It used to be not long ago that a clean
home was very fundamental to uphold. All
you needed was a duster and possibly a
decent vacuum along with some cleansing
soaps- for the ordinary household that's
probably what it took to get the job
done in most cases.

Nowadays we have a lot more technologies
at our disposal to use although they are
based on the same basic fundamentals.
When you bought your home you bought
along with it all the grime, grease,
dust mites, animal dander, bacteria,
mold, spores, and other stuff left
behind by the first owners of your
house.

And let's not forget the additional mass
of clutter that is brought in and day in
and day out from simply walking in and
out of the door each day and bringing in
new uninvited guests. Uninvited guests
including perhaps the smog and pollution
which has clung to your clothing, become
stuck under your shoe from walking in
the park, animal dander from your own
pet or pets, and even insect parts that
may find its way into your house
(perhaps even bits and pieces of them).

So unless you can shell out for to have
a full-time maid working in your house
or at least once a week or something,
you're going to need to do the job
yourself. Along with the rooms that have
been discussed already you might want to
consider getting an air purifier for
each room of your house.

If you would like to work out at home
you certainly want to include an air
purifier nearby because it's been proven
that working out tends to cause our
lungs to need even more air during more
tough physical activities.

You'll also want an air purifier in your
bedroom because when we sleep we also
need more air. During those two
activities we very much want to have the
cleanest and freshest air possible.

Aside from your basic domestic
appliances such as the vacuum or steam
cleaner that's pretty much all you need
as an initiating point. Simple right?

It used to be not long ago that a clean home was very simple
to maintain. All you needed was a duster and perhaps a
decent vacuum along with some cleansing soaps- for the
average household that's probably what it took to get the
job done in most cases.

Have you heard the term personal air
purifier? Now, you may be thinking,
"what the heck is a personal air
purifier? I'm not going to carry one of
those big bulky things around."

Well, you're in luck! You don't have to
carry a big bulky air purifier around
under your arm. You can wear an air
purifier around your neck. An they're
not big and bulky. Today's personal air
purifiers are about the size of a butane
lighter and hand around your neck on a
strap.

So why would you want a personal air
purifier? Think about how we travel
today, especially in crowded cities or
on air planes. Many of our modes of
transportation cause us to be in close
quarters with the traveling public. And
if you are unlucky enough to have to
ride the bus or subway and are even more
unlucky to end up as a "straphanger" you
just might be looking right into
someone's mouth on your ride to work in
the morning.

And don't think you're off the hook, a
little pun there, if you use different
modes of public transportation.
Airplanes recycle the same air through
their entire flight. Yes, the air is
filtered, but what if someone on the
plane is sick. Do you want to be
breathing their air your entire flight?

That's where a personal air purifier can
help. What they do is create an
"exclusion zone" around your head that
helps keep harmful bacteria and
particles out of your breathing space.
This happens by the unit emitting an ion
wind that charges particles, causing
them to repel each other, thus moving
them out of your immediate breathing
space.

The purifier creates this exclusion zone
that extends out about 2 to 3 feet from
the wearer's head. This exclusion zone
can substantially reduce the amount of
dust, particles, smoke, bacteria and
yes, even perfumes. So, if Grandma goes
a little heavy on the perfume during
holidays, you can be prepared next time
with a personal air purifier.

While personal air purifiers are great
for use in crowded areas to give you
cleaner air to breathe, they are not a
substitute for times when a mask should
be in use. When involved in any
operation like sanding, chemical
spraying, or other times when heavy
particulate or sprays will be a factor,
proper safety equipment should always be
used.

Have you heard the term personal air purifier? Now, you may
be thinking, "what the heck is a personal air purifier? I'm
not going to carry one of those big bulky things around."

Just as with anything else, filterless
air purifiers offer a variety of pros
and cons to those who use them.
Depending upon the size, brand and
overall effectiveness of the unit, what
might ? on one hand ? be seen as nothing
more than a nuisance that doesn?t offer
enough in the way of relief from
allergens for the amount that you paid
for it, might also be the answer to
someone?s dreams, if the benefits are
great enough.

For instance, if you?re hoping to
recycle the air throughout a large
house, but have purchased a purifier
that?s only equipped to handle a single
room, then you?re going to be
disappointed with its apparent
performance. It?s important to consider
all of the facts before making the
commitment to buy a particular type of
air purification system. Otherwise, you
might just as well chase the wind ? the
success rate for each will be about the
same.

Although there are many different types
of filtration systems for the air, one
of the best is the Electrostatic Air
Purifier. Offering a lot in the way of
health benefits, this unique approach to
air cleaning has been a critical tool in
the eradication of irritants in the
interior of homes across the nation.
Let?s take a look at some of the assets
and liabilities that this type of air
system has to offer.

