Create a healthy atmosphere in the house


Winter with its frosty freshness pleases us only on the street. And the air in the apartment remains at the disposal of house dust, kitchen soot, malignant germs and excruciating dryness of central heating. You can, of course, reconcile with this state of affairs. But why not improve your life by making the air of your home clean and useful? We ourselves create a healthy atmosphere in the house, everything is in our hands. Moreover, modern technologies quite allow it to be done.

Air cleaners against dust.

If you do not want to wait for humanity to take care of the ecology of your own planet, you can buy an air purifier. Air purifiers are of different types and differ in the type of filtration.

Adsorption air cleaners. Activated carbon acts as a barrier to harmful impurities. However, light compounds such as formaldehydes, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides are not up to it. Change the filter will have every 3-4 months, otherwise it will itself pollute the air.

Photocatalytic air cleaners. They are most effective. Since they do not accumulate harmful substances in themselves, they destroy them to harmless components. In this decomposition both toxins and viruses with bacteria are subject.

Electronic air cleaners. Here the main active substance is ionized air. He perfectly fights with dust and soot, creating a healthy atmosphere in the house. Neutralizes even tobacco smoke. But malignant formaldehyde, like a number of other organic compounds, can not be overpowered. And over time, and he begins to isolate the oxides of nitrogen and ozone.

Dust filters detain harmful impurities on a special fabric, with the exception of "volatile" compounds.

Humidification of air.

Dust can be cleaned with water. For this purpose special "washers" are invented. Getting into the device, the air gets rid of particles of dust, bacteria and pollen. Outside the air is not only cleaned, but also quite wet. What is especially important in the heating season. This creates a healthy atmosphere of freshness in the house.

Steam humidifiers also help get rid of dryness in the room. Used mainly for the care of plants, moisturizers will be useful to people. The water in them is heated by means of two electrodes. As a result, water turns into steam and, getting into the air, cleans it of unwanted impurities.

One way to humidify the air involves the use of ultrasound. With its help water is converted into a water cloud, which is then sprayed over the room. But the water for such moisturizing must necessarily be purified, even better - distilled. Otherwise, a white lime deposit will appear on the surface of the furniture.

Ionization of air.

Negatively charged ions for their toning and healing effect are called "air vitamins". And because the house is not superfluous will be a small device - the ionizer of air. When choosing it, you should pay attention to the concentration of aeroions. This indicator should be not less than 1000 ion / cu. cm, otherwise the very meaning of ionization disappears. The permissible voltage in domestic ionizers varies between 20-30 kV. If this indicator is less than 16 kV, the ionization process simply will not "start". And of course the manufacturer must specify the area of ​​the room the device is designed for. Ionizers should not be purchased, which, in the course of the work, secrete ozone. This gas is toxic and prone to rapid accumulation in buried premises. Therefore, scientists strongly recommend to abandon the use of ozonizers in everyday life.

Warm the room.

Warm in cold winter is possible with the help of various heaters. Oil models are safe to use and affordable. The convector or heating plate, like the oil cooler, does not burn oxygen. But it can be permanently installed on the wall.

"Heat gun" will quickly warm large rooms, and a ceiling fan will not allow warm air to go up. To save electricity will help infrared heaters. The heat coming from them does not dissipate in the air, but is absorbed by surrounding objects and surfaces. These can be apartment walls, or furniture.

For excessively damp spaces, such as a basement or a room with a swimming pool, an air dehumidifier is useful. It will help to protect from the destructive effect of waterlogged air. The ability of the dehumidifier to cope with its task is measured by the amount of water removed per unit of time (see the technical passport). And the larger the room, the larger this figure should be.

Aromatherapy.

Creating a pleasant atmosphere in the house will be incomplete without enveloping the enchanting smells of summer. With healing aromas, the ancient Romans, Egyptians and Greeks did not part for the rest of their lives. And no wonder - the right combination of aromas affects our physical and emotional state. It also causes a feeling of happiness and peace. The aromas of pine, lemon, juniper, cedar and rosemary will help to feel the surge of energy and extraordinary vivacity. And the smells of sandalwood, cinnamon, fennel, lavender and chamomile - relax and relieve insomnia. Therefore, if you are going to add bright smells to your home, competently select the scents for each room. What is good for the audience may not be suitable for a bedroom.
