Flu season across Oregon is here and people of all ages are trying to stay healthy. With winter viruses running rampant, there are a lot of ways to minimize exposure. Looking at how to improve your indoor air quality is a great place to start. An air purification system can help reduce the spread of viruses and other bacteria during those colder winter months. Here’s how.
Removing harmful airborne particles.
Top quality air purification systems like the REME Halo In-Duct Air Purifier can bring fresh air and better health directly into your home or business. This whole-home system reduces up to 99% of mold, bacteria, and viruses, reduces sneezing germs by 99% in the time a sneeze can reach three feet, and is easily integrated into your existing HVAC system.
Assisting with better ventilation.
Winter weather around Oregon can be cold, windy, and wet. That means homes and businesses are often sealed to conserve heat. Air purifiers help circulate and clean that indoor air to prevent stagnant air that invites viruses to stay around longer. To further assist, be sure to change or replace your HVAC air filters every one to two months. This ensures air is flowing throughout the system and that harmful particles that are trapped in the filter don’t get recirculated into the air you breathe. Clean filters also ensure the system is running efficiently and can help prolong the life of your system.
Minimizing irritants.
If you or someone in your home deals with allergies, asthma or other chronic respiratory conditions, air purifiers can get rid of the pollutants that irritate the respiratory tract. By minimizing irritation, you can keep your lungs and your overall immune system healthier and more resilient against infections.
Winter weather means lots of time spent indoors. If the area is poorly ventilated, particles can linger longer in the area and make it easier for viruses to take hold. But don’t worry – you can do your part to stay well. So, don’t neglect your indoor air quality! The air you breathe is very important and can help put you and your respiratory system on track to stay strong all season long.