Positives on an Electrostatic Air
Purifier

+ By virtue of its very nature, this
type of air filtration system is
extremely quiet ? and often, silent ?
making it less conspicuous than other
purifying methods.

+ Unlike other types of air cleaners,
the Electrostatic Air Purifier uses no
filters that need to be replaced.
Instead, steel collection rods attract
the contaminants, which can then be
removed during the cleaning process.

+ Due to their silent nature, these can
be left on 24/7, offering continuous air
purification. Other types of filtration
systems are often turned off
periodically, due to the noise factor,
allowing allergens to take over the room
in very short order.

+ A variety of allergens are trapped
within the collection rods ? often as
small as a single micron. That being the
case, irritants such as cat dander,
pollen and other common pollutants can
easily be filtered from the room to
improve the quality of the air that you
and your loved ones are breathing.

+ Provides thorough cleansing of the
air, offering both an allergen-free
environment and a natural air freshener
by removing odors from the air that are
caused by various contaminants.

Negatives

+ The initial cost of systems such as
these can often be quite expensive. For
those who are unprepared to handle a
hefty price tag, this will be a great
deterrent.

+ Since it pulls virtually all of the
allergens and other contaminants out of
the air within the structure of the home
and holds them on steel collection rods,
it requires frequent cleaning, so that
the rods will be free to continue
collecting the pollutants from the air.

+ Depending upon the brand and model
that you purchase, some of the units can
be a bit noisy, which is seen as an
irritant by some people.

+ As a result of the way that this type
of air cleaning system works, ozone and
ions are released into the air, which
can have adverse side effects to those
who come into contact with them.

Whether you view the Electrostatic Air
Purifier in a positive or negative
light, there?s definitely something to
be said for the fact that it?s
successful in its ability to cleanse the
air of those pollutants that trigger
allergic reactions and ? in some cases ?
agents which are responsible for
spreading common illnesses.

Just as with anything else, filterless air purifiers offer a
variety of pros and cons to those who use them. Depending
upon the size, brand and overall effectiveness of the unit,
what might ? on one hand ? be seen as nothing more than a

Nowadays air purifiers have become
irreplaceable parts of our modern lives.
We can't ensure that the breath we are
taking even in home is secure or not.
Air purifiers efficiently solve this
problem. Everywhere, whether it is at
hospitals, offices or homea there is a
great need of air purifiers. iq air
purifiers have a wide range of products
that will satisfy your needs.

We all know that nothing is 100%PRCTG% perfect
in this world, but at least, I can share
with you that there is, actually, an air
purifier that is attested to be the most
efficient, reliable, flexible and cost
effective solution by a highly reliable
institution. It was, indeed, chosen by
the Hong Kong Government Hospitals for
use in the SARS patient rooms and it's
called Iqair Air Purifier.

IQAir is the air purifier system that
came as the winner of the test by Hong
Kong Government to find the most
efficient, reliable, flexible and cost
effective solution, back to those time
where SARS was threatening to a high
degree. The selection process was
carried out by the Hong Kong Government.
They evaluated the suitability and
performance of many filtration systems,
including IQAir. With the help of a
laser particle counter the EMSD tested
the actual filtration efficiency of each
filtration system

Iqair purifiers are the best air
cleaners. These units have great
consistency in their performance to
filter allergies and restricting
polluted air, dust and dirt particles.
IQ air purifier series is a pioneer in
their both style and technical design.
These purifiers are smarter in terms of
minimal leakage over the filter modules.
IQ HEPA Air purifier cleans the air
passing through the air filter up to
99.99%PRCTG%. It is the combination of two
technologies. The IQAir prevents the
leaked air to come back to room. These
are the most silent air purifiers in the
market.

In the case of a SARS emergency, the
self-contained mobile IQAir filtration
system can immediately be positioned
next to the SARS patient's bed. The
flexible suction arm is positioned near
the patients face to capture airborne
droplets that are expelled by coughing
and sneezing. The contaminated air is
then drawn into the system and filtered
in a 3-stage filtration process. At the
final filtration stage IQAir's
independently type-tested HyperHEPA
filter will remove even the tiniest of
airborne particulates, including the
SARS virus, with a minimum efficiency of
99.5%PRCTG%. As a result the risk of infection
within the patient's room can be greatly
reduced, thus providing a safer working
environment for health-care personnel
and reducing the possibility of
spreading of the disease.

