How to
Demystify the Process of Selecting
the RIGHT Air Purifier for Your Needs
It's no mystery that the air inside our homes, offices and nearly every
building we enter is contaminated with air pollution problems. But wading through the
plethora of air purification technologies and models to make our living and
working space free of pollution can be a daunting task, especially with the
misinformation presented by so many salespeople.
There are many different air purification technologies and
air filters on the market, but no one air purifier technology can solve
every air pollution problem, which is why we carry different brands. This
section will help to demystify the process of determining which technology
is right for your air pollution problem, and help you select the models that
suit your environment and budget.

Odor Removing Air Purifiers.
Odors comes from many sources, such as
animals, food, bodies, cooking, smelly
sports and camping equipment, shoes, litter boxes, cigarettes, cigars,
pipe smoke, smoke damage, etc. Odor sponges, ozone
and oxidation are three technologies that remove odors the best.
Ozone is an effective technology to treat
odors, however, many people are sensitive to ozone, and many others
don't want an ozone producing technology. If you have a tough industrial
odor problem, then high end ozone generators like the Air Oasis Ozone
Generator are the best choices. The following products, listed
in order of performance, eliminate
odors:
Particulate Removing Air Cleaners.
Particulate includes dust, dust
mites, dust mite feces, pollen, pet dander, skin flakes (food for dust
mites), smoke particles, allergens, etc. When the sun shines through
your window and you see things floating in the air, that's particulate.
Filtration and negative ions are the best technologies to clean the air
of particulate. more info
The following products, listed in order of performance,
eliminate particulate:
Microbial Air Purification. germs, microscopic bacteria, viruses, fungi, mildew, mold spores and mycotoxins produced by a fungus, as small as .001 microns. Microbials often thrive in heating and air conditioning ducts.
The most effective technologies to treat microbial pollution are those
that produce oxidizers that destroy microbials. The following are air
purifiers that remove microbial pollution:
VOC and Chemical Fumes. VOC's (volatile organic compounds), chemicals like benzene and formaldehyde, cigarette smoke, plus
chemical fumes constantly escaping from construction, carpets, upholstery,
furniture, drapes, cleaning materials, dry cleaning, paint and wall
treatments, nail treatment
products and more. Many of these chemicals are known carcinogens.
The following are air purifiers that remove VOCs and chemical
pollution:
Food Spoilage and Odors in
Refrigerators. Once cut, fresh produce,
flowers and plants produce ethylene gas while aging. If allowed
to accumulate, the ethylene further accelerates the aging
process. Continuous or intermittent use of appropriate levels of
ozone in refrigerated spaces has shown to be effective in
reducing the rate of plant and produce aging by destroying
ethylene without producing any negative side effects on the
product, thus reducing spoilage and extending the quality and
shelf life of most produce. A side benefit is that it also gets
rid of odors. The following product is designed for refrigerator
odors and food spoilage:
