Like most people I love to enter a room and have my senses greeted by pleasant sounds and fragrances, or at least by the absence of unpleasant ones! The Heaven Fresh Ionic Air Purifier Ioniser does just this in a great way and is a good investment. I came across this product while searching for Respironics replacement filters and a Travel Air Rechargeable Battery.
An air purifier is a device used to remove air contaminants from an indoor environment. Air purifiers designed for residential use are usually promoted as being useful to allergy sufferers and individuals suffering from asthma. They are also promoted as a good alternative product for reducing the effect of second-hand smoke. Nevertheless, these systems have both positive and negative aspects.
Function
Air filters remove contaminated dust particles from the air. They also use high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters to clean the circulated air. Microns are the standard measurement units for air particles; these particles are not visible to naked human eyes. The HEPA filters are able to remove about 99.9 per cent of any particle bigger than 0.3 microns. They have been promoted as being able to clean dust, smoke, asbestos, pet dander, pollen and other particles from the air.
Since their introduction, the market for air purifiers has expanded greatly to become a very profitable business. Only ten years ago, the market penetration for air purifiers was estimated to be at fourteen per cent. That is an extreme level of success for any household appliance that may have been considered more of a novelty in earlier decades. Due to the fact that air purifiers have become a multi-hundred million dollar industry, it is obvious that the marketing of these appliances has been extremely successful.
In certain aspects, some air purifiers on the market do in fact live up to the advertising. The most successful of these air filters in terms of doing what they promise are also unfortunately some of the most expensive. However they are worth the expense, as are some other things such as good dressings for wounds.
Historically, and still the case in many less developed areas and in an emergency, dressings are often improvised as needed. This can consist of anything, including clothing or spare material, which will fulfil some of the basic tenets of a dressing � usually stemming bleeding and absorbing exudate. The Aquacel AG Silver Hydrofibre Dressing may not be available for everyone but it is certainly the one to choose if you have the option.
Various types of dressings can be used to accomplish different objectives including:
Controlling the moisture content, so that the wound stays moist or dry. An example of a moisture-retaining dressing is Aquacel Silver Hydrofibre Dressing that is recommended, for example, for partial-thickness burns.
Protecting the wound from infection;
Removing slough; and
Maintaining the optimum pH and temperature to encourage healing.
Occlusive dressings, made from substances impervious to moisture such as plastic or latex, can be used to increase the rate of absorption of certain topical medications into the skin.
