dust and Mites – Allergens in every household

Avoiding mite allergens is very difficult. A single gram of house dust can contain up to 4,000 mites. These tiny animals feed on biological debris such as the dander and hair of humans and pets. The excrement excreted by the mites also accumulates in the dust and passes over fine dust particles in the air in our breathing. Mite droppings can irritate the immune system in some people and trigger the symptoms of mite allergy or house dust allergy.

With warm temperatures from 25 degrees Celsius and high humidity, mites find perfect conditions. That is why the pests multiply very strongly, especially in summer. They particularly like to settle in the textile fabric of bed covers, mattresses, upholstered furniture, carpets or curtains. For example, if you shake out a duvet or draw a curtain, the finest dust particles are whirled up and inhaled by you. A powerful air purifier catches the dust again in a very short time .

Checklist – what must the air purifier be able to do against dust?

With it an air purifier reliable remedy against dust and mite allergies the device must be able to intercept the finest suspended particles in the air.

When buying an air purifier against your mite allergy, you should therefore pay attention to some important key data of the device:

• Is there a HEPA filter? Good air purifiers usually have pre-filters for coarse particles and HEPA filters for fine suspended particles. Some allergens also float through the air as microscopic aerosols that can even pass through HEPA filters. In order to be protected from these pests in the event of a strong mite allergy, an additional activated carbon filter is recommended. Some models also use photocatalytic filters that are able to kill viruses and bacteria.
• How quickly does the air exchange take place? In order to keep the concentration of dust and pollutants to a minimum, the room air must be constantly changed. Ideally, the device completely replaces the air twice an hour. However, there are also models that filter all of the room air up to five times an hour.
• How quietly does the air purifier run? The device should run as quietly as possible during operation. If the air purifier is set up in the bedroom, for example, a device designed for larger square meters is recommended. This can then work particularly quietly with a low running number.
