It traps and removes the fine quality dust particles that are so minute that human eye can barely see them. It also helps to remove bacteria, allergens, mold spores, pet dander, any foul smell, smoke, and other harmful particles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; color: #000000;\">When you switch on an air purifier, it starts to suck your <a href=\"\/?p=2133\">indoor air<\/a> into the machines through a series of filters. These filters are called HEPA filter which has the ability to capture tiny particle up to 0.3 microns. These particles are at times, the real cause to the allergies, asthma and other respiratory conditions. The true HEPA filters can remove airborne pollutants up to 99.97% effectiveness. The air purifiers clean and filters out the pollutants from your indoor environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Humidifier_Basics_Knowledge_and_its_functionality\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; color: #000000;\">Humidifier: Basics Knowledge and its functionality<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2729\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2729\" style=\"width: 599px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2729\" title=\"humidifier\" src=\"https:\/\/pranaair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/humidifier.jpg\" alt=\"humidifier\" width=\"599\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/humidifier.jpg 424w, https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/humidifier-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2729\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">Humidifier |Photo Credit: Google Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; color: #000000;\">A humidifier is a device which works best in adding moisture in the room due to high humidity level. The main function of a humidifier is to pump the water vapor to add moisture back in the air of your room.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; color: #000000;\">Chapped lips, nosebleeds, skin irritation, skin dryness, and persistent coughing are a few symptoms that occur when the indoor environment has too much of humidity. As per the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards, the indoor humidity level must be between 30-50%. Below 30% is too dry, and it can cause severe health issues. Over 50% humidity level can encourage mold growth, dust mite reproduction and mildew in the indoors.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_10_MYTHS_SURROUNDING_INDOOR_AIR_BUSTED\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\"><em>Read\u00a0<a href=\"\/?p=1747\">10 MYTHS SURROUNDING INDOOR AIR BUSTED<\/a><\/em><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; color: #000000;\">Humidifiers function quite effectively and are most-part self-regulating. There is a little reservoir that holds cold water and dispenses it into a basin. The filter absorbs the water from the basin and then a fan blows air through the moistened filter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; color: #000000;\">As the air passes through the filter, it evaporates the water. The higher the relative humidity, the harder it is to evaporate water from the filter, which is why a humidifier is self-regulating &#8212; as humidity increases, the humidifier&#8217;s water-vapor output naturally decreases.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_is_better_An_Air_Purifier_or_a_Humidifier\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><strong>Which is better: An Air Purifier or a Humidifier?<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Understanding the basics of both the devices always narrows down to the answer to this question.
