Air pollution is the leading cause of all respiratory problems, and indoor air pollution can be just as harmful as outdoor air pollution. Indoor air pollution is caused when too little outside air is allowed to circulate indoors, leading to an accumulation of air pollutants. Constantly breathing this contaminated air can lead to a variety of health risks such as allergies, asthma, heart disease, or even cancer. Common indoor air pollutants include pet dander, mold, dust mites, tobacco smoke, gases, and VOCs. VOCs are chemicals that are found in ordinary household products such as cleaning supplies, air fresheners, and paints. They evaporate into the air during use or during storage, and they can lead to a number of problems, including damage to the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system.
One of the best ways to avoid such health risks is by using an activated carbon air purifier filter. Activated carbon filters are the most absorbent filters available. This is because "activated" carbon, or charcoal treated with oxygen, has tiny pores that absorb tiny particles as small as 0.01 microns. This includes gases, odors, and VOCs. The most efficient carbon filters have a pre-filter with larger pores for trapping larger contaminates such as pollen and dust. This keeps the carbon filter from becoming clogged with larger pollutants, making it a more efficient filter.
This Payne carbon air purifier pre-filter fits air purifier models 31KAX012, 901KAX012, and P101-12. These replacement pre-filters come in an economical 2-pack and should be replaced every 3 months for optimum performance. This pre-filter measures approximately 10 25/32" x 18 1/4" x 3/8". This pre-filter contains activated carbon and specializes in absorbing larger particles such as dust, pollen, and mold. This keeps your filter running smoothly and your breathing environment healthy!
