How much do you know about the misunderstanding of using air purifier ?
Air purification equipment is gradually becoming popular, and most households already have one. However, the immature air purification market and various major purifier brands are coming together like "bamboo shoots after the fog". "Publicity and education" and the improvement of household ownership rate, it is simple to think that the air purifier can be easily turned on and off, but in fact, there are many skills that need to be paid attention to in the use of air purifiers, and the daily consumers are in the air purifier. There are different degrees of misunderstanding in the use of equipment.
Misunderstanding 1: Air purification equipment, no matter how big the home is, only one is enough for how many rooms.
When families consider the matching of living space and air purification equipment, when considering the applicable area of ​​a single unit and the maximum space treatment effectiveness in the equipment description, generally a conventional air purifier corresponds to one bedroom, and a large-sized room can be considered. Equipped with corresponding air purifiers based on the number of rooms.
Misunderstanding 2: A filter is used forever and does not need to be replaced.
This wrong perception is even more terrifying. At present, the filter commonly used in air purifiers is HEPA filter. The HEPA filter will gradually become saturated with the increase of adsorbed particulate matter, and the saturated filter will gradually lose the original filter. If the accumulated pollutants are not treated in time, secondary pollution will occur. Regarding the secondary pollution of the filter, the main reason is that the particles adsorbed on the filter will become a breeding ground for viruses and bacteria, which will multiply and breed bacteria. Pollution sources pose a great threat to human health.
Misunderstanding 3: Thinking that it can only be opened when the air pollution is serious
This is not the case. When the smog is reduced and the purifier stops working, the PM2.5 concentration in the indoor space will gradually increase. During the process, PM2.5 will continue to enter through the closed doors and windows. At the same time, in many cases, indoor air pollution is far more terrifying than smog. As early as 2011, the World Health Organization pointed out that indoor air is 5-10 times higher than outdoor air pollution (data from Xinmin Weekly). Such as bacteria, viruses, fungal spores and other pathogenic bacteria suspended in the air, and harmful pollutants such as pollen, asbestos, radon decay products, etc., will also seriously threaten human health.
In order to save electricity or think that it is enough to purify for a certain period of time, some consumers will turn it off after working for a period of time. However, in fact, the current air purifiers with better quality have intelligent modes and power-saving processing mechanisms. For families, air purifiers for pet allergies, for example, should be It is a long-term appliance.
Misunderstanding 4: Once the purifier is turned on, you don't need to pay attention.
This is true for some purifiers with fresh air function, but most of the purifiers in the market do not have fresh air function. Opening for a long time will cause the concentration of carbon dioxide in the room to rise continuously, resulting in problems such as poor breathing. Therefore, after a purifier without fresh air function has been used for a period of time, when the pollution is relatively slight, it is necessary to open the window for ventilation for a period of time, and replace the indoor air.
The use of air purification equipment is an extremely important measure to improve family health. As long as we avoid misunderstandings and use them scientifically, air pollution will come and be improved.
