Air cleaners are effective only when air is circulated through them. So, it is unrealistic to expect complete removal of all contaminants. However, the efficiency of the APRILAIRE Air Cleaner actually increases with use, and removes a very high percentage of the pollutants from the circulated air. There is pollution in air everywhere - even in the air we normally consider fresh outdoor air. The infiltration of outside air into the home is minimized by keeping doors and windows closed as much as possible, therefore, increasing the indoor air quality.
Many people purchase this air cleaner for allergy relief. Allergy cases differ widely - and the APRILAIRE Air Cleaner is not a sure cure for any allergy. However, if you suffer from allergies caused by pollen, mold, spores, dust and other airborne allergens, this efficient air cleaner can be highly beneficial because it removes up to 99% of these pollutants from the air passing through it.
The reduction of household dust, tobacco smoke particulate and smudging particles may have been the motivating influence in your decision to have an air cleaner installed. The APRILAIRE Air Cleaner removal efficiency of these very fine particles and pollutants reaches up to 95%. It follows, then, that since there are less of these particles in the air, you may expect a reduction in the necessity for dusting and cleaning and a longer time interval between redecorating.
Particle sizes of pollutants vary and are measured in microns. A micron is 1/25,400th of an inch. A commonly used illustration of their size is that it would take 200 microns to reach across a dot made by a sharp pencil. The accompanying chart shows the range of sizes, in microns, of the most common pollutants.
