WHAT IS THE AIR QUALITY INDEX (AQI) IN MY CITY???
India has been in the hot box for the last few years, for having one of the worst air quality levels as per the data released by World Health Organization (WHO). WHO has set the parameters of measuring Air Quality Levels by measurement of the suspended particle matter of size PM10 and PM2.5, measured in the units of μg/m3.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY PM10 AND PM2.5 ??
PM10 refers to particle having size as 10 micron or 10 x 10-6 , PM2.5 refers to particle with size of 2.5 micron or 2.5 x 10-6. PM2.5 is generally called a fine particle. By way of comparison, a human hair is about 100 microns, so roughly 40 fine particles could be placed on its width.
PM10 is a harmful particle and it causes a lot of respiratory issues such as allergy, bronchitis, asthma and many other issues. PM2.5 on the other hand is something that our respiratory tract cannot even filter and enters our lungs and our bloodstream and can attack the heart, causing severe issues of Lung Cancer, TB, Heart Attacks and other severe health problems.
RISK LEVEL PM 10 Reading in μg/m3 PM2.5 Reading in μg/m3
Relatively No Risk 0-75 0-50
Moderate Risk 75-150 50-100
High Risk 150-250 100-150
Severe Risk (Critical) 250+ 150+
WHICH OF THE TWO IS THE MORE SIGNIFICANT VALUE WHEN CONSIDERING AQI LEVELS OF OUR CITIES ?
Although PM10 and Pm2.5 both happen to be of significance importance but PM2.5 is more critical size and new studies present clear evidence that PM2.5 is more harmful than PM10. Physically also this makes sense - smaller than particle, more probability that it will go deeper into the lungs and harm us. This is also one of the important reasons for WHO to push for all countries to have standards for PM2.5.
DOES JK TECHNOLOGIES JK AIR PURIFIER HAVE A TESTING DEVICE FOR PM10 OR PM2.5 ??
Yes, we have recently launched a Digital laser meter for testing PM2.5 levels in your home / office / hotel / medical facility etc. It’s a small and handy rechargeable battery (Li-Ion) powered device, which uses sophisticated Laser Sensors and a set of complex algorithms to measure the real time PM2.5 levels in your vicinity. At JK we want you to be up to date with your technology and help you be more aware about the air that you are breathing. We already had the best air purifiers in the market for over 12 years and with this new product we can help you take stock of the air you are breathing.
DID YOU KNOW
- 13 Indian cities (including Delhi, Patna, Gwalior, Raipur) are in “Top 20 cities in the world with the highest levels of PM 2.5”!
- Indoor air is 4 to 5 times more polluted than air outside. Average indoor air pollution in India is 375 grams/cubic meter of air while WHO norms do not recommend more than 20 grams/cubic meter.
- Common sources of indoor air pollution are cooking fuel, tobacco combustion, construction material, furnishings and carpets, painted surfaces, AC, pets & humans.
- Fine Particulate Matter (PM 2.5) is a type of air pollutant which is so tiny that it can directly enter lungs and adversely affect your health.
- Indoor air pollution is a leading risk factor for diseases, like ischemia, myocardial infarction, asthma, stroke, lung cancer etc.
UNREVEALED TRUTHS ABOUT INDOOR AIR POLLUTIONAn average Indian spends 2-3 hours outdoor and remaining 20-21 hours inside, either in their cozy homes/ comfortable offices within air conditioned space. We are afraid of 2 to 3 hours of exposure to outdoor pollution, but blissfully ignorant about the devastating effects of Indoor Air Pollution (IAP).Statistics suggest that in developing countries, health impacts of indoor air pollution far outweigh those of outdoor air pollution. Indoor Air pollution is the second biggest killer in India after high blood pressure.Indoor air is 10 times more polluted than outdoor air 1.3 million people in India die every year because of indoor air pollution About 27.5 % of under-five mortality is because of indoor air pollution Close to 4.3 million premature deaths annually is attributed to IAP Allergies, asthma, lung & heart problems have all been linked to indoor air.

HOTEL INDUSTRY APPLICATION
Did you know why Tripadvisor.com and other hotel/motel review sites have lots of one-star reviews?
