Did you know that exposure to garbage odours can make you susceptible to blood infections, muscle disorders and respiratory diseases, such as cancer? Furthermore, within organisations, garbage smells increases the risk of bacterial or viral outbreak within the premises. There are also some other less threatening (but, by no means trivial) effects, like creation of an unpleasant work environment in office, or complaints from neighbouring residents and organisations.

Removal of Garbage Odours

 

Although, a few domestic remedies can be used to lessen the intensity of garbage odours, the best solution is the use of air purifiers.

 

If you do not have an air purifier, you ARE the air purifier.
- Dr. Laura Schlessinger

 

Air purifiers solve the purpose of cleaning and sanitising the air by eliminating the odours and other aerial impurities. It is a simple and convenient way of maintaining and regulating the air quality. These can either be portable, or installed in your office and/or home.


How Do Air Purifiers Work?

 

Air Purifiers use multiple technologies and methodologies to achieve the desired result. There are HEPA Filter air purifiers which use a cloth type filter that can catch up to 99.9% of particles and ozone purifiers, which destroy bacteria and chemicals and is extremely effective for eliminating odours. In addition to these, there are carbon air purifiers that have a unit of small pores which are highly adsorbent and hence, react with the elements that pass through them; ionic purifiers which work on the principle of ionisation and Ultraviolet light air purifiers which is used to disinfect micro-organisms that pass through it.

 

For one of the best air purifying services, you can trust PuraAir. PuraAir system utilises chemical free, eco-friendly ways to reduce or eliminate garbage odours.
