Air Purifiers address Health Club Issues

| Air Purifiers: | Allerair, 6000 Exec UV |
| Location: | Provo, Utah |
Since indoor air is enclosed and circulates around the same room, it can be very harmful for people to breathe if contaminated and. The air is trapped inside and once the contamination is apparent, the air has no way to escape or become clean. Although a large indoor area may seem to have safer air than a smaller area, that may not always be the case. Sizing air purifiers to the appropriate square footage is critical. Even though a large space gives the air more room and time to circulate, if the air is contaminated in the large space, it is just as dangerous as a small room of contaminated indoor air. Many public places and businesses deal with the issue of contaminated air. Some of these places of business are large rooms, which may be hard to keep clean. There are not many air purifiers that are able to handle such large spaces and keep the indoor air clean. Allerair's 6000 Exec UV, however, is a model of air purifier that is able to handle large indoor spaces.
Robert Hall, the manager of a health club in Provo, Utah was in need of an air quality solution. The club that he manages is equipped with a large Olympic-sized indoor pool. The pool itself is kept spotlessly clean and is often busy. There are many high school teams and private swimming lessons that occur in the indoor pool. Along with these swimmers who swim in lessons or for practice come a large amount of spectators. Moms, dads and coaches of the swimmers often sit on the bleachers on the sidelines of the indoor pool to watch the swimmers perform. Although the pool may seem clean, the spectators often noticed that the air quality within the indoor pool is not very clean. The pool often splashes water onto the walls of the building, which has caused mold to grow. The mold in the air has caused the sir to smell stale. The mold spores that enter the indoor air have contaminated it. Some spectators complained of a headache or becoming nauseous when they spent time on the bleachers by the pool. The mold inside the room was circulating over and over, causing these spectators to breathe in more contaminants. After hearing a few complaints and experiencing the stale air for himself, Mr. Hall knew he had to come up with a solution to make the air by the pool safe for the spectators to breathe.
Mr. Hall shopped for air purifiers and chose to purchase the Allerair because of its ability to handle a large room. 6000 air purifiers can clean a room that is up to 1800 square feet in size so the indoor pool room would be no sweat for the unit to handle. This model of air purifier is also equipped with an ultraviolet germicidal lamp. This lamp is very effective at helping the unit to remove bacteria and germs that may be present in the air. These air purifiers are also able to absorb any particles and contaminants in the indoor air. The 6000 easily eliminates mold spores from the air because it is able to remove mycotoxins from the contaminated air with the efficient ultraviolet lamp. Mycotoxins are what can cause people to experience the side effects of air that is contaminated with mold. These air purifiers are equipped with many different filters and compounds in order to remove bacteria, viruses, mold, particles and chemicals from the air. Keep in mind however that it it better to eliminate the source of the pollution or small rather than employ air purifiers.
Once Mr. Hall ran the 6000 Exec UV in the pool room, he immediately saw a change in the air. The air no longer smelled of musty mold and chlorine but it now smelled fresh and clean. The spectators no longer complained of having side effects of breathing in contaminated air. They complimented Mr. Hall on the cleanliness of the air by the pool. They were now happy to come and watch the swimmers since their environment smelled healthy and clean. Mr. Hall was able to run the unit during the nighttime in the pool room in order to assure there would be clean air present in the morning. The mold spores that were present in the air from the water damage to the walls were no longer a health factor for anyone in the pool room. 6000 Exec UV air purifiers quickly eliminate these mold spores. By purchasing the air purifier, Mr. Hall made the indoor pool an even safer and healthier place for people to spend their time. Air purifiers are especially effective when UV light is added to the technology mix.
Air Purifier addresses Nursing Home Issues

| Air Purifier: | Allerair, 5000 Exec UV |
| Location: | Fayetteville, North Carolina |
Germs being present in indoor air are a problem that everyone has to deal with. There are many bacteria and viruses that are present in the air that people are exposed to on a daily basis. With contaminated air, the probability of a sickness spreading is very high. The best way to keep indoor air clean and free from these harmful bacteria is with an air purifier. Allerair's 5000 Exec UV is one model of air purifier that targets bacteria and viruses in indoor air. With the use of this model, many harmful contaminants can be eliminated from the air including pollen, dust and mold spores. The model also includes an extra medium that is able to absorb and eliminate bacteria and viruses that may be present in the air. There are many places such as residences and businesses where the 5000 Exec UV may be a useful asset for quality indoor air.
Allerair's 5000 Exec UV came in handy for the Fayetteville Nursing Home is Fayetteville, North Carolina. Carrie Anderson, the director and administrator for the Fayetteville Home, knew that an air cleaner would be the best purchase for the home. There was one room where most of the residents of the home spent most of their time. There were a few chessboards set up, a TV and many lounging chairs for the seniors to spend their time in. With so many people spending time in one room together, Carrie knew there must be many bacteria and germs circulating throughout the air. The senior citizens that lived in the home were also very sensitive to any dust or pollen that was present in the indoor air. Older people generally have weaker immune systems than younger people and get sick or react to certain contaminants a lot more severely and faster than other people. If one resident of the home was sick, it was certain that after spending a day cooped up in the same room as the other residents, the other residents would also catch the sickness. The bacteria and dust particles in the room of the nursing home were causing problems for the senior citizens. The only way for them to be healthier and able to enjoy their day in the room together is if the indoor air was of higher quality.