And, did you know that most of these one-star reviews are posted by the travelers who are dissatisfied with the hotel’s indoor air quality?
Often, this issue is ignored and insufficiently handled. Hotel and motel air quality has more in common with industrial air than residential. Hotel management must evaluate a room’s suitability not only by appearances but also by odors or smells in the hotel rooms. While a poorly maintained room is a sure sign of trouble, even spotless upscale hotel rooms can have poor air quality. Nearly one quarter of guests might complain of poor air quality, but seldom get relief. Guests eat, drink, smoke, and party in the hotel rooms; they might also keep their pets in hotel and motel rooms.
Therefore, after each occupancy, everything in the rooms must be cleaned. But washing linens and vacuuming carpets does not remove airborne particulate or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), many of which may be introduced by the hotel's own housekeeping practices. Tobacco toxins persist in rental accommodations, long after the smoker, perhaps a stealth user, checks out.
state-of-the-art active air filtration technology ensures that more than 99% of potentially dangerous particles are removed from your hotel’s building, creating a much healthier and safer environment for the guests and hotel staff. Crusader air purifiers have been found to be very effective in odour control, VOC removal, eliminating air borne solvents and other chemicals, dust abatement and reducing mould growth.

ADVANCED AIR PURIFICATION TECHNOLOGY SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR INDIA
Every human being is unique and different in their own ways. Keeping this fact in mind the company has developed a comprehensive range of products with customized technology to meet the needs and requirements of each and every individual. We used best-in-class 7 Stage Filtration technology. The air filters used are highly efficient and controls over 99.97% of air borne pollutants like dust mites, bacteria & viruses, germs, pollen and many more. Each filter has a specified role to play and ensures that the air you breathe is pure and fresh!!
STAGE 1 – PRE FILTER :
It’s a fine mesh, washable filter that filters out larger dust particles, small insects found in the air, pet dander's and human hairs.
STAGE 2 – ELECTROSTATIC PLASMA FILTER:
This filter works by producing an electric charge which is passed through the wires fitted into this filter. It generates electro-magnetic flux on the metal plate and helps attract pollutants like dust mites, light dust particles, pollen grains, allergens etc. to stick onto the washable metal plate.
STAGE 3 – ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER (Live Charcoal):
This filter is made up of light charcoal granules. Here the property of charcoal known as ADSORBTION is used to absorb and neutralize problems like smoke, Oduor, formaldehyde, ammonia and VOC.
STAGE 4 – HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter):
STAGE 5 – TiO2 Filter or also known as Photo-Catalyst Filter:
These highly reactive electrons aggressively combine with other elements in the air and sterilizes bacteria and viruses caught by HEPA, VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), harmful pollutants such as formaldehyde, ammonia and many other common contaminates released by building materials and household cleaners generally found in the home.
Once bound together, the chemical reaction takes place between the super-charged ion and the pollutant, effectively "oxidizing" (or burning) the pollutant. This breaks the pollutant down into harmless carbon dioxide and water molecules, making the air more purified.
STAGE.6–ULTRA VIOLETSTERILIZATION (UV) :
Built in UV with 254nm wavelength, helps in activating the Photo-Catalyst Filter & also effectively sterilizes all kinds of bacteria, viruses and other flu with efficiency of >98.7%
STAGE 7 – NEGATIVE IONS:
Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that we inhale in abundance in certain environments like mountains, waterfalls, and beaches.
Negative ions help freshen and purify the air by causing allergens such as pollen, mold spores, dust, and animal dander floating in the air (which have either a neutral or a positive charge) to be attracted to and stick to each other, forming 'clumps'. These clumps of particles then become heavy enough so that AIR PURIFIER can pull them inside, where they can be filtered, rather than staying in suspension where they can be breathed in and cause allergic reactions.

Air Cleaners: How do Air Purifiers Work?
An air purifier is a product that cleans and rids the air of contaminants. Some claim removal of up to 99.9% of particles in the air of a home or business. They are commonly marketed for being beneficial to sufferers of asthma and allergies. Being able to reduce and even eliminate second-hand smoke is another attractive feature for many users. Commercial grade purifiers are made as either small units that stand alone or larger units that are able to be attached to an AHU (air handler unit) or an HVAC unit that can be found in industrial, medical and commercial industries. Home air purifiers can be used for an entire home or an individual room. Air purifiers are made in many different sizes and types with the most common being the HEPA filter. Most users of air purifiers purchase them to improve the air quality within their home or business.
