Air pollutants can cause an array of symptoms, but the most common ones are eye and nose irritation, headaches, dizziness, throat irritation, and fatigue. In extreme circumstances, these pollutants can cause cancer, heart disease, and other respiratory diseases.
Asthma is also a relatively common respiratory disease and is aggravated by pet hair, pollen, dust mites, and various other pollutants.
An air purifier’s job is to cleanse the air of these hazards and contaminants by using an activated carbon cleanse. This is a very porous carbon that is used to filter and trap any harmful chemicals and then replace the room with fresh unpolluted air.
This article is going to touch on the effects of poor air quality on a human being’s health, and how to prevent these common ailments by using an air purifier system.
Understanding The Different Types of Pollutants
The main types of pollutants are as follows:
Nitrogen dioxide
Nitrogen dioxide stems from indoor gas cookers and road traffic. Many people cook with gas and nitrogen dioxide being emitted from vehicles passing your home is in many cases unavoidable.
Sulphur dioxide
This pollutant is caused by burning fossil fuels.
Particulate Matter
Particle matter can be described as a mix of both liquid droplets and solids that come from road traffic and the combustion of fuel. Unfortunately, this is the pollutant that is the most dangerous to a person’s well-being and health.
What Do Air Purifiers Do?
The job of an air purifier is to take stale air in and clear it of pollutants that can cause acute health problems before letting the air back into your home. Essentially, they keep the polluted air out and let the clean air in.
What are The Benefits of an Air Purifier?
An air purifier has many benefits. With the current air purifier technologies, almost all the pollutants that can invade your home are eliminated before they can cause health risks.
No More Chemicals Inside
Unfortunately, keeping your windows and doors closed does not mean that these pollutants are going to stay out of your home. Nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide are gases that can easily find their way into your home no matter how hard you try to keep them out. The closer you live to roads and vehicles, the more these pollutants are going to be able to invade your home.
Luckily, exposure to these chemicals in small doses can be relatively harmless, but continuous exposure can lead to several health issues including cancers, and neurological and cardiovascular disorders.
An air purifier greatly diminishes the risk of these harmful chemicals from getting into your home by purifying the air before allowing it into your living space.
Get Rid of Funny Odours
Air purifiers are also a great way to ward off odours that can be caused by paint, sprays, and air fresheners. While these air sprays and fresheners do smell nice, they can cause nausea and even impair cognitive function in high doses.
Fewer Airborne Diseases in Your Home
Pathogens spread illnesses such as the common cold and flu and can cause an entire household to get sick. Air that has not been purified carries these pathogens as well as other viruses and bacteria that can cause illness.
