Different types of air purifiers

We all understand the requirement of indoor air purifiers in our homes and offices. But would you not like to know how these air cleaners work and which is the best air purifier for your home? There are mainly four types of air purifiers:

1. Electronic air purifiers: The electronic air purifier draws the particles towards them using a fan and charges them with high voltage wires. There are a few plates with opposite charge they attract the contaminants passing by the plates. Electronic purifiers are inexpensive but they give a byproduct called “ozone”.

2. Ionic air purifiers: The Ionic air purifiers use needles or tiny charged wires to create gas molecules with negative charge. These attract airborne particles and collect them in the filter. The ionic air purifiers can remove only certain types of air pollutants. They are not very effective in removing gases, odors and chemicals. They also produce “ozone”.

3. HEPA air purifiers: The HEPA air purifiers are the safest to use. They remove even smaller particles like dust, smoke, chemicals, asbestos, pollen, and pet dander. The air becomes purer every time when it passes through these filters.

4. UV air purifiers: The UV air purifiers kill the contaminants instantly. It protects us from biological and viral adulterants.

The products of Oxynet Solutions are made using effective filters. The filters used in our machines can remove 99.97% of all airborne particulate matter larger than 0.3 microns in diameter. We use UV system and HEPA filters in manufacturing our air cleaners. Our products feature a 100% clean and secure technology.

History of HEPA air purifiers

Indoor air pollution causes many serious diseases. We see many people around us suffering from asthma and various allergies. Asthma air purifiers and allergy air purifiers are made especially for the people suffering from these diseases. Indoor air pollution is increasing day by day. Today air cleaners and air purifiers are well known and are used in almost all homes and offices. But let us try to understand when this idea of using air cleaners came into existence.

You might be in an assumption that using air cleaner is a new craze. But in reality different types of air purification systems are used for more than 200 years. Since the 1800’s, scientists all over the world have been working on various methods to make our air purer. Today many types of indoor air purifiers are available but the safest of them is HEPA air purifier. Formerly HEPA filters were used by soldiers for protection from radioactive particles on the battlefield. But they were not effective in fighting with radioactive particles. Later on studies proved that HEPA filters are best for the protection from chlorine gas, mustard gas, and flame throwers. In the year 1960 Department of Energy officially standardized the qualifications and the name "High Efficiency Particulate Air”. Department of Energy states that HEPA filters remove at least 99.97% of dust, pollen, mold, bacteria and any airborne particles with a size of 0.3 microns at 85 litres per minute.

The products by Oxynet Solutions are made using HEPA filters. While buying an air purifier for home, make sure that they have HEPA filters.

Lovely fragrances add to air pollution

We all love perfumes with different fragrances. Since ages perfumes and different scented products are used in rituals and for personal care. Perfumes are just part of our lives. But the cruel fact is that perfumes also pollute the air. It has become compulsory to use indoor air purifiers because we use so many scented products everyday.

Around three thousand chemicals are used in the manufacturing of fragrances. They are also used to produce flavourings. Many of these are the derivatives of petrochemicals. Let us check out some of the products that we use everyday which are scented. Detergents, personal care products, laundry products, antibacterial products and air fresheners. These are a few but there might be many more products in our houses which are aromatic and pollute the indoor air. Using an air purifier is a must as it is not possible to stop using all these products. These fragrances when experienced frequently and in extreme level give rise to health problems. You must have observed a few people around you who are sensitive to fragrances. Diseases associated with fragrances are: migraine, dizziness, nausea, problems in concentration, breathing problems and allergies. Some studies also say that the main cause of asthma is fragrances. To stop these fragrances from spreading in the air you must use air purifier for home and office.

Children are more prone to these diseases and most of the time they are passive users. So make the environment around you and your loved ones healthy by installing odor control air purifiers by Oxynet Solutions.