Types of air purifiers
- HEPA Filters. The HEPA filter uses a cloth filter that is able to trap 99.9% of particles that are .3 microns or larger and a fan to circulate air throughout the machine. HEPA filters are effective in retrieving nearly any harmful particle that is found in the air. The replaceable filter can last many years depending on the air quality of the room the filter is in. A HEPA filter is a very effective unit but is one that uses a lot of energy
- Ozone purifiers. Ozone is a reactive oxidant that can destroy some chemicals and bacteria. When it reacts with some substances in the air, those substances are broken down into materials that are pollutants. An Ozone purifier fights those pollutants. It is also very effective in fighting odors but does not work against allergens or most chemicals.
- Carbon air purifiers. This type of air purifier is very effective in capturing particular particles, including gas, smoke, and odor. It is also the most absorbent filter sold on the market. A carbon air filter contains small pores that are very absorbent and chemically react to particles as they pass through and the odors and particles attach to the carbon. This particular air purifier does not work against allergens or micro-organisms.
- Ionic air purifiers. This type of purifier works by ‘ionizing’ air, causing particles to gain either a positive or negative charge. The ionic air purifier has a collection of plates that contain an opposite charge from the air particles; therefore, the particles are attracted to the plates. The charged particles will attract other particles with the opposite charge to them. An ionic air purifier is able to remove very fine particles in the air, even from several feet away, but it does not work on odors or kill germs.
- Ultraviolet light air purifiers. The Ultraviolet light air purifier sterilizes micro-organisms as they pass through, including viruses, germs, bacteria and mold. After they are treated with the ultraviolet light, the micro-organisms are no longer able to reproduce and grow. Ultraviolet light air purifiers do not work against smoke, odors, allergens or chemicals.
Choosing the right type of air purifier can be challenging, but by understanding their main differences, an educated choice can be made based on someone’s specific needs.
The following are features to consider when purchasing the proper unit:
- Performance. Look for a unit that removes a high amount of particles from the air, including smaller-sized pieces.
- Air volume capacity. Choose a unit that is recommend for your size room. This is usually expressed as square feet.
- Particular health concerns. Consider what substances you want to be removed from the air: smoke, germs, bacteria, etc.
- Manufacturer. Choose a purifier that has a reputable manufacturer. The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers is a great source.
- Indoor factors. If there is a particular pollutant affecting your health, look for a unit that works best at eliminating it.
- Cost of operating. Replacement filters do cost so make sure to look at the replacement interval and the cost of filters.
- Quality of construction. Make sure the warranty covers the internal parts of the unit.
- Ease of use. Make sure the unit is easy to operate, clean and change the filter
- Noise while operating. Is the unit considered ‘whisper quiet’? You can request its operating noise values before you make a purchase. Quieter units are around 35 decibels.

HIGH PURIFYING CAPACITY, PURIFIES AIR IN THE ROOM INSTANTLY
Air pollution knows NO boundaries
If you are reading this article, it can only mean one thing: you are keen on knowing more about the culprits of air-pollution or you’ve stumbled across a review on an air purifier. I really appreciate your self-awareness and cheerful readiness to investigate about air-pollution.
In this article, I would call your attention to the fact that there is more pollution while driving a car than walking on the street.
While reading a news article on the quality of air inside cars, I could not actually believe what I was reading. What kept circling my mind was, “How could the car-indoor air quality be worse than the air around the cyclists and pedestrians? The interior of my car always seemed like a safe haven; how could the reality be entirely opposite?”
Just like many of you, the term “indoor air quality” wasn’t on my radar; I was always concerned about outdoor air pollution. However, after watching NBC News Video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ST3Ss7onBs), I understood what factors ruin the indoor air quality in cars. The video carried the confirmation of the facts that I was reading about “in-car air pollution.”
