Good health starts with healthy air. But many of us suffer from airborne allergens and irritants. Allergens have various indoor sources, like pets, plants, fungi spores and house dust mites. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that the air in our homes and offices is two to five times as polluted as outdoor air. Since we spend over 90% of our time indoors, controlling airborne allergens and irritants indoors can make a significant contribution towards reducing our overall exposure.

The first step in any allergy and asthma avoidance strategy is to identify and control the sources of allergens.

Unfortunately, it is not always possible or practical to eliminate allergen and other indoor air pollution sources. That’s where a high-performance air cleaner can make an important contribution. A good air cleaning device can dramatically improve the air quality in your home by constantly filtering out allergens and other irritants from the room air.

But with so many different air cleaners out there, how do you evaluate which air cleaner is best for you? Information about air cleaners is often confusing and misleading.

IQAir believes in giving you detailed and accurate information. We are confident that when you take a closer look at IQAir’s certified performance and guarantees, you’ll know exactly why the HealthPro is the air cleaner for you.

Not All Air Cleaners Are Created Equal...

Not all air cleaners produce the same clean air results. The ability to capture and retain microscopic particles varies widely among ordinary air cleaners, including true HEPA air cleaners. The HealthPro is so efficient in removing these tiny particles that even sophisticated measuring equipment, using laser technology, will find virtually no particles in the HealthPro’s clean air stream.

Actual, Not Just Theoretical Efficiency

Efficiency statements of many air cleaners look impressive at first glance. Air cleaners with HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters often advertise efficiencies of 99.97% for particles of 0.3 microns (that’s about 240 times smaller than the width of a human hair) and larger. However, these claims are based on the theoretical efficiency of the HEPA filter material used and not the actual clean air produced by the air cleaner. System leakage and inferior construction can reduce the actual particle filtration efficiency of HEPA air cleaners to less than 50%.
