Honeywell Air Purifier
A Honeywell air purifier will virtually eliminate all common causes of indoor
air problems. Some of the problems include inadequate ventilation, due to not
allowing outdoor air to dilute indoor air emissions and the lack of indoor air
leaving the home. Also, high temperature and high humidity levels can heighten
the concentrations of some indoor air pollutants.*
Common indoor air pollutant sources include oil, gas, kerosene, coal, wood
and tobacco products. Pollutant sources can also be found in asbestos-containing
insulation, some products used for household cleaning and outdoor sources such
as pesticides and outdoor air pollution.* Additionally, household cleaning
agents and personal care products may trigger allergic reactions.
Studies also show that 75 percent of U.S. homes use at least one pesticide a
year indoors to control insects, termites, rodents, and fungus and other
microbes. Also, 80 to 90 percent of most people's exposure to pesticides occurs
indoors.**
Exposure to dust mites, cat saliva, animal dander and mold is estimated to
cause at least 200,000 emergency room visits by asthma patients each year.**
A honeywell air purifier with a HEPA filter will take care of many of these
problems as well.
According to the American College of Allergists, 50 percent of all illnesses
are either caused by, or aggravated by, polluted indoor air.**
Individuals who are most susceptible to indoor air pollution are the ones who
are home the most: children, pregnant women, the elderly and those with chronic
illnesses.† The health care costs and productivity decreases from allergies
and asthma are about $13 billion per year.** To reduce those costs for your
home, you should install a honeywell air purifier.
According to Mothers of Asthmatics, an estimated 40 to 50 million Americans -
about one in five - suffer from allergies including allergic asthma. Also
according to Mothers of Asthmatics, allergies are responsible for 3.4 million
lost U.S. workdays each year, plus an estimated 2 million lost school days.‡