Passengers in cars and taxis are being exposed to air pollution up to 15 times greater than cyclists and pedestrians on busy city streets. Travelling inside a vehicle could be much worse than cycling by the kerb or walking on the pavement because emissions are highest in the centre of the carriageway, where vehicles suck in dirty air from those in front, scientists say. Air pollutants, such as black carbon, nitrogen dioxide and the toxic leftovers of inefficiently burnt fuel, were highest in the middle of a carriageway and in the first two to three feet above the road, dropping off nearer to the kerb and pavement.
When you are in a vehicle, you are right in the middle of the source of the pollution. Vehicles close together suck in each other’s emissions. The air intakes are in the engine compartment close to road level, so they pick up the fumes emitted by the vehicle in front of them. Open windows are another route.
So now you understand how dirty air becomes trapped in cars and taxis, whereas cyclists and pedestrians have a constant ‘flow of air’ breezing in from all directions around them.
I know it is not easy to eliminate outdoor air pollution, but indoor air pollution is one risk that you can definitely do something about. Moreover, it is an easy-to-understand topic. I browsed internet and compared various car air-purifiers. Personally, I found JK car air-purifier CF-88 to be an ideal Health-Mate inside my car. It not just knockouts smoke, dust and stuffiness from the car but also combats the dangers posed by exposure to VOCs, PBDEs and phthalates (the mysterious, ubiquitous, and hard-to-spell chemical compounds present in your car).
Why do you need a Car Air Purifier?
- Due to growing urbanization, vehicular pollution in India has grown at an alarming rate. The air pollution from vehicles in urban areas, particularly in big cities, has become a serious problem
- The main pollutants emitted from automobiles are hydrocarbons, lead/benzene, carbon monoxide, Sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter.
- Due to the closed environment, air inside the car’s cabin is 5 to 6 times more polluted than the outside air.
- People spend as much as 3 to 4 hours travelling during the peak traffic hours. The pollution in the outdoor air is at its worst at these peak traffic hours and the passengers have direct and sustained exposure to harmful air pollutants, which jeopardizes their health!
- The Carpets & Upholstery in the car are seldom cleaned. Thus the accumulated dust particles eventually pollute the indoor air and enter the human respiratory system.
- The Car AC is not equipped to remove harmful pollutants and Particulate Matter Pollution derived from Outside & Ambient air.
- Car Air Purifier cleanses and freshens up the air in Car Cabin, and thus prevents the occupants from harmful effects of outside air pollution. Car purchasers will love to buy the product, to keep their family safe.

Dehumidifier
15 Reasons Why You Need a Dehumidifier In Your Home.
Quick Overview on Dehumidifiers
You’ve made the first step to living in a healthier home recognizing that your living space is having humidity issues. Household dehumidifiers are useful appliances that help maintain preferred, and healthy, humidity levels within your space. They do so by working to cleanse the air of excess moisture and prevent mold, bacteria and other particulates from growing, all of which could lead to a variety of health issues in the long-run.
But where does one even begin to search for a home dehumidifier that fits their needs? Worry no more, our buying guide will provide you with adequate information and essential tips to help figure which kind of dehumidifier best suits your needs. To help you accomplish this, let’s take a look at what you should consider when buying a dehumidifier, and whether or not you even need one.
You know you need a dehumidifier if:
1)Moist or wet stains are present on walls or ceiling.
2)Room feels unpleasantly stuffy.
3)Windows are covered with condensation.
4)Musty odors exist.
5)Mold is visible.
6)Excess moisture.
Things to Consider While Shopping for a Dehumidifier
Dehumidifiers are effective units that come with many benefits for your space, and most importantly, yourself. They eliminate potentially dangerous variables that can affect your home, family and even your beloved pets.
Before making any kind or purchase, research should be done to find a dehumidifier that works best for you. Here are several things that you should keep in mind when you are shopping around for a new dehumidifier for your home.
1. Mold Prevention
Every homeowner’s worst nightmare, mold.
Mold is a fungal species that causes natural materials to breakdown through a process known as biodegradation. Mold can become dangerous in large quantities, putting household residents’ health at risk. Symptoms of mold allergies can include: eye and throat irritation, skin rashes, sneezing, itchy throat and/or coughing, not to mention help contribute to asthma attacks.
