Here are the 6 most critical features of an air purification solution you should consider to help you &#8211; and the people in your spaces &#8211; breathe easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top 6 qualities you want in an air purifier:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the EPA, the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/report-environment\/indoor-air-quality\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> average person spends 90% of their time indoors<\/a>, which makes clean air crucial to the safety, health, and wellness of your employees, customers, and visitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To provide the reassurance that people need to feel safe indoors, air must be continually treated to remove <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/report-environment\/indoor-air-quality#pollutants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pollutants, pathogens and other contaminants.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Portable, free-standing air purifiers provide a flexible, cost effective way to help protect the health of people in your spaces. Here are 6 key features that deserve your attention when selecting a purifier that\u2019s right for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Medical-grade filtration and sanitation technology<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider devices that offer real-time protection from airborne pathogens and contaminants, such as those that use high-efficiency particulate air filters (HEPA) or UV-C technology to deactivate pathogens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sanitation technology should deactivate or remove:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Dust<\/li><li>Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)<\/li><li>Allergens<\/li><li>Bacteria, viruses, and other germs<\/li><li>Fungi and mould<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Expertly serviced solutions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Air purifiers serviced by trained experts &#8211; including proper filter cleaning, replacement, and disposal &#8211; will ensure that harmful pathogens aren\u2019t spread through your environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Poor filter maintenance can cause:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Skin and throat irritation<\/li><li>Dry eyes and fatigue<\/li><li>Headaches and even Legionnaires\u2019 disease<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. High-performance clean air delivery rate (CADR)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The CADR is a performance metric measuring how fast a machine cleans the air of a particular size of room. The efficiency of a unit will depend on both the size of the room and the placement of the unit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Indoor air quality (IAQ) displays<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>IAQ monitors with clear, real time displays show staff and customers that the business considers their safety and wellbeing a priority,  by continuously monitoring the indoor air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Cost effectiveness:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A serviced air purifier rental contract can cost as little as a cappuccino per day.  Renting an air filtration system makes financial sense, and offers added benefits at a fraction of the cost of purchasing. Get peace of mind with ongoing maintenance, cleaning, filter replacement, and disinfection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Sound and decibels<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid noise disruptions, it\u2019s important to identify air purification units that produce fewer than 49 decibels. To give you a benchmark for comparison, a household refrigerator registers at 55 decibels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Advanced air purification solutions like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ambius.co.za\/viruskiller-air-purifiers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VIRUSKILLER&#x2122; from Ambius<\/a> offer real-time protection from airborne pathogens.
