Defeating Swine Flu

With the flu catching up quickly in all parts of the world, Mecca in the Middle East is no luckier either. With millions of pilgrims visiting Mecca, the illness is bound to spread in this region. It is best not to panic, but wise to follow all the steps to help prevent swine flu from spreading. A lot of people are curious about whether an air purifier for the home and work place can help especially in times like these. I am sure that this blog will be able to clear your doubts.

Swine flu / swine influenza is spread just like any other ordinary flu and is majorly an air-borne disease. The virus gets transferred from one person to another through the air. The only way to prevent breathing such contaminated air indoors is by opting for an indoor air purifier. Influenza viruses can live on objects for a maximum of 24 hours. Thus it also spreads by touching contaminated surfaces and touching your nose or mouth after that. This leaves us to conclude that an air purifier is useful only to prevent those viruses spreading through the air.

But which air purifier removes viruses that are 80-120 nanometers / 0.12 micrometers in size? HEPA air purifiers are successful at eliminating particles that are 0.3 and larger in size. Ultraviolet air purifiers also eliminate air borne particles such as these. The air purifying machines sold by Oxynet Solutions are of high quality as they are made under strict quality standards.
