HEPA Filters Might Improve Your Cardiovascular Health
A press release discussing HEPA filters for cardiovascular health was recently featured on television as well as in numerous online publications. According to the American Thoracic Society, a recent study in Denmark by the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine has shown links between the use of HEPA filters and improved cardiovascular health of the non-smoking elderly in as little as two days of use. They’ve reported that the HEPA filter eliminated 60% of ultrafine, fine, and coarse home air particles, yielding an 8.1% increase in microvascular function (the use of the small blood vessels in areas like fingers).
Running tests using air purifiers with and without HEPA filters in several homes, the researchers were very excited by the results. HEPA filters dramatically increased the effectiveness of the air purifiers, and consequently, the cardiovascular health of the individuals affected by the indoor air.
At HomeAire, this gives us even more reason to be proud to represent top quality HEPA air cleaners in our online HomeAire store. The HEPA, portable room air purifiers and other HEPA filtration systems we have are the most effective, eliminating 99.7% of airborne particles and allergens. Now in addition to the already evident benefit to our respiratory health regarding allergies or infections, we’re happy to broaden our knowledge of the more widespread benefits of HEPA filters in people of all ages.
