Does an Air Purifier Get Rid of Household Mold?

Molds are fungal organisms feeding on food, soil, decaying plants, fabrics and just about anything retaining moisture for more than 12 hours. Mold reproduces rapidly by discharging millions of hardy, microscopic spores. Since these spores can withstand freezing, drying and extreme temperatures, eliminating mold from your home once it has developed can be difficult. In addition, mold spores drifting in the air may cause allergy symptoms and respiratory illnesses. Coughing, runny/congested sinuses, wheezing and breathing problems often affect members of a household with mold issues. Unfortunately, mold tends to develop in dark, moist, warm areas concealed from view. In many cases, you could be suffering severe reactions to mold but think you just have a sinus infection or the flu.

Preventing Mold in the Home

Make use of humidity gauges and hygrometers (for measuring levels of atmospheric water vapor) to reduce high humidity levels. If your home is at risk for suffering higher than normal humidity levels, consider installing a dehumidifer in addition to an Austin Air purifier. Repairing leaky roofs, improving air circulation in attics and replacing deteriorated gutters are a few things you can do to decrease humidity in your home.

All Austin Air purifiers are designated as Medical Grade Air Purifiers, meaning they comply with standards established by hospitals and other medical centers.