Nowadays air purifiers have become irreplaceable parts of
our modern lives. We can't ensure that the breath we are
taking even in home is secure or not. Air purifiers
efficiently solve this problem. Everywhere, whether it is at
hospitals, offices or homea there is a great need of air
purifiers. iq air purifiers have a wide range of products

There are particular circumstances where
owning an air purifier appliance can
really benefit you rather than only be a
costly toy. Besides, don't be persuaded
to buy a decorative ionic air purifier
only because everyone else appears to be
buying one.

And you definitely don't have to yield
to fear by squandering money you are
unable to afford on yet another device.
Some residences where the family members
are in good health and do not smoke will
not require an air purifier. And then,
some will.

Who Needs One?

If you dwell in a home with a smoker, it
follows that an air purifier not simply
makes the dwelling-place smell better,
it also helps you easier to respire for
the persons who are not smoking of the
room. Non-smokers who dwell with
smokers with an air purifier regularly
feedback that their eyes no more sore as
previously or they need not have to
cough as much as in the past.

Another kind of person who can benefit
from an air purifier is someone who is
allergic to pet dander and wants to do
the humane thing and keep the pet.
Although not a magic bullet solution, an
air purifier can help make life a lot
more bearable for the person allergic to
pet dander. Both smoke and pet dander
is large particles that cause irritation
that can be more easily trapped in an
air purifier.

People with severe breathing problems
like bronchitis can also benefit from
modern air purifiers. You still need to
clean your home regularly, take your
medication, keep your home ventilated
and follow your doctor's advice. But
some people with severe allergies or
bronchitis have claimed their quality of
life is better with an air purifier in
their home.

What They Can't Do

If you're going to invest in an air
purifier, then you better be aware of
their limitations so you don't get any
nasty surprises. Don't expect these
neat little gadgets to filter out germs
or airborne bacteria.

Those are exceptionally tiny particles
that will not get entrapped in a filter.
They also unable to help battling dust
mites, just in case you or another
person in your residence has problem
with a dust mite allergy.

Also, differing from some modern
legends, no air purifier on sale will
help guard you from a nuclear blast.
If it did, naturally there would not be
any atomic bombs anywhere anymore, nor
would there be non-nuclear nations
wanting to find out how to obtain these
bombs. And yes, there are even now some
persons who will believe anything.

There are particular circumstances where owning an air
purifier appliance can really benefit you rather than only
be a costly toy. Besides, don't be persuaded to buy a
decorative ionic air purifier only because everyone else
appears to be buying one.

Engine oil (level, colour) remember
winter engine idling is hard on the oil

Coolant (level, concentration of
antifreeze, condition) depends where you
live -45 celcius or -50 F is a good
level.

Transmission (fluid level, condition,
leaks?) Has it been serviced recently?
Is the colour of the fluid nice and red
and how does it smell (ie: burned
smell?)

Power steering fluid (level, condition)
Same as transmission: check smell and
colour.

Belts & hose (condition) check for
crackes and/or frayed belts. Hoses and
clamps, check for cracks and leaks

Battery and battery cables (charge
level, condition, corrosion) keep the
battery clamps clean

Spark plug wires (loose, damaged?) when
was the last tune-up? Vehicles are
harder to start in the winter

Air filter- make sure to check with a
light, if the light shines through the
filter it is OK, clean filter by tapping
against a wall

Windshield washer fluid- be sure to
install winter washer fluids. (you don't
want a solid block of ice in your
washer)

Under the Car

Exhaust system (leaks, damage)-------
exhaust fumes can kill !!!!!!

Steering (loose, worn or damaged parts)
How much free-play in your

Suspension (ball joints, shocks, struts,
springs) These parts can fall apart and
you'll have no steering

Ride height (ground clearance) look for
broken exhaust pipes, mufler hanging
down

Motor mounts (inspect bushings for rips,
cracks, breaks) These are harder to
check, watch for excesive engine
movement.

Outside the Car

Wiper blades (condition) winter blades
prefered, these blades wont plug-up with
snow and ice.(keeps the blade flat

All lights (proper operation, angle of
beam) include fog and driving lights

Tires (very important) your life rides
on these. All Wheel Drives (AWD) ALL
FOUR TIRES....Same size and same brand!

Studded snowtires Front Wheel Drive
(FWD) Studded tires all around, (this
should prevent the backend of you
vehicle trying to pass you on an icy
road)

Inside the Car

Brake pedal (tightness) if you have a
spongy pedal you may have air in the
system or worse brakepads and/or shoes
worn.

Brake and warning lights (bulb check)
when you first start the vehicle these
bulbs should light up for a few seconds

Heater (proper operation) Sometimes
heater cores plug-up and you wont have
enough flow to heat inside or proper
defrost

Front and rear defrosters (proper
operation) Rear window is electric, are
all grids working?
