Honeywell Air Filter
Did you know that the air in your house is probably
of poorer quality then the air outside your front door? In fact the
American Lung Association in their 2005 State of the Air report stated
that 52 percent of the population of the United States breathes un-clean
air. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) reports that in many
cases your homes indoor air quality can be up to five times worse then
outside.
If you are wondering why this is true just stop and think for a moment
about how homes and building are constructed today. Energy-efficient
construction techniques have been used for years now. One of the tenets
of this type of construction is sealing a home or building against the
exchange of inside and outside air, except through the ventilation
system. As a result, bacteria, dirt, mold and other allergens are
trapped, contributing to symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, watery
eyes and headaches.
The way to combat this problem is with a Honeywell air filter; either a
whole house system or a portable unit that can be moved from room to
room. This is one of the ways the EPA lists as a good way to clear
indoor air of dust, pet dander, germs, bacteria, mold, mildew, fungi,
tobacco smoke and pollen.
Honeywell has designed and developed air cleaners using the well known
HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters that were designed by the
military to remove over 99% of airborne particles. These filters are
highly efficient and work even better with activated carbon pre-filters
for greater odor control and particulate capture efficiency.
Another option that can be added to a home air filtering system is the
Honeywell UV (Ultraviolet) air treatment system. As air is drawn through
your home ductwork and into the filtering system a high intensity UV
light effectively neutralizes and kills airborne viruses, bacteria, and
germs before they are re-circulated into the air.
Using Honeywell air filters in a whole home system is one of the best
ways to clean the air you breathe and gain relief from allergies and
asthma issues. Designed to the highest standards you know one of their
filtering units will work effortlessly for a long time. |
