Do allergies have you feeling down in the dumps? If so, you're not alone. Allergies are a common problem, and they can be incredibly uncomfortable. But don't worry, there is hope! Air filters can help alleviate allergy symptoms and improve air quality in your home. HEPA filters are a type of mechanical air filter that work by forcing air through a fine mesh that traps harmful particles such as pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and tobacco smoke.
An acronym that often appears in filters is the MERV rating, which means the minimum value of efficiency reports. Ratings range from MERV 1 to MERV 20, and the higher number indicates filters that are capable of removing the smallest particles, including many pollen species. We also love the versatility of custom filters, which include options such as germ defense, pet allergy, odor eliminator, or toxin absorber. These filters will improve air quality and hopefully help alleviate some allergy symptoms.
But without the right air filters for allergies, you'll keep smelling and sneezing all season long. If you're worried that spring is increasing airborne irritants in your home, choose an air purifier with an app or features that help you monitor trends in air quality, detect types of toxins, and send you alerts when it's time to change your filter. An air quality indicator will monitor the air in your room in real time, so you always know that its quality is within safe levels. The best air purifiers use a six-layer purification and deodorization system, including a pre-filter, a BioGS HEPA filter, an activated carbon filter, and a customizable filter that can be adapted to your home's air quality needs.
This allergy air purifier also uses UVC light to destroy viruses, VOCs, allergens, bacteria and mold, destroying as many pollutants as the largest air purifiers on the market. Because HEPA filters are made of densely packed layers of glass fibers instead of paper, the best ones are able to trap more than 99 percent of pollen, dust and smoke particles and keep them out of the air you breathe every day. While a normal HEPA filter can suffer from the buildup of allergens it's supposed to remove, this unique BioGS HEPA filter reduces common contaminants trapped in the filter so you won't have to change it as often. Although filters can't completely eliminate common allergy triggers such as dust, dirt, pollen and pet dander, they can help improve the overall air quality in your home and reduce some of the most unpleasant allergy symptoms. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a portable air purifier is one of the most effective ways to improve indoor air quality in an individual room or area. So if allergies have been getting you down lately, don't despair! Investing in an air purifier with a HEPA filter or custom filter may help reduce some of your symptoms and make breathing easier.
