Thinking of getting air purification system for your home? Here three most believed myths that you thought were true.

Myth 1: I have lot of plants and greenery around so do not need an air purifier.

However according to the latest researches and experiments which were made by World Health Organization (WHO) in the majority of cities with population of more than 100000 people the level of air and water pollution is above possible norms and standards. More and more people annually die because of diseases caused by air and water pollution.

They often turn out to be the main reason of such diseases as asthma, lung cancer and many others. That is why breathing such air can result in problems with our health.

Myth 2: All Charcoal Filters Are Equal

Under perfect conditions, natural carbon can absorb some types of hydrocarbons when used in air purification systems. Always choose a one-pound carbon filter in an average home, subjected to the airflow rate of a typical air purifier system. An effective filter must be hydrophobic to avoid this absorption of water and the resulting loss of capacity. This requires special treatment not normally found in consumer air purification systems. In addition, the filter must contain many more reactive ingredients than just charcoal in order to be effective in reducing levels of airborne volatile compounds.

Myth 3: Ionizing is harmful for health

Another myth is that ionizing can do harm to our health which is not true. Ionizing process is completely safe. It is commonly known that all molecules keep particular electric charge. The process of electric charge occurrence is called ionizing. Air ions can be negatively or positively charged. Infact people suffer from lack of air ions. Several experiments and researches have proved that negatively charged ions are able to help people relax and even get rid of stress and tiredness. They can give energy and ability to gain strength.
