Indoor air quality (IAQ) refers to the air quality as it relates to the health and comfort of occupants within and around buildings and structures. Health effects from poor indoor air quality may be experienced soon after exposure or possibly not until years later. Understanding and controlling common pollutants to improve your IAQ can help reduce health problems and ease concerns.

Yes — Intellipure air purifiers can help with allergies. Indoor air pollutants include pet dander, molds, fungi, and more. By eliminating these harmful particles through our DFS technology, you can create an environment where you and your loved ones can breathe easily without being triggered by indoor air pollutants.

On top of aggravating allergies and disturbing sleep patterns, indoor air pollution has also been linked to lung cancer, asthma, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. The EPA recommends eliminating the source of air pollution when possible and running high-quality portable air purifiers that can trap harmful particles. Running air purifiers will make your indoor space a significantly healthier place to be.

According to the EPA, there are three basic strategies to improve indoor air quality:

  • Source Control
  • Improved Ventilation
  • Air Cleaners

According to the EPA, studies have shown that human exposure to air pollutants indicates that indoor levels of pollutants may be two to five times — and occasionally more than 100 times — higher than outdoor levels. These levels of indoor air pollutants are of particular concern because most people spend about 90 percent of their time indoors.

Is air pollution really that bad?

Air pollution is the world’s single largest environmental health risk and it affects everyone. Air pollution has been linked to cardiovascular disease, asthma, other pulmonary diseases, cancer, fertility problems, allergies, stroke, and Alzheimer’s disease.

The average person spends 90% of their time indoors breathing polluted air in the workplace, school, home, and other spaces. Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) can cause many health issues or worsen the symptoms of existing conditions. That is why the EPA recommends protecting yourself from harmful indoor air pollutants when possible. A great way to do that is by adding an Intellipure Air Purifier to your spaces!

Should I own an Intellipure air purifier?

The air we breathe is full of microscopic particles. In recent years, scientists have begun conducting research that indicates that even the smallest “ultrafine” particles are potential health hazards. Due to the high concentration of these particles, they can penetrate deep into the lungs and cause inflammation. They are small enough to enter cells in the body, make their way into the bloodstream, and potentially cause heart and brain diseases.

Children, elderly people, and people with pre-existing lung problems are especially vulnerable to ultrafine particulate pollution. We created our proprietary DFS technology to specifically eradicate these harmful particles at a higher rate than any other air purifier in the world.

You can learn more about ultrafine particles from the CDC. Or, if you’re ready to get started on your journey to clean air, you can reach out to an Intellipure representative.

What are Ultrafine Particles?

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. Concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors, sometimes up to 10 times higher, than outdoor concentrations.

These VOCs are emitted by common household items including paints and lacquers, paint strippers, cleaning supplies, pesticides, building materials, furnishings, office equipment, and more. These items often contain organic chemicals that are released into the air you breathe when used or stored improperly.

Intellipure air purifiers can help you rid your indoor air of harmful VOCs and allow you and your loved ones to breathe cleaner air. Find your unit online today or contact us for assistance.
