Common sense would say that the air outside the home is more polluted than the air inside. With the pollution of cars around the world and of the chimneys of the industries, it is normal to believe that the best way to protect yourself is at home, away from this type of threat to health. But the reality is not exactly like that. Inside our houses we are exposed to a greater amount of pollutants than outside. Inside the home we are exposed to various toxic chemical compounds, such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), Bisphenol-A (BPA), per fluorinated compounds (PFCs), fluoropolymers, phthalates and even some heavy metals. All these compounds can be found in a variety of products of our daily life.

Not to mention mold, bacteria, viruses, animal hair, insect remains and all kinds of dirt you can imagine. You can find all these outside your home as well, the big difference is in the fact that, outside, dirt can be dispersed thanks to the wind, unlike what happens in closed environments. The vast majority of the air that you and your family breathe every day is not clean. Preventing allergic reactions such as the common sneezes and tears in the eyes, and especially the most serious situations of chronic diseases such as asthma or migraines is not a luxury, it is a necessity.

It is important to ensure the quality of the indoor air to which we are constantly subjected. Air purifiers are essential devices to have at home. These devices have the ability to eliminate possible pollutants in the air from a certain area of ​​your home or workplace. Removing pollutants from the air helps people who suffer from problems related to asthma or allergies by making them breathe easier. However, many purifiers that are sold in stores or on the internet, only take care of certain problems, ignoring others or in the worst case their effectiveness has not even been proven.

When choosing an air purifier make sure it uses some kind of proven technology. One of the most popular is the HEPA filter, which stands for ‘High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter’. It can be made of any type of material. Impurities are trapped in the filter itself, usually made of foam, cotton, fiberglass, and other synthetic fibers. Ultraviolet radiation (UV) is another type of very effective technology when it comes to purifying or sanitizing. Studies show that UV rays have the ability to destroy airborne bacteria, germs, and viruses.
