Vicks Air Purifier

Since American gas prices have made the appearance of multiple cars on the highway idling away on the way to the beach almost as rare as seeing a flying saucer, everyone may have forgotten just how polluted the air is. But big guzzling Cadillac Escalades and old-fashioned eighties model Toyotas aren't the only cause of smelly air swimming around the atmosphere and right into the human body. Your own living room could be contaminated with the unsafe chemicals routinely found in homes. Well, that sounds like a job for the Vicks Air Purifier.

Air Purifiers By Vicks and The HEPA Filter

Vicks has a couple of high class, "high priority for limiting toxins in your home" air purifiers. The Vicks True Hepa Air Purifier V9075 and the Vicks True Hepa Air Purifier 9130 (same features different sizes) both retail under the name made famous for stopping stuffy heads and runny noses for your comfortable eight hours of shut eye-even when you've got a killer head cold that's making you see double.

The Vicks Air Purifier proudly boast of being the "true hepa." That's great, but what's "the true hepa" really mean anyway? HEPA is an acronym for high efficiency particlate arrestance. The high efficiency particlate arrestance air filter was developed during the World War II era.

The filter was created speficially with the intention of capturing dust and any radioactive particles that may make there way into the military researchers. Since no one wants polluted lungs, the HEPA filter's main goal was the protector of the health of the respiratory system. And that's exactly what it does today as a part of the Vicks air purifier.

HEPA air purifiers, and air filters, are air cleaners that use their fan to attract pollutants in the atmosphere. Once the undesirables are trapped in the HEPA's filter, clean air is remitted back into the room. Coming from this long tradition, the Vicks air purifier continues the legacy, working essentially the same way.

True HEPA air purifiers and filters, like the Vicks Air Purifier, are recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency as tops as a proven method of air sweeping. In order for an air purifier to be classified as a true HEPA, the system must be certified at 99.97% in capturing potentially harmful home particles.