Moist, damp air is the ideal environment for mold to flourish (50-65% humidity), and a dehumidifier can remove the surplus moisture while preventing new mold from growing. If you or anybody in your home suffers from frequent asthma attacks or if you see mold growing in various places, then you should strongly consider getting a dehumidifier for your home.
2. Improve Air Quality
The quality of air in your home is not only measured in the amount of toxins that you may or may not be breathing in, but also by the humidity levels of the air itself. While there’s no denying that an air purifier is the most effective way to cleanse the air of potentially harmful substances, a dehumidifier does indeed play an important role in improving your indoor air quality.
In fact, no matter how many houseplants you have in your home or air purifiers running, it is impossible to keep your quality of air in your home at a healthy level if there is too much humidity.
3. Helps Eliminate Dust Mites
As we discussed above, dehumidifiers play an intricate role in improving the overall indoor air quality within your home. Not only by removing excessive levels of humidity, but also by eliminating dust mites—who may be the culprits for why you’ve been wheezing so much recently.
Household dust mites are a common cause for many allergy-related symptoms and asthma, and they thrive in humid, warm climates. Dehumidifiers help keep the overall humidity in your house at an optimal level, therefore helping eliminate the environment in which dust mites survive in.
While you’ll likely never completely rid your home of these tiny mites, there are plenty of things you can do to keep them at bay. By creating an unfavorable environment for them to live in will go a long way in preventing the possible health-related ailments that they may cause.
4. Protects Your Home
High humidity levels can destroy your home’s structural integrity. Over time, moisture can affect the wood in your home, including the support beams, causing them to warp, crack or even split. Mold can start to grow in the wall. Metal fittings may start to rust. All because there is too much humidity in your home. A dehumidifier is an easy way to prevent your home from slowly deteriorating, while simultaneously creating a healthier living environment for your family.
5. Helps You Feel Comfortable
When moisture is present in your space, temperatures may feel warmer than they actually are. By removing moisture from the air, you will feel more comfortable without having to crank up your air conditioner. In fact, you could probably raise the temperature on your thermostat and make your home more energy-efficient, as a result. This is especially true throughout the warmest times of the year.
6. Can Be Used In Any Room
Whether you have an extremely moist basement or a humid living room, there is a dehumidifier designed specifically for that space. In fact, many popular home dehumidifiers can be used within all of these spaces in your home, to help ensure a dry environment.
Some dehumidifiers offer a feature called “low temperature operation” that allows it to be used in climates as cool as -4°F, making these appliances perfect for year-round use. Many home dehumidifiers come equipped with casters for convenient mobility, enabling the unit to be easily transported from room to room, providing treatment whenever and wherever it’s needed.
7. Different Sizes Available
Before making any kind of purchase, it’s important to figure out which size dehumidifier is properly suited for your home. Dehumidifiers remove moisture in terms of pint capacity, emphasizing each unit’s reservoir size.
Small Rooms:
For lightly damp or small rooms, such as bathrooms or laundry rooms, a dehumidifier with a capacity of 25-40 pints is recommended for that size space.
Mid-Sized Rooms:
For mid-sized rooms, such as bedrooms, or rooms with excessive levels of moisture, a dehumidifier with a 40-59 pint capacity is recommended.
Large Rooms:
For larger rooms, including living rooms or other open living-spaces, a dehumidifier with a 60+ pint-capacity is recommended.
Basements, Garages & Crawlspaces:
If your garage, basement or crawlspace needs to be treated as well, a 60+ pint sized unit is generally recommended. However, there are specially-designed units designated for these areas. We would recommend using one of those, if possible, especially if the device will be used in that area for prolonged use.
The above room sizes typically cover the standard home, however, if you require an even larger unit, then you may want to look into getting a commercial and industrial-grade dehumidifiers. Units rated with a capacity of 70 pints or less are ideal for residential use, while larger-sized dehumidifiers are perfect for commercial and industrial settings, such as warehouses, factories and server rooms.
However, keep in mind that a larger size dehumidifier isn’t necessarily better; the performance of a dehumidifier is affected by the size and humidity levels in the space being treated.
8. Many Budget-Friendly Options
Before you rush out and spend a lot of money on a dehumidifier, it’s important to research the different types and brands available to you, as well as what your intentions are once you buy the appliance. Once you know this, it will be significantly easier to find the right dehumidifier for your home or situation.
