Before you purchase an air purifier you may be wondering why do we need air purifiers? …or do we really need air purifiers? I know I thought that before I got one.
This brief summary should help you understand why we really do need air purifiers and more so than ever today.
The indoor air in you average home is often polluted at a much higher level than the outside air. Here are a few facts about indoor air that are more than often not known:
- One of the top environmental concerns in the country is indoor air pollution.
- Today Americans on average are indoors 90% of the time
- The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has estimated indoor pollution levels today could be as much as 2 to 5 times higher than outdoor pollutant levels.
- Asthmatic & allergic reactions are often in direct relation to indoor air pollutants like dust, animal dander, mold, pollen and cigarette smoke.
So now you know. An air purifier is a product we should all be thinking about for a healthier way of living not just as a preventative for allergy and asthma sufferers.
