Stay Healthy this Winter with Healthy Air Flow with Austin Air Systems Purifiers

Benefit 1:

According to the CDC, WHO, and EPA air purifiers using HEPA and Carbon are the safest and most effective solution for minimizing the spread of viruses in indoor spaces. The Medical Grade HEPA technology used in our filters is proven to remove up to 99% of all airborne contaminants as small as 0.1 microns, as well as everyday pollutants such as dust, dander and allergens.

Benefit 2:

The Austin Air Bedroom Machine has an extra level of protection against viruses and pollutants and is the only product on the market with a HEGA carbon cloth. A 2009 third-party study performed by the Health Protection Agency in the U.K. used a surrogate virus (23-28 nm in diameter) and found that this activated carbon cloth not only captured the virus, but also deactivated it.

Benefit 3:

Austin Air uses up to 15 lbs. of activated carbon and 60 sq. ft. of HEPA in our filters. No one else in the industry comes close to using that much. The large amount of both carbon and medical-grade HEPA technology used in Austin Air Systems’ line of air purifiers allows for a longer filter life of up to five years under normal residential use.

Reducing Viral Load for Cleaner, Healthier Air

The primary method of transmission for many viruses is airborne, which means viruses enter into an environment through aerosol droplets which are then inhaled causing infection and illness. Being exposed to a large number of particles is considered a high viral load. A high viral load can overwhelm the immune system and increase your chances of severe illness.

With an Austin Air purifier, though, you could reduce the number of airborne virus particles circulating in the air, which could reduce how much of the virus you are exposed to. This could help lessen your risk of severe infection as lowering the viral load in the environment gives the immune system a better chance of fighting the virus.

However, it is important to mention that the virus can also spread via surfaces and human contact in addition to airborne transmission. Therefore, it is vital that we also regularly wash our hands.
