Air Purifiers for gym

Air Purifiers For Gym

We exercise in gyms to get healthier. That’s the whole point. But, when most gyms contain high levels of dust, formaldehyde and carbon dioxide, how healthy is the air you’re breathing when working out? Studies find most gyms exceeds acceptable air quality levels, whether management realizes or not. If you own or operate a gym, use Air Concept’s portable commercial air purifiers and keep your members lively for longer.

For the stuffy air and smells, we use a special activated carbon filter. For dust from the air ducts or even airborne pollen or mold spores, we use true HEPA air filters to catch them all.

Application

Gyms, Health & Wellness Centers, Dance Studio, Cross Fit, Pilates Studio and Yoga Class

Carpets

Carpet pollutants become airborne during renovations at gym or while doing vacuum cleaning. Even during the daily activities like walking on the carpet escalates the growth of impurities in surroundings.

What it contains – volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as toluene, formaldehyde, and acetone

Effects – Headaches, throat and eye irritation, allergies and drowsiness, lower IQ, cause birth defects, decreased fertility leading to diseases related to liver, kidneys, blood and ovaries.

Air Fresheners

Air purifiers should be installed to get rid of odors and even the causes of odors completely rather than simply masking unpleasant smells.

What it contains – Toxic pollutants in the air and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

Sources – Air Freshener

Effects – Neurological disorders, fatigue, tremor, anemia, and nausea.

Dust and Shoe Debris

The moment you enter the gym, you bring along countless pollutants with your footwear, thus increasing the chances of indoor air pollution. Air Purifier is needed to decrease the chances of infections which might leave a damaging impact on liver, kidney and other body parts.

What it contains – Lead dust, fertilizers, and animal waste, dust mites, insects

Effects – Eyes, Nose, Throat Irritation Headaches, loss of coordination, nausea damage to the liver, kidney, and central nervous system

Paints

There has been an urgent need to buy Air Purifiers to fight against the odds behind the soothing paint colors. The colorful paint on the walls seems to be soothing to eyes, but do you think these colors don’t leave any adverse effect on your body? Think about it.

What it contains – hazardous volatile organic compounds (VOCs), microscopic particles, and indoor dust that contaminates

Effects – In low concentrations, it adversely affects the brain, central nervous systems, blood cells, and kidneys. At high concentrations, it can cause convulsions and even death, along with abdominal pain, high blood pressure and kidney dysfunction

How To Ward Off Indoor Air Pollution At Home With Air Purifiers?

Air Purifiers contain various filters that almost negate the indoor pollutants and return the air quality to safer levels. While there are many air purification filters that are used in air purifiers, there are only some that are very relevant to air purification at home. While it’s good to have several filters, the filters that are must are Pre Filter, Activated Carbon Filter, HEPA filter.

A HEPA filter and Activated Carbon filter does the job of completely removing smoke and harmful gases from the air and reduce indoor air pollution.

There are a lot of contaminants like particles of dust, pet dander, and other allergens. They are captured by Pre-Filter. This helps in increasing the longevity of HEPA filters. Pre-filter removes the bigger particles and protects the HEPA filter from clogging. The main function of pre-filter is to reduce expenses that can result from clogging of HEPA filter.

The treatment of carbon with oxygen opens up multiple tiny pores on the surface of the carbon. The pores are so much in number that one pound of activated carbon provides 60-150 acres of surface area. It works on the concept of adsorption. The gas elements bond with the surface of solid. Activated carbon is the solid material that adsorbs air pollutants that are 60% of its weight. Once they are adsorbed by filters, the purified air leaves from the other side.

HEPA stands for High-Efficiency Particulate Air. They are used in combination with an activated carbon filter and impart high efficiency of an air filter. It removes a wide range of airborne pollutants and also removes dust mites, pollen, mold and pet dander which are responsible for triggering problems like asthma. HEPA filter removes 99.9% of airborne contaminants which are of the size 0.01 microns. It is the most efficient for people suffering from allergies and asthma.
