How Does an Air Scrubber Work?
Indoor air pollution has been ranked as one if the top five environmental dangers facing our society. With this in mind, there has been a major shift towards the improvement of air quality within the home. Air scrubbers contribute greatly to improving in-home air quality. An air scrubber works in a few different ways to not only clean the air in your home, but also proactively improve air quality of the surrounding area.
Here’s how an air scrubber works to make your home healthier:
- Cleaning the Air – Air scrubbers actively clean the air of contaminants by utilizing UV germicidal light. While air filters trap pollutants and volatile organic compounds, they are simply held in the filter. Air scrubbers kill off these harmful elements with UV light, providing clean and clear air.
- Freshening Your Air – An air scrubbing device actually creates microscopic ‘cleaners’ it sends out in the air. These are powerful oxidizers that get put into the environment and eliminate pathogens on surfaces and in the air.
- Creating Antimicrobials – When the air in your HVAC system passes through an air scrubber, charged clusters of hydrogen and oxygen are created. These are then pushed out into your home. These particles are natural antimicrobials that mitigate pathogens, odors, and volatile organic compounds.
- Mold Elimination – The supercharged ions, or ‘air scrubbers’, created by these devices are excellent for getting rid of mold, fungi, and odor-causing bacteria.
