Virus & Bacteria
These are airborne illnesses or microorganisms. These germs, viruses and bacteria are naturally carried in by animals and family members from the outside. Once in the house they go airborne and get sucked into the air distribution system and redistributed over and over. Particles in the air act as transportation for these germs. It’s very obvious to people how germs spread in a home when you discuss how illness travels from one person to another. Kids are especially susceptible to spreading of illness because their immune system is not as strong as an adult.
Viruses in particular are too small in size to be trapped by ordinary passive filters, Viruses range in size from .005 microns to .3 microns (.3 microns is the smallest size most pleated filters can capture). In even the most expensive pleated filters, many bacteria and most viruses simply pass through and remain in the indoor air where they can be inhaled.
The Breathe EZ Air Cleaner’s polarize and effectively capture particulate down to the size of the smallest viruses. The Breathe EZ acts like a magnet and attract viruses & bacteria to the filter media, reducing their quantity in the air and the risks associated with them.
