Improving indoor air quality is critical in care homes, especially to reduce airborne infections during the colder months when windows and doors are closed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portable HEPA air cleaners can play a valuable role in enhancing the health and safety of residents by minimising respiratory infections, including COVID-19, flu, and other airborne pathogens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Key benefits of portable air cleaners<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Proactive approach for future outbreaks<\/strong>
Care providers in the UK are increasingly turning to air filtration systems to manage ongoing risks from COVID-19 and other infectious diseases, creating safer environments for both staff and residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reduction in airborne viruses and bacteria<\/strong>
HEPA filters are proven to remove 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns and virtually 100% of nano-particles including viruses and bacteria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enhanced ventilation in winter months<\/strong>
Guidance from the UK's Department of Health and Social Care highlights air purifiers as a viable alternative when ventilation options are limited, especially to prevent virus transmission while balancing thermal comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HEPA filtration can reduce pathogens in care homes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Research shows that HEPA filtration in elderly care centres<\/span><\/a> can reduce PM2.5 levels by 35%<\/strong> and cut airborne pathogens by 67%<\/strong>, helping to lower infection rates<\/strong> and create healthier spaces for residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here's how it can make a difference to your care home...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dining rooms have high occupancy rates and proximity to the kitchen resulting in high particulate matter and VOCs (airborne gases). Lounge areas and other shared spaces accumulate CO\u2082 and airborne pathogens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
