Have mold allergies?
You can get really miserable if you don't get rid of mold. To live with cough,
itchy, watery eyes, skin rash and hives, chest tightness, sinus headaches etc.,
one can be tired and have a hard time functioning. Allergy air purifiers are
recommended to alleviate symptoms. Are they effective in killing mold?
There is mold in
every home. What is important is how much? If you do not bring humidity levels
below 50% in the basement, there is mold. Mold grows in warm, dark and damp
places. It is so important to run a dehumidifier for basement. Lower humidity,
stop mold. What is mold? Mold is a microscopic fungi that loves humidity and is
invisible in the air. These are the molds that can cause serious health
problems to your family: Alternaria, Aspergillus Chaetomium, Cladosporium,
Fusarium, Mucor, Penicillium and Stachybotrys. The reactions can be serious
respiratory problems like pneumonia, asthma, and even COPD. Other reactions
include mental confusion, headaches which can be severe, allergy symptoms.
Other serious reactions include: chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, bleeding of the
brain, and even death. Take the presence of mold seriously. The bad part is
that the invisible mold spores travel the second you open the basement door
Allergy air purifiers
use Hepa filtration to clean the air at a 99.97% of biological contaminants
from the air including mold. That is a very effective job of killing mold in
the air. Hepa filtration stands for high efficiency particulate air. To be
effective they must contain a hepa filter.
There are other
features that an allergy air purifier can have such as negative ion generation
which literally produces fresh air like Mother Nature. Negative Ion generators
produce negative ions which attract to the positive ions and they bind to fall
to the ground: fresh air. Nature produces fresh air beneath a waterfall, in a
meadow, at the beach where the waves crash. If you want fresh air, make sure
negative ion generator is component in your purifier.
Ultraviolet Air
purifiers penetrate the cell walls effectively killing the organism. UV-C light
destroys: bacteria, germs, viruses and fungi (mold). UV-C light or Ultraviolet
Air Purifiers have been used for decades in hospitals and have been effective
in disinfecting the air.
Electrostatic Air
Purifiers use the "corona Discharge" creating a magnetic field which
atoms have to pass through. Depending on which side the atoms pass, the atoms
gain either a positive or negative charge. Since opposites attract; they do so
and because they are too heavy, they fall to the floor. There, they can be
simply swept up by a hepa vacuum. An electrostatic air purifier neutralizes
mold, viruses, bacteria, pollen, and cigarette smoke.
It is not just about
killing mold in the air but also other biological contaminants that nobody
wants in their house: germs, viruses, bacteria and fungi (mold). Everyone
should own these allergy air purifiers. The air inside is far more polluted
than outside. Kill mold and freshen the air at the same time.
While you killed the
mold in the air, you still need to kill mold on surfaces. Wipe all surfaces
with Borax. Leave the Borax on the wall. Sweep all that you cleaned with a hepa
vacuum. Run a dehumidifier for basement in the humid months. That even means
winter when it rains and there is no heat source in the basement.
It is recommended to
keep watch of humidity levels by purchasing a hygrometer. They are not
expensive. You will have to use air conditioning or a dehumidifier to lessen
humidity. Allergy air purifiers not only bring fresh air to your home, they
kill mold spores and help to lessen mold allergies and other serious reactions
to chronic exposure of mold. If you add activated carbon filter to the allergy
air purifier, you trap (VOC) volatile organic compounds which are also harmful. Why You Need Allergy Air Purifiers
Live Healthy... Be Happy.
