Different Types Of HEPA Air Purifiers That Remove Airborne Allergens, Smoke, Chemical Outgassing, Mold Spores And Odors
Different Types Of HEPA Air Purifiers Explained In Detail
The number one reason people purchase air purifiers is for dust, allergy, and asthma control! Smokers and people that live with smokers buy air purifiers to reduce and control smoke and smoke odors!
HEPA Air Purifiers With Activated Carbon For Odor Control
People need to purchase quality HEPA air purifiers to remove airborne outgassing chemicals and odors from the air. The absolute best way to remove outgassing chemicals and significantly reduce their accompanying odors is by absorption by utilizing multiple pounds of activated carbon in quality HEPA air purifiers.
Suppose airborne mold spores, bacteria, or viruses are a problem due to poorly insulated homes or pipe or roof leaks. In that case, HEPA air purifiers with a high power non ozone producing UV ultraviolet light system are essential to have and run 24-7.
Suppose mold infestations are discovered in the walls, around windows, or under the floors. In that case, the mold must first be cleaned out and then treated with a proper biocide to destroy any leftover mold spores and keep the indoor air environment safe and healthy.
Many people purchase HEPA air purifiers with UV light systems to help keep the home clean and to destroy any leftover residual airborne mold spores to help prevent recontamination of the house.
Activated carbon helps to remove and control organic airborne odors from direct and secondhand cigarette smoke, cigar smoke, and Marijuana smoke.
Activated carbon is also suitable for absorbing to reduce odors from pets, people's bodies, chemicals, and from cooking smelly foods like fish, seafood, and meats.
Important Note: Please know that multiple pounds of activated carbon in HEPA air purifiers have been used for many years for odor control, and they work well. However, activated carbon can't permanently remove 100 percent of the offending odors for these simple reasons.
Smoke odors also often come from smokers in other rooms in a home or from another close by apartments or condos in a building. These odors find their way through hallways, air vents, open doors and windows, water pipe gaps, and from cracks in electric outlets.
Airborne secondhand smoke odors coming into houses, apartments, and condos can and will be significantly reduced with a quality HEPA air purifier with multiple pounds of activated carbon to the point of making a big difference because the air that is being cleaned by the air purifier will flood the room where the air purifier is operating in to make a big difference in reducing the odors!
However, these HEPA air purifier units cannot remove odors from carpeting, furniture, and wall surfaces that have absorbed odors into the materials that have gripped the aromas into them.
This is because dirty smoke-contaminated carpeting, furniture, and other materials and surfaces will often continue to release odors until they are professionally cleaned or, if needed, replaced!
Smoke-odor-contaminated walls need to be properly washed and cleaned, sealed with a wall sealer product, and then repainted with a safe low VOC or, better yet, zero VOC paint. This will make a huge difference in removing the smoke odors that have penetrated a home's walls.
However, as I already explained, secondhand smoke coming in from other apartments or condos will continue to go into homes. The best and healthiest way to control these odors is with quality HEPA air purifiers that include multiple pounds of activated carbon to absorb the incoming odors with a noticeable degree of success!
HEPA air purifiers with activated carbon are purchased and used more often than any other air purifier to reduce the many different sources of odors.
Again a quality HEPA air purifier with multiple pounds of activated carbon can and will significantly reduce smoke odors and other types of smells.
This method is, without question, the healthiest form of air purification.
However, they cannot permanently remove 100 percent of the odors by themselves because of the reasons already explained above. It is also essential to vacuum often with a 100 percent sealed HEPA vacuum cleaner and take the measures required to keep the home clean.
People are pleased with the results from HEPA air purifiers with multiple of pounds of activated carbon for indoor odor control and because they also remove airborne allergens that include dust, dust mite allergen, pet dander, chemical outgassing, and other airborne allergens in the indoor air to keep home and office spaces clean while helping control reactions that trigger allergies, asthma, and COPD attacks!
This Is Important: People should also understand and accept that it is often a need that other odor reduction and removal steps such as cleaning must also be taken in conjunction with purchasing a quality HEPA air purifier(s) for the best lasting all-around odor control!
Ozone Blasters For Odor Control
Ozone Blasters are powerful ozone machines that effectively destroy and drastically reduce intense smoke and chemical and organic odors from homes, restaurants, and other places.
Ozone blasters are often used after a fire, flood, or mold remediation job at the end of reconstruction to destroy any leftover smoke odors or mold spores. They have the ability to penetrate into carpeting, furniture and other materials to help remove odors but this can only be done in UNOCCUPIED SPACES!
They also remove smoke odors in cars, trucks, and trailers. These machines are so strong that the home or building area must be unoccupied during the treatment, which can take 2-3 days of 24-7 operation. Cars and trucks should be treated for 3-8 hours.
Ozone blasters cannot be used in occupied spaces with prolonged exposure to ozone blasters high amounts of ozone in an enclosed room. This is because ozone basters can cause major irritations of the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs, including lung damage!
Most quality ozone blasters include timers that can be set to stop at a predetermined period. However, it is safe to quickly enter a room being treated for a short period of a few minutes or so just to shut the ozone blaster off when the treatment is over.
NOTE: the customer must be aware that if the source of the smoke odor, organic order, or mold infestation is not repaired and or stopped the smoke odor or mold problem will return after treatment is done with an ozone blaster!
Chemical Odor Coverups! Not Good!
Many people think they can eliminate smoke and other odors with chemical coverups. This is a temporary and not a good solution because many people are allergic to the coverup chemicals and react to them. These odor-coverup chemicals (Including many essential oils) make many people sick, and it often takes a long time to figure it out!
When operating my air duct cleaning business, I once met a woman and her mother, who were smokers and living together in a condo in Florida. They were using toxic MOTHBALLS to cover up the smoke odor in their condo. Bags of mothballs were everywhere, even attached to the curtains!
The mother was bedridden and dying of brain cancer. I must have pulled 20 pounds of mothballs out of this condo while explaining that she needed to clean, seal and paint her yellow smoke-stained walls and then professionally have her carpeting and furniture cleaned to help get the odor under control.
I could not do an ozone blaster treatment in this condo because the sick mother could not be moved. Still, I did sell her a couple of HEPA air purifiers with special tar-catching filters that included multiple pounds of activated carbon to keep the smoke and odor under control after they did the cleanup.
I may have saved the daughter's life by helping them clean up their toxic indoor air environment before she also developed cancer.
The bottom line is that it's far better to clean and drastically reduce the indoor environment of the smoke and organic odors by adding quality air purifiers to keep the odors under control rather than using chemical coverups in a contaminated home or office space!
This goes for cars, trucks, and camper trailers as well! Pull out those chemical-scented plug-ins at your home and those scented Christmas trees in your car or truck, and keep your vehicles lean!
