Cleaning agents make indoor air dirty

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

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.

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.
