It's what you can't see that affects you the most.

There is nothing like a breath of fresh air. Scientists have found that indoor air is 3-5 times more polluted than outside air. Indoor Air Pollution? It's a big problem. Dust, molds, pollen, pet dander can cause the allergies and asthma that effect so many of us.
Chemicals including formaldehyde and ammonia are found in household items and cleaning products can cause allergic like response - MCS (multiple chemical sensitivities.) Your immune system needs a break!
Now, you can breath easier and get a good night's sleep. Austin Air and Blue Air air cleaners provide safe, affective, and affordable solutions that remove 99.97% of all particles from the air and over 3000 chemicals and gases.

HEPA

(High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters remove sub-micron particles from the air. By definition, a HEPA filter must meet the US government standard of removing 99.97% of all particles greater than 0.3 microns in diameter (20 times smaller than the thickness of a hair). The particles HEPA filters mechanically trap include dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, pollen, bacteria, virus which can cause allergic rhinitis and other illness. These are the same filters used in hospitals and labs to help create clean room standards.

Carbon

Carbon filters adsorb chemicals, odors and smoke from the air. Household cleaning products, carpeting, construction adhesives and solvents are just some of the chemicals which become volatile (Volatile Organic Chemicals or VOC's) and affect our indoor air. Our purifiers use enriched activated carbon which have an unusual capacity in adsorption or chemicals and odors.

Allergies, Asthma and Sinusitis

Our HEPA filters remove airborne allergens including dust, pollen, pet dander and molds. A premium quality HEPA air cleaner can provide a welcome break for your immune system.

Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS)

While there are individuals who are diagnosed with chemical sensitivities, exposure to airborne chemicals (VOC's) can affect everyone. We are all sensitive to chemicals, we we just have different thresholds for when they make us sick. For those of us who live in or near an urban community or industrial setting, outdoor pollution is an obvious problem which can extend into our homes. Less obvious are the indoor chemicals that are used in building furniture, cleaning fluids and solvents. The EPA states that indoor air is 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air. To help fight these problems, you need a top quality air purifier with an abundant amount of enriched activated carbon.

Bacteria and Virus

Ever notice how colds and flues spread through a household? . Cleansing of hands and dishes is an important step to prevention, but not always enough. Germs become airborne when we sneeze, cough, even breathe. A premium quality HEPA air cleaner traps bacteria and virus.

Second Hand Smoke

Second hand smoke is a combination of the smoke that enters a room directly from a cigarette, cigar or pipe and the smoke exhaled by the smoker. The National Cancer Institute has identified over 4,000 substances in second hand smoke. Over 250 are known to be harmful and over 50 are known to cause cancer. Second hand smoke can cause heart disease, lung disease, asthma, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and ear infections. To help fight these problems, you need a top quality air purifier with an abundant amount of enriched activated carbon.

CADR and CFM

A premium quality air cleaner must move a substantial amount of air through it's filters to be effective. Not all HEPA purifiers move enough air to be useful. CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) is a standard of measurement set by the AHAM (Association of Home Appliance Manufactures) CADR indicates volume of filtered air delivered by an air cleaner. Higher the CADR rates mean more clean air is being delivered. CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) is an industrial standard used to measure the volume of air being moved. Higher CFM rates mean the appliance is moving more air through the unit each minute.

Ozone, Ionizers

Ionizers use electrostatic plates to charge particles (give them an extra electon) These ions attract particles which typically stick to the walls or fall to the floor. Ionizers don't trap particles and are not filters. Ionizers produce ozone, or O3. Ozone is a known lung irritant and has been shown to increase allergies and asthma. The American Lung Association (ALA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) warn against residential use of ionizers to clean the air.
