How To Choose The Best Air Purifier
This being the truth, it is no wonder the air within buildings is often of poorer quality than the air outside. And this is without even considering the other toxins like carpet off-gassing, cleaning solutions and a whole host of corrupting influences.
Over the last 70 years several methods of controlling the various pollutions within a building have been developed. All remove some impurities, yet none are able to totally scrub the air clean of everything. For this reason manufactures often combine technologies to ensure the greatest amount of air purification. Allergies: The Drama Queens of the Body
Allergies are like movies. If you have ever covered your eyes at something frightening on the big screen you have reacted in a similar fashion as the immune system does when an allergen enters its world. In both cases a reaction is launched because of a threat perceived to be real, yet is not. Which is not to say the immune system shouldn’t react to a bee sting, but killing the person in its response is definitely overkill, pardon the pun. Of all the allergies the most common is dust mites. Most people are not even aware they are allergic to these microscopic insects. For them the symptoms generally only show up upon waking. For a few hours they suffer a runny nose, sneezing or itchiness. A combination of actions can be taken to clean your living space from the majority of these spider-like creatures. The Many Forms of Oxygen (Part 2 of 2)Part 2 of 2 | Read Part 1 of Series The Many Forms of Oxygen The body can live for a week without water, several weeks without food, but only four minutes without oxygen. Our survival revolves around a good and reliable source of oxygen. The earth supplies all the oxygen the body needs to be healthy, but at times this vital element does not make it to the planets surface. During the hot, windless days of summer oxygen molecules can become so heated they separate into singlets of oxygen. At just half their original weight the singlets rise above the heavier pollutants in the air, leaving the surface with less oxygen to breathe. This phenomenon can leave the air up to 50 percent below the normal oxygen level. The Many Forms of Oxygen (Part 1 of 2)
Part 1 of 2 | Read Part 2 of Series The Many Forms of Oxygen Within nature there are three distinct groupings of oxygen created. A single atom of oxygen is called a singlet and is considered a free radical which scavenges its environment to find other free radicals. Through the process of oxidization (the burning without giving off light or heat) singlets can neutralize a large variety of substances. A few of the particles singlets are known to destroy are:

The majority of dust in the air of our home is made up of human skin flakes. These flakes are between .4 to 10 microns in size which is almost identical to the size of particles which can damage our lungs.