Carrie purchased the 500 Exec UV for its effectiveness and efficiency. The air purifier is able to clean a room that is 1500 square feet in size. Carrie was able to place the air purifier in the main room and it could easily clean the large room in no time. The 5000 Exec UV contains the same filters as the other effective air purifiers. It is able to remove particles, pollen and dust from the air inside a room. The HEPA filter and pre-filter inside the air purifier absorbs and eliminates mold spores, particles and odors from the air. Once the air has moved through these efficient filters, it is then moved to a UV lamp. The 10-watt UV lamp is able to eliminate the bacteria and viruses from the air that passes through it. The lamp is also able to trap and eliminate mold spores in the air and any other toxins that may have been missed by the previous filters. With the technologies of the filters and the UV lamp combined, Allerair's 5000 Exec UV air purifier is able to eliminate most harmful contaminants from the air.
After running the 5000 Exec UV, Carrie found that the residents of the nursing home didn't get sick as often. When one resident suffered from a cold or virus, there was no longer a fear that other residents would then catch the virus. The air inside the main room of the nursing home was more fresh and clean smelling. Since the unit only uses 95 watts of power when placed on the high setting, Carrie was able to run the unit overnight in the main room. With the unit running throughout the night, the morning air inside the main room was crisp and clean. The residents of the nursing home were able to enter the main room and experience fresh and safe air. The air inside was no longer full of toxins or contaminants that could cause allergic reactions or viruses to spread. Thanks to the 5000 Exec UV air purifier, the nursing home's main room was much healthier for the residents and workers.
Spring, Preparing for Allergies with Air Purifiers
Spring, Preparing for Allergies with Air Purifiers
Employing air purifiers for the relief of allergies is just one aspect of getting ready for a new season. The coming of spring is often a mixed blessing to the vast numbers of Americans who suffer from allergies. We're glad that the hard, cold days of winter are over, but have little enthusiasm for the coming months of sneezing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. Most people procrastinate about preparing for the season so that it hits them with a vengeance and only then do they remember. If you had allergies last year, there's a pretty good chance you will this year as well. Using air purifiers alone will help but a more holistic approach will help even more with your allergies. WHile air purifiers can help while you are in your home you must be prepared to face the pollen and pollution outside.
The following are tips on preparing your life, your home, and your work environment for allergy season. It is especially important not to procrastinate if you have children with allergies. Children have a tough time as it is concentrating in school when the weather gets nice outside. When you add the difficulties from allergy symptoms, and the medications that may need to be taken, it can be especially hard for them to do good work in school.
Get started right away, even if there is snow on the ground. Make an appointment with your doctor or allergist. Evaluate the efficacy of the medicines you took last allergy season and with your doctor, plan a strategy for this season. Get your written Allergy Plan together. Many insurance companies (such as Anthem) provide calendars with month to month tips on addressing these problems. Get your insurance provider and your doctor to send you everything they have. A phone call is easy to make. It's especially important that you understand your doctor's strategy for long term control and for quick relief. They may be different medications. Review the filter life of your air purifiers and if need be change them.
If you are planning spring or summer vacations, get on the internet and check out the weather and pollen conditions for the places you are intending to visit at www.weather.com . Integrate these into your Action Plan. Don't let an attack ruin your vacation, simply because you forgot to plan for it and to take the appropriate medications with you.
Be ready by the first day of spring. Get into gear and get your home into shape as an oasis for breathing. There was a good reason people did major spring cleaning in the olden days. During the closed-up winter days, the home becomes heavy laden with dust and dirt, dust mites in all those warm, wooly clothes and bedding, pet danders and allergens, smoke, soot, and ash from fireplaces and woodstoves, mold from closed up spaces, chemicals from all the grooming and cleaning products used, and viruses and germs to boot. Get your home, furnishings, bedding, carpets, upholstery, and clothes cleaned up. Do the same with your office if at all possible.
Most importantly, if you smoke, STOP! If you work around smokers, throw a fit and make them stop doing it around you. Second hand smoke is poison to allergy sufferers, and horrible for babies and children.
Once you've cleaned up your act, keep it clean with room air purifiers in key areas of your house. The bedroom is undoubtedly a key area. Many allergy sufferers experience attacks in the middle of the night, because the human respiratory system relaxes during sleep. Things you can handle during the day, will be more traumatic at night. You'll want to keep a good room air purifier running in your bedroom 24 hours a day with the door closed if at all possible. You want to sleep in the cleanest room possible. It will help you survive the daytime.
Decide where else in the house you or your family spends a majority of time, and select a room air purifier large enough to adequately cover that space. If you do lots of cooking or grilling on an indoor grill, you may want an air purifier for your kitchen that can absorb chemicals.