Larger capacity units are generally more expensive, because of their ability to treat vast spaces. Additionally, the same can be said about the brand you are buying. EdgeStar and Danby have a well-known and deeply-rooted reputation for creating quality products that last for many years. You may pay a little more upfront, but you’ll get more from the unit over time.
Depending on your intent with the appliance, the price can vary widely. If you have a specific budget in mind, narrowing down your choices based on a dehumidifier’s features will not only help find an appliance in your price range, but also to find a unit designed for your objective. This is why it’s important to know what and where you plan on using the device.
9. Portable & Convenient
Having a dehumidifier with mobile capabilities can be convenient, especially for long-term use. Nowadays, it’s pretty much standard that a dehumidifier will come with casters and carrying handles, but if not, this is a must-have feature we would recommend. Not only will it make it easier to use on a daily basis, but it will make it easier for you to move from one area of your home to another. This will allow you to buy one unit and use it strategically in your home, instead of buying multiple units designated for multiple areas in your home.
10. Energy Efficiency Helps You Save Money
When a unit has an Energy Star rating it means the dehumidifier is able to operate in an energy-conscious manner to help you save energy, which means you are able to cut down on your utility costs. Not only will this help create a healthier environment for you and your family, but you can save money in the process.
In order for a product to become Energy Star Rated, it must meet strict guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency. And this is no easy feat.
11. Maintenance is Easy & Quick
Look for a dehumidifiers with a top-loading filter. This innovative feature allows for very simple and quick maintenance.
While many dehumidifiers require the internal reservoir to be taken out in order to change or clean the filter, units with this feature have a convenient compartment on top which provides immediate access to the filter. This cuts down on time spent trying to open the device and prevents an unneeded mess from occurring. And trust me, removing and emptying an internal reservoir will lead to an unwanted mess at some point.
12. Automatic Shut-Off Saves You Time & Energy
Designed to further cut down on energy costs, dehumidifiers with an automatic shut-off feature use intelligent software to actively monitor your space’s climate and will shut down once the desired humidity level has been reached. In addition, units with this feature will also shut down once the internal reservoir is full. Another must-have feature when it comes to buying a dehumidifier for your home, automatic shut-off will ensure that the device only operates at their best ability.
13. Auto Defrost Saves You Time
Automatic defrosting dehumidifiers are convenient and save time when it comes to maintenance. The automatic defrost feature is a must-have feature for anybody that plans to use their device in colder climates. Autdo defrost allows you to operate your unit without the worry of frost damage. While most dehumidifiers can function in low temperature spaces, appliances designed for the cold can operate without the danger of the units’ coils icing over.
14. Restarts Automatically
In times of power outages—or any time your electricity suddenly shuts off—the automatic restart feature is a godsend. This feature ensures that your dehumidifier will continue to operate at its previously configured settings as soon as the power has been restored, making sure your space continues to receive the dehumidifying treatment it needs. This feature is a must-have for people who travel/work a lot and are home less frequently.
15. Drains Continuously
Although some dehumidifiers may have a large reservoir capacity, allowing for continuous drainage can reduce user maintenance, as well as provide continual dehumidification for your space. Some units come equipped with drainage hoses that connect to the internal reservoir and utilize gravity to feed built-up moisture to the nearest drain. Gravity drains have the ability to only drain liquid vertically, so if you’re in need of a more powerful option then looking into a condensate pump may be beneficial. Condensate pumps are great for locations with diverse elevation and work to pump the liquid vertically and horizontally to the nearest drain
A dehumidifier is generally a household appliance which reduces the level of humidity in the air, usually for health or comfort reasons, or to eliminate musty odor. Large dehumidifiers are also used in commercial buildings such as indoor ice rinks to control the humidity level.
8 Benefits of Owning a Dehumidifier
If you commonly get allergies, you know that they can get rather miserable at times. When you live in a humid climate, there are many triggers for these things—dust mites, mold, mildew, and seasonal allergies. If you find that you are suffering a lot, a good dehumidifier can help–in more ways than one. Here are some benefits of a dehumidifier and how to choose the right one for you.
