Modern technologies sometimes positively surprise us. Today there is a variety of effective air cleaners that help to improve allergies. Their effectiveness is especially high in filtering common allergens which cause year-round or seasonal discomfort. The most common indoor allergens include:
dust mites, pollen, pet dander, and mold.
All of these allergy triggers are present in most homes, causing allergies.
Symptoms of Allergy
# runny or stuffy nose;
# watery eyes;
# coughing; and
# sneezing.
While you may imagine that dust mites, pollen and other particles just settle on the furniture or floor, in actuality, minute particles are also constantly moving through the air. While no unit will provide complete allergy-free living, using a high quality air purifier can drastically reduce the volume of these airborne allergens and improve symptoms.
Many filters use a combination of systems to eliminate airborne particles as well as odors, chemicals and gases. Below are some of the top quality air purifiers Sylvane recommends to improve indoor air quality and relieve allergies.
