An increasing number of international medical studies have linked cardiovascular disease to ultrafine particulate matter in the air we breathe. Those at greatest risk include the elderly, the very young, and persons suffering from any cardiorespiratory problems including high blood pressure, heart disease, vascular issues, and asthma.
More recent studies now indicate that when indoor air is continuously filtered and particulate matter of approximately 0.3 microns is removed, medical patients experience improvements in cardiovascular and respiratory health at significant levels.
Reduction of ultrafine particle exposure by filtration of re-circulated indoor air for only 48 hours improved the MVF in healthy elderly citizens, suggesting that this may be a feasible way of reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
One recent study utilized air cleaners from HealthWay, a leading international manufacturer of FDA-listed, medical-grade air purification systems located in Upstate New York. "It is absolutely essential that we utilize high quality air cleaners to continuously scrub the air and reduce harmful ultrafine particles," states Vinny Lobdell, Vice President at HealthWay.
HealthWay air cleaners have been independently tested and shown to capture 100% of all ultrafine particles. It is these ultrafine particles that penetrate deep into the bloodstream and wreak havoc on our bodies. Testing verified that the HealthWay Deluxe model removed all virus-sized particles entering it.
Other 3rd party testing has also been done on HealthWay air cleaners and their effectiveness in removing ultrafine particles from the air. Last year at the International Healthy Buildings Conference in Syracuse, New York, a a leading manufacturer of ultrafine particle measurement instruments verified with testing at the show that the HealthWay technology captures 100% of ultrafine particles at 0.01 micron.

Air cleaners are no longer solely used by asthmatics and those suffering from allergies. "Increasingly we all are faced with health risks associated with unhealthy indoor air," adds Mr. Lobdell. "We all need to take the proper precautions to create the healthiest indoor environment possible."
HealthWay provides air cleaners in many different form factors for residential, commercial and industrial use and they all utilize their patentedand proventechnology in capturing allergens, pollutants, bacteria and viruses.
