Best HEPA Air Purifier For COPD Sufferers
Through the years, our business has seen a significant increase in HEPA air cleaner and HEPA air purifier sales to people suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, otherwise known as COPD.
Unfortunately, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most common lung diseases. It is unfortunate because smoking cigarettes and cigars most often cause it. COPD can also be caused by breathing secondhand smoke or by air pollution, fumes, or toxic gasses and dust in the workplace.
The most common symptom of COPD is difficulty breathing, with shortness of breath that gets worse with just mild activity. Another symptom is chronic bronchitis, which is long-term coughing, wheezing, and fatigue with large amounts of mucus. In time COPD often progresses into frequent respiratory infections, then to Emphysema and destruction of the lungs.
There is no cure for COPD; however, it can be slowed down by stopping all smoking and removing oneself from the unhealthy environment fueling the disease! Since the lung tissue is often inflamed, COPD sufferers often benefit from utilizing high-quality HEPA air purifiers to remove airborne dust, allergens, bacteria, viruses, and mold spores in the main living spaces in both home and workplace indoor environments.
When customers with COPD and Emphysema ask us which air cleaning device will best fit their needs, we give them choices of our high-quality HEPA air purifiers. However, we try to direct them to our (Made In Canada) Airpura UV700 HEPA air purifier.
Its sealed 5 year HEPA filter will remove 99.97 percent of all airborne particulates and allergens down to .03 microns of particle size. The UV700 also contains 18 pounds of activated carbon to absorb and remove reactive outgassing chemicals from newer carpeting, home furnishings and pesticides.
The Airpura UV700 also has the great feature of including a non-ozone producing ultraviolet light system that will quickly destroy airborne viruses, bacteria, or mold spores in the air that often cause significant problems for people with inflamed lung tissue suffering from COPD or Emphysema.
The Airpura UV700 HEPA air purifier has the unique design of aiming its ultraviolet lights into the intake sides of the HEPA air filter, which allows the machine to kill viruses, bacteria, and mold spores BEFORE they can penetrate the air purifiers HEPA filter. Also, the Airpura HEPA air purifier is very powerful to provide a very high air exchange rate per hour in any size room and it is also extremely quiet! The UV700 is one of the only air purifier units on the market that will actually pass a zero laser particle count test!
- It is both our customers and our hope that by removing one's self from a smoking, chemical and allergen-filled environment and by using our Airpura UV700 HEPA air purifiers to keep the indoor air quality (IAQ) clean, they may be able to use fewer medications and steroids to treat their COPD or Emphysema symptoms
