Best Air Purifier for COVID
Reduce Exposure to New COVID-19 Strains
Since the pandemic's start, the COVID-19 virus has mutated to adapt and survive, creating new variants of the disease. Some of these are even more contagious and deadly.
For example, the Alpha variant is 50% more contagious than the original virus. The Delta variant is said to be 50% more contagious than the Alpha variant.
There’s also the Delta Plus variant, a “subvariant” of Delta. According to CBS News, the Delta Plus variant can attack lung cells more aggressively than other versions. And it can better escape vaccines as well.
In November 2021, a new variant was reported to the World Health Organization (WHO): the Omicron variant. Omicron BA.5 is now the most dominant strain of the virus in the U.S.
The One Thing All COVID Variants Have in Common
The One Thing All COVID Variants Have in Common
Keeping track of new variants and their differing infection rates is enough to make your head spin. But there's one thing they all have in common: size.
Each variant of the COVID-19 virus is still .125 microns in size. That means it’s possible to reduce exposure to airborne particles by using an air purifier. But not just “any” air purifier. This is extremely important...
According to an extensive review carried out by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), air purifiers using a combination of HEPA and carbon are the most effective. However, the report also noted that a significant amount of HEPA and carbon must be used for efficacy.
The Austin Air Purifiers Against Virus and bacteria
A combination of activated carbon and Medical-Grade HEPA filters remove up to 99% of all airborne contaminants as small as 0.1 microns. Austin uses up to 15 pounds of carbon and 60 square feet of HEPA. No one else in the industry comes close.
The Austin Air Bedroom Machine has an extra level of protection against COVID-19, with a HEGA carbon cloth. A 2009 third-party study performed by the Health Protection Agency in the U.K. tested a surrogate virus that was 23-28 nm in diameter (smaller than the COVID-19 virus) and found the activated carbon cloth both captured and deactivated the virus.
