subject: Medical Office Air Purifier--3 Reasons A Hepa Air Purifier Can Make Your Office Healthier [print this page] Visiting a medical office when you're sick often puts you in contact with a lot of other people who are sick as well. Exchanging airborne viruses and bacteria while you shouldn't be so hazardous.
1. Working in a medical office often means daily exposure to many more bacteria, virus, and germs than the average person. Being so close to sick patients means you are often exposed to bacteria and viruses sent airborne by the sneezing and coughing.
2. Having a high efficiency particle arresting air purifier operating 24 hours a day means airborne bacteria, viruses, and germs as small as .3, and sometimes even .1 micron, are taken out of the air constantly making the office a healthier place to be.
3. Having a stand alone, portable HEPA air purifier run 24 hours each day will remove pollutants constantly rather than allowing pollutant levels to become elevated at night and on weekends when the ventilation in the building is either lowered or shut off.
Being able to constantly filter the air in your office 24 hours a day without depending on the building's air filter is a huge plus towards keeping your air quality healthy. Removing airborne virus, bacteria and germs will result in healthier office staff and a lower absenteeism from work because of illness.
Patients who visit your office will be able to relax and feel that they are not putting their health at risk by visiting your office. So place the cleaner right out there in the waiting room area so that patients know they are less vulnerable since the air in the office is constantly being cleansed to give them the best chance for a speedy recovery.
A HEPA air purifier removes many airborne pollutants other than germs and viruses such as dust, mold and mildew, pollen, dander, gases, odors and chemicals. By definition a high efficiency particle arresting (or HEPA) air purifier need only remove airborne particulates as small as .3 microns which is great.
But many of the trouble-causing particulates are smaller than .3 microns. So choosing an air cleaner that can remove pollutants as small as .1 microns gives you an extra level of protection that is needed in a medical office.
Constantly being able to cleanse the air of these pollutants with up to five room changes an hour will help everyone in the office feel energized and help the office staff be more productive in helping the office help others.
