: If anyone in your home suffers from itchy eyes, sneezing relentlessly, or have frequent headaches, then you may have an allergy problem.  
 
• Dust Mites: Some houses collect more dust than others which can cause short-term problems such as: irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue.    
 
• Unexplained Illness: If you have trouble breathing or shortness of breath for no reason, especially if it only happens when you are indoors, then your IAQ may be on the low side.  
 
• Stuffy or Stale Air: If the air in your home feels stuffy or smells stale, an air purifier will clean the air and neutralize any unpleasant odor.  
 
• Using Disinfectants: Many people are unaware of the dangers associated with using disinfectants. We all want to keep our house clean, but most disinfectants are made of harmful chemicals that can give off volatile organic compounds (VOC’s). Air purifiers remove VOCs.  
 
• Industrial Businesses: If you live near factories or businesses that actively release air pollutants into the environment it can negatively impact your long-term health. Also if construction is going on around your home then it is likely you are being exposed to particulate pollutants and could benefit from an air purifier.  
 

 

 

Five Types of Air Purifiers

All air purifiers are not created the same, which is why you should be well informed before making an investment. For example, you could purchase a purifier that is less expensive initially but cost more in the long run, due to the cost of filters. Or you could end up with one that produces Ozone which may cause lung irritation after extended use. It is essential to understand how air purifiers work in order to truly grasp why Airfree air purifiers are so unique.

 

 

• HEPA Technology: This is the type of air purifier that appears at the top of most lists when discussing the different types of air purifiers, mainly because it has been around the longest. Air purifiers usually have a filter, or multiple filters, in addition to a fan that pulls in air before pushing the air back out.  HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air and the filters must trap at least 99.97% of all particles larger than 0.3 microns. The downside to this is that HEPA air purifiers usually do not remove odors, chemicals or gases. However the upside is that they are very effective in remove the smallest of particles.  In addition to the purchase price of an air purifier, you should consider filter replacement costs.  
 
• Activated Carbon Technology: This type of technology is most effective when working in conjunction with HEPA technology but can be used alone. Activated carbon technology relies on the process of absorption and will remove impurities that HEPA technology cannot capture. Activated carbon filters are made up of pores that have high absorbent ability and chemical bonding. These filters are highly effective for capturing and eliminating pollutants such as: chemical emissions, gases, tobacco smoke and odors. The con is that they are less effective in removing allergens and airborne particles.    
 
• UV Technology: UV technology is another type of system that works well with another filter system. This system does not really get rid of airborne particles but is most effective against germs such as bacteria and viruses. These types of air purifiers typically come with a UV lamp, and as microorganisms pass by the UV rays, their cells are destroyed. A UV air purifier can change oxygen and water from your inside air into ozone and hydroxyl. The ozone destroys the bad stuff in the air and may irritate your lungs, eyes, and skin.  
 
• Negative Ion: These types of air purifiers use chemical injections to clean the air. It is important for you to understand that an ion is a natural particle that has either a positive charge or a negative charge. The negative or positive charge comes from either gaining or losing an electron. The negative ions are oxygen atoms that have gained an electron, which makes them negative. Negative ions attract airborne particles like pollen or dust mites, but those particles eventually become too heavy to hang in the air, so they fall and attach to something in the room. It has been said that these types of air purifiers do not destroy anything, but only mask the problem and transfer the pollutants to you wall or furniture.  
 
• Ozone: These air purifiers produce a gas called ozone (O₃). Ozone is supposed to kill any pollutants or toxins in your indoor air. These types of purifiers have also been said to simply mask the problem while potentially creating even more health problems for anyone using them. Studies conducted by health professionals argue that ozone purifiers are not safe and the EPA warn against using these types of purifiers. Exposure to ozone can produce scare tissue on the lungs.  
 

 

The Benefits of Using an AirFree Air Purifier

Airfree Air Purifiers are unlike any other purifiers on the market, because they do not use a filter and are silent. Airfree destroys pollutants instead of trapping them or attracting those toxins to other surfaces like a negative ion purifier, or ozone purifier.  This company use a patented Thermodynamic TSS Technology which enables the permanent destruction of mold, dust mites, bacteria, viruses, pollens, pet dander, tobacco and other organic allergens.

Airfree gets rid of 99.99% of all microorganisms without creating Ozone. In fact, Airfree reduces Ozone and do not give off any by-product from purifying the air. The advanced technology enables their line of air purifiers to work without filters or a fan, which means you can literally plug them up and forget about them. These purifiers constantly pull air inside the unit, heating it up to 400℉ to sterilize the air. You are probably wondering, “will these air purifiers make the room hot?”

Although these purifiers do not use fans, the air that comes back out of the purifier is cooled down before being pushed back into the room. There are NO side effects, NO emissions, NO IONS, nor new particles are generated. Airfree can be used in homes and offices because they are so quiet and efficient at purifying the air. Each purifier uses less energy than one 60-watt light bulb, and there are no filters which means less cost in the long run.

Airfree has several models of air purifiers and the main difference is the design and coverage area. The Airfree Iris 3000, the Airfree P3000, and the Airfree Lotus are all effective for room sizes up to 650 square feet. The Airfree T800 is more suitable for smaller sized rooms and will cover up to 180 square feet. The Airfree P1000 and Airfree Tulip 1000 both cover medium sized rooms and is effective for rooms sized up to 450 square feet.