Allergy Triggers Thrive in Humidity
Many of the most common allergy triggers, especially dust mites, mold, and mildew, thrive in humid environments. Whether you live in a humid climate, or you just have a living space that tends to be more humid, you may be suffering from these things. Small living spaces with limited ventilation, such as bathrooms or kitchens in a small apartment or basement apartments, are common areas where moisture can build up, even in dry climates.
Some of the most common reactions to allergy triggers include:
Stuffy nose
Itchy, watery eyes
Sneezing, wheezing, or difficulty breathing
Skin rashes and other irritation
Mold allergies are also a significant contributor to childhood asthma, which can be a debilitating and costly disease for children who develop it at a young age. This article expands on some of the dangers that allergens present when they are in your home.
Benefits of a Dehumidifier
There are several benefits to getting a dehumidifier in your home, basement, apartment, or office space.
Dehumidifiers reduce humidity levels, making your home less hospitable to allergens such as dust mites, mold, and mildew.
They are not disruptive to your daily life, and run quietly and efficiently in the background without most people even noticing.
Dehumidifiers help reduce odors that can accompany mold and mildew in your home—getting rid of that “musty” or “rotting” smell.
These devices help to reduce the possibility that you will develop mold on your clothing, furniture, and other linens (such as curtains or bed sheets).
Dehumidifiers reduce irritation to your skin and your respiratory system, allowing you to breathe easier and feel comfortable in your home.
A less humid environment in your home means clothing will dry faster, breads and cereals will remain fresh longer without getting stale, and you won’t find signs of rust or corrosion on things like computer equipment, electronics, and tools.
Running a dehumidifier helps reduce dust in your home, so you won’t have to clean as often.
A dehumidifier also lowers energy costs because it helps your air conditioner run more efficiently. When the air in your home is more humid, the A/C must do the function of cooling the air and removing moisture, which means it has to work harder. This also causes your A/C to wear out sooner, which means you will need to replace and repair it more often.
Signs You Need a Dehumidifier
In addition to suffering from constant symptoms of allergies, you may want to consider a dehumidifier if you have some obvious signs of high humidity in certain rooms or areas of your home, including:
Water stains on the walls or ceilings of your home
High humidity rooms with poor ventilation or no ventilation (especially in areas like bathrooms that have no windows)
Frequent condensation on the windows in certain areas of your home
Small black spots (mold spores) growing on the walls or in areas with high humidity, such as the bathtub or shower
Must or mildew smells
You may also want to consider a dehumidifier if you live in an apartment building, since mold and mildew spores can travel through ventilation systems, and can build up in the walls between apartments. Even if you keep your living area clean, these allergens from other areas of the building can be harmful to yours and your family’s health.
Choosing a Dehumidifier
There are several different options when it comes to dehumidifiers, and the one you choose depends on the space in which you plan to use it, as well as the humidity levels. There are small capacity models for a single small room, large capacity models for larger areas such as a large room, basement, or an apartment, and there are whole-house models available as well if you live in a very humid climate, you suffer from significant allergies, or you have a large home. For more specific and unique needs, consider purchasing a dehumidifier with special features.
Getting a dehumidifier can help you live a healthier, happier life, so if you are suffering from allergies and other symptoms, the answer to the question of whether you should own a dehumidifier is probably yes. Find out more about the different models and options available, and see which one will fit your budget and help you get clean, healthy air in your home.
By their operation, dehumidifiers extract water from the conditioned air. This collected water (usually called condensate) is not normally used for drinking, and is often discarded. Some designs, such as the ionic membrane dehumidifier, dispose of excess water in a vapor rather than liquid form. The energy efficiency of dehumidifiers can vary widely.
These methods rely on drawing air across a cold surface. Since the saturation vapor pressure of water decreases with decreasing temperature, the water in the air condenses on the surface, separating the water from the air.
Mechanical/refrigeration dehumidifiers, the most common type, usually work by drawing moist air over a refrigerated coil with a fan. The cold evaporator coil of the refrigeration device condenses the water, which is removed, and then the air is reheated by the condenser coil. The now dehumidified, re-warmed air is released into the room. This process works most effectively at higher ambient temperatures with a high dew point temperature. In cold climates, the process is less effective. It is most effective at over 45% relative humidity; higher if the air is cold.
