Cleaning agents make indoor air dirty

2009-10-30T04:11:00.000-07:00

You must be cleaning your house regularly to keep the environment healthy. But while using the cleaning agents you actually pollute the air. Cleaning agents are one of the causes of polluted air. So make sure that you have an air cleaner and an air purifier for home. We will try to know how these cleaning agents pollute the air.

Common petrochemical based cleaning products contribute in the toxicity level in your home. They are the only household products that are regulated under the 1960 Federal Hazardous Substances Labeling Act. Cleaning products contain ammonia, chlorine, detergents, artificial petroleum-based fragrances and many more ingredients which are well known for their toxic nature. You will not find many of these products in the work places as they are restricted by Occupational Health and Safety Administration’s (OSHA) regulations. But still these cleaning products are used in homes. As these cleaners contain harmful chemicals we suffer from various allergies and diseases as we come in contact with them. We can switch over to natural products which are cleaning agents as well. At the same time it is important to use indoor air purifiers. Various air cleaners like: chemical control air purifiers, odor control air purifiers and many like these would help you in eradicating the polluted air.

Make sure that air purifiers you use have HEPA filters or are UV air purifiers. The products of Oxynet Solutions are made using HEPA filters, we also have an air purifier with UV. Check out our products on our website www.oxynetsolutions.com.

UV rays are natural air cleaners

2009-10-16T18:49:00.000-07:00

We have discussed much about indoor air purifiers and we know that HEPA filters are the best to use. Along with HEPA air purifiers, UV air purifiers are equally important. So in this blog we will try to understand the importance of UV rays.

Ultra Violet rays are electromagnetic radiations which consist of electromagnetic waves with higher frequency. UV light is very essential for healthy living. Without it our lives would be full of diseases and deficiencies. The sun naturally emits UV rays, and it is responsible for the production of vitamin D in our body. UV rays acts as natural air purifiers. These rays are effective in destroying bacteria, mold and mildew, virus and fungus. They get through the outer cover of these items, alter their DNA and thus kill the microorganisms. Similarly sun acts as the natural air cleaner for the out side environment. Hence Ultra Violet rays are used in many purifying systems as these rays are effective in destroying the germs. UV light is known for its germicidal properties. It helps in eradicating germs, bacteria, bad odors, molds etc. it is impossible to live on the earth without this natural cleaning system. The research on UV rays has been going on since ages; it is proved that these rays are safe to be used as natural environment cleaners in homes and offices.

After reading this blog I hope that you would understand the importance of an air purifier with UV rays. For cleaner and better surrounding you must use Ultra Violet air purifiers by Oxynet Solutions.

Replacing indoor air with outdoor air

2009-10-14T18:39:00.000-07:00

It is said that outdoor air is cleaner than indoor air. So there have been discussions on replacing outdoor air with indoor air. How effective is this? Do you really think that following this system will reduce the usage of indoor air purifiers?

It definitely sounds good but does it actually make sense? Out door air is less polluted than indoor air but that doesn’t mean that it is not at all polluted. Reports around the nations show that up to 35 days per year in our large cities, the air is deemed unhealthy or very unhealthy. In such a situation how safe it is to let outdoor air replace indoor air? An air purifier for home is a must. The outdoor air contains gases and chemicals which are removed from factories and mills. Smokers pollute the air with their every puff. Smoke coming from vehicles contributes to pollution as well. So when you decide of bringing in this air, think again. The best option is using air cleaners. There are different types of air purifiers which will help you in cleaning your air. Various air purifiers like chemical control air purifiers, dust removal air purifiers, tobacco smoke air purifier and many more are available to make your surrounding healthy and clean.

You might think of various options for making indoor air purer. But the increasing use of HEPA air purifiers clearly indicates that the best and the safest way to fight the problem of air pollution is to use an air purifier.

Using an air purifier is an easiest way to fight with indoor air pollution. There are many substances which contribute in polluting the air. Carbon dioxide gas is one of the reasons of indoor air pollution.

Carbon dioxide is a gas formed due to metabolic activities, combustion activities and motor vehicles in garage. It is called dry ice in solid form. Carbon dioxide is not toxic itself. It is found in many products that we use in our houses moreover it is a product of human and animal respiration so it is found everywhere. Have a look at a few things where carbon dioxide is used:

· As a food preservative

· In carbonated beverages

· Fire extinguisher

· In chemical processing

· For low temperature testing of aviation, missile and electronic components

There are many health problems we suffer from when we are living in the atmosphere with high carbon dioxide level. It is next to impossible to remove unwanted amount of carbon dioxide. The only solution is to use air purifiers.

Different types of air purifiers

2009-09-18T15:27:00.001-07:00

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

2009-09-18T15:27:00.000-07:00

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.

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.

Rising hazards of indoor air pollution

2009-09-16T17:52:00.000-07:00

It is known that indoor air quality is worse than outdoor air quality. More time you spend indoor you are more prone to air borne diseases. Elderly people, children and women in your house spend more time indoors. Hence their chances to be affected with air borne diseases are doubled. For your health benefits use indoor air purifiers.

A report by WHO says that two-third deaths of children in African and South East Asian regions are due to indoor air pollution. Around the world in most of the societies women handle the house hold wok. This work involves mainly cooking and cleaning. Women spend nearly three to seven hours per day near the stove. This results in 59% of deaths in women due to indoor air pollution. Young children are close to their mothers even while their mothers are working. So the infants spend most of the time breathing indoor smoke. As a result 56% of kids under the age of five die due to the diseases caused by air pollution. Elderly people in the house are prone to diseases as they have low resistance power. On the other hand they spend more time indoors so harmful pollutants will affect their health faster. To prevent your family members from serious diseases of air pollution use air purifier for home.

We at Oxynet Solutions have various air purifiers to keep your home safe from air pollutants. Our air cleaners are 100% safe and medically approved. We value your good health as much as you do. We strongly believe that “Cleanliness is next to Godliness.”

Air cleaners and air purifiers would help us in solving the issue of polluted air. Some solvents present in our environment are harmful to our health, one of them is Benzene.

Benzene is a very common solvent and is used in manufacturing many items like plastic, oils, inks, gasoline and rubber. It is also used in making detergents, explosives, pharmaceuticals and dyes. We inhale the harmful pollutants present in these items. Use of these items containing Benzene is a cause of many diseases, like burning, inflammation, drying and irritation of skin, weakness, dizziness, euphoria, nausea, eating disorder, headache as well as tremors. It irks the eye and blurs the vision. It is also one of the causes of some dangerous diseases like:
