airmd-green-air-purifer-controls.jpgAmericans spend 90% of our time indoors and between 80%-90% of most people’s exposure to pesticides occurs indoors.

With statistics like that, why is indoor air quality not a larger concern?

In fact, various studies have shown that indoor air pollution can be 2-5 times worse than the air pollution outside!

Clearly this is a problem more of us could easily remedy. Enter AirMD, "the first and only green air purifier on the U.S. market".

So what makes it so green?

Before we answer that question, let me first tip my hat to the foks over at CNET’s gadget and tech blog, CRAVE, for turning me on to the AirMD.

The American Lung Association says that indoor air pollutants range from asbestos to formaldehyde to mold.

If, like me, you thought that your home was free of such things, formaldehyde, for example, can be found in:

  • adhesives/bonding agents
  • carpets
  • upholstery
  • particle board
  • plywood paneling

What Makes the AirMD So "Green" and Beneficial?
airmd-green-air-purifer-front.jpgindoor-air-quality-bullet.jpgQualified & Safe:
It’s lead-free, EnergyStar qualified and ozone safe

indoor-air-quality-bullet.jpgUses Top Purification Technologies:
HEPA Filter, Ionizer, and long lasting (3-5 years) UV lamp

indoor-air-quality-bullet.jpgProgrammable:
Clock feature lets you program fan speed changes throughout the day

indoor-air-quality-bullet.jpgEfficient:
Best performance up to 400 sq.ft. (means it’ll work in the average American living room, which is 256 50x50-spacer-image.jpgsq ft.).

indoor-air-quality-bullet.jpgAesthetically Sexy:
Light touch activation controls, air vents hidden on sides and back, and translucent outer core with 2 color choices on inner core: white, bamboo green

The AirMD won’t be available until July of this year, and at $499, it’ll actually be quite a bargain. (If you research other purifiers with similar technologies, you’ll discover that one for yourself.)

That said, good quality air purifiers are the last resort on indoor pollution control. The EPA recommends controlling the source of the pollution and utilizing better ventilation practices before investing in the last line of defense that is an air purifier.

What are your favorite tricks for reducing indoor air pollution?

I think every little step toward living green is an awesome one… but eco-snobbery sucks! My goal is to help newbies learn the most important steps toward living green — individually and collectively. Personally, I strive to have as little impact as possible on Planet Earth while I'm here.

JoshuaAs an advocate for good health, I usually try to choose the 'greener' option over other more dangerous and/or wasteful options. Generally, if it's bad for your health or the planet, I try to avoid it. In my effort to live green... on a budget, I like to find new (healthier) budget-friendly ways to do things -- from eating and cleaning to recycling and home decorating. My goal is to help you take the chore out of living green by sharing fun new ecofriendly ideas that you can try today... or any day! My all-time favorite way to live green is to repurpose items and give them a new use -- I've written a lot of useful DIY articles.

LynnetteMy experience with living green consists of taking baby steps (like making one big change each year as my New Year's resolution) -- because I've seen too many people burn out on trying to 'Save the Planet'. I share a lot of Simple Ways To Go Green, as I find new and successful strategies that have worked for me. While I'm baby-stepping my ecofriendly habits in life, you will find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