With the plethora of allergy air purifiers on the market, which one do you choose? It helps to know specifically what you're allergic to. However, if you're not sure, but just know that you can't breathe easily during certain parts of the year, the vast majority of allergy doctors recommend HEPA allergy air purifiers. HEPA filters were developed by NASA years ago for use in the space shuttle. HEPA means High Energy Particulate Arresting. That means it sucks up the pollens and stuff flying around in the air. Many companies sell HEPA air purifiers, some much better in quality than others. The best have 5-10 year warranties on the machines themselves. HEPA filters have to be changed. When you throw one out you'll be amazed at how despicable they are and you'll be very glad you didn't breathe all that stuff.
Other types of allergy air purifiers use ionization or electro-static technology to absorb the particulate. These can be very helpful, but HEPA is still the best way to go to get the vast majority of pollutants and toxins out of your air. Stay away from air purifiers based on ozone generation technology. Consumer Reports says "ozone generators should not be where people are." Grammatically incorrect, but still a good warning. It means they are fine for industry, but not for people.
It is also enormously helpful if air purifiers you choose have enough activated carbon or other media to absorb gases and odors. Volatile organic compounds (VOC's), paint fumes, formaldehyde outgassing, ozone, and other such unpleasantries can be absorbed in addition to the particulates such as pollen.
Purchase enough good quality air purifiers to clean your home and mark your calendar so that you change the filters when they need to be changed. Some air purifiers indicate when a filter needs to be changed and some don't. It really doesn't matter. You can easily mark your calendar with the manufacturer's recommendations, and simply change the filters when it's time.
It's also helpful to get the filters in your air conditioning system changed before allergy season starts. If you don't know where to get the filters, simply get the manufacturer's name off of the system and call them up. They'll either carry the filters themselves or let you know where to purchase them. Many systems have electro-static filters which can help keep the dust down. However, they don't absorb all the pollens and other pollutants so you still need room air purifiers in key areas of your house.
Just because you have allergies, don't banish yourself from the beautiful outdoors entirely. However, remaining indoors between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. are a good idea, because that's when pollen is usually emitted. Stay inside on very windy days too. Wash your hair and clothing when you've spent a lot of time outdoors, and wear a mask to mow the lawn. Or better yet, pay some teenager who is desperate for spending money to do it.
In summary, if you start today and don't procrastinate you can face allergy season without cowering, pick solid allergy air purifiers, be careful as we suggested above and you will minimize your symptoms.

COPD Air Purifiers
COPD Air Purifiers
At ClearFlite Air Purifiers, we often receive calls from people who have Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) themselves or are interested in air purifiers for a family member with it. Although various health organizations have different definitions of COPD, it is generally agreed that it is a progressive lung disease where the airways, the tiny tubes which carry air in and out of the lungs, are partly blocked which makes breathing in and breathing out more and more painful over time.
Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are two of the diseases which fall under the umbrella of COPD and often occur together. It is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States and many people don’t even realize they have it. Many think of the disease only in relation to smokers, but in reality, even people who don’t smoke but are around smokers can have problems with COPD. Others may be at risk for COPD because of an exposure to pollutants in the air, a history of respiratory infections as a child, or even genetic influences such as emphysema in the family. Over 12 million Americans have been diagnosed with COPD in one form or another, but it is believed that twice as many actually suffer from it. Can an air purifier help? Air purifiers can certainly ease breathing by providing super clean air after you have the disease, however, medical treatment will be required for airways and lungs that are already damaged.
Prevention is always the best way to remain healthy, so placing air purifiers in your home, particularly in the bedroom, and in your workplace, if possible, especially if you’re around a smoker or live in a polluted area will help prevent airway and lung damage in the first place. But if you or a loved one already suffer from COPD, air purifiers will undoubtedly make breathing easier because your airways which are already stressed won’t be further stressed by having to filter out new particulate and chemicals.
ClearFlite typically recommends the IQAir and Blueair brands of air purifiers for COPD, because they are able to filter particles as small as .03 microns at 99.9% efficiency and even tinier particles .01 microns and smaller at 99.7% efficiency. AllerAir Air Purifiers also has some models that can handle large amounts of smoke and heavy particulate if you live in a polluted area or with a smoker. The sales representatives at ClearFlite are familiar with the problems of COPD sufferers and can help you to choose the right air purifiers for your particular living and working situations. All air purifiers are not the same. The one a homeowner might choose, who does not have COPD, but simply wants cleaner air, might be very different from the one that would be truly helpful for someone who does have it.
A note about babies and children. In babies, the lungs are the last organ to fully develop. It is very important to provide clean indoor air for babies and children so that their airways which are far tinier than adults will not be damaged early on. COPD robs children of a true childhood where they can run and play never taking a thought for their breath. Never smoke or allow anyone else to smoke around children, and provide quality air purifiers for the child’s bedroom so that the child’s tiny lungs and airways can fully relax and rest.
