Prevent Airborne Bacteria
Control Aerial Bacteria in the Home
Airborne bacteria in your home are spread through expelling droplets through breathing, talking, laughing, and coughing.
These droplets can land on surfaces or can hang in the air exposing you and others you come in contact with to infection.
As we spend more time indoors, it becomes important to protect you and others from these airborne bacteria that can cause a litany of health issues. Airborne bacteria are, on average, 0.2 to 0.3 microns in size. For comparison, a human hair is 50 microns or 250 times the size. And anything smaller than 40 microns is invisible to the human eye.
A bacteria air filter, among other products, can help you reduce the amount of airborne bacteria in your home's indoor environment.
How AprilAire Can Help Prevent Aerial Bacteria
Airborne bacteria can easily be transmitted between humans in improperly equipped indoor environments.
An AprilAire MERV 16 Air Filter captures 98%* of airborne viruses that pass through the filtering system. Purifying the air with the help of an air purifier can help reduce the number of airborne bacteria present in your home's air.
A fresh air ventilation system can also help dilute the airborne bacteria present in your air by pushing out the infected air and replacing it with fresh, filtered air from the outside.
Humidity control will help control the size of droplets. Dry air will evaporate the aerosols making them smaller. Smaller droplets can recirculate through the air easier and will suspend in the air longer while the larger droplets in humidified will fall the ground quicker. Cleaning these surfaces, including your hands, will help reduce transmission with larger droplets.
The AprilAire Healthy Air System® combines all of these approaches and more to help reduce airborne bacteria in the home.
