When most people think about air purifiers, they think about the machines that are popularly used to remove airborne contaminants from the home. Thousands of people use Certified HEPA Material air purifiers to improve their indoor air quality, and to take advantage of the many great health benefits that goes along with doing that. However, Certified HEPA Material air filters were initially developed to remove radioactive particles from the air during the Manhattan Project in the 1940s. In recent years, Austin air purifiers have been used by the United States government to protect citizens from the dangers of nerve gas – and in the aftermath of horrifying tragedies.

Clearing the Air after 9/11

September 11, 2001 was a day that will truly live on in infamy; terrorists crashed planes into the Pentagon, a field in Pennsylvania and, most famously, the World Trade Center in New York City – also known as the Twin Towers. When those two towers fell, plumes of dust, debris and other contaminants choked the air for days after. The U.S. Government, including FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency) scrambled for an easy, efficient way to keep the air clean for rescuers and other workers after the collapse. Ultimately, they turned to Austin air purifiers.

In addition to coming to the aid of rescue workers and others after the attacks on the World Trade Center buildings, Austin Air also helped area residents avoid inhaling the dangerous particles that hung in the air for weeks after the tragedy. Austin air purifiers were the product of choice for thousands of Manhattan residents after 9/11. These machines were used in countless homes and apartments to pull up to 99.97% of pollutants from the air, making it healthy and safe to breathe. On top of that, many people who used Austin Air purifiers enjoyed exceptional allergy and asthma relief at the same time.

Austin Air Purifiers: Used by the U.S. Government

When the United States government set out to destroy stockpiles of deadly gases – including sarin and mustard gas – residents of an Alabama town were understandably concerned. After all, that incineration could introduce many toxic chemicals into the air that they and their family members breathed. In response, the U.S. government chose to use Austin air purifiers to keep citizens safe and free from breathing in the harmful byproducts of the incineration.

Austin air purifiers are designed with top quality Certified HEPA Material air filter technology. On top of that, all models feature an activated carbon filter to remove additional harmful and toxic vapors from the air. When the government needed an efficient, effective and proven way of keeping citizens safe during this process, they turned to Austin Air and it’s high quality Certified HEPA Material air purifier. Few products can boast such an excellent endorsement; if it’s good enough for the U.S. government, it should be good enough for practically anyone. As expected, sales of this item soared after all was said and done.

Healthmate Certified HEPA Material Air Purifier: Government Tested

The Austin Healthmate Certified HEPA Material air purifier was also researched by the U.S. government and deemed capable of handling many different types of biological threats. The machine – an HM400 – was tested within sealed rooms and the results were extraordinary. Levels of harmful vapors in the rooms used in the study were reduced by an incredible 90% in only 35 minutes. The machine was proven to be quick, efficient and more than capable of providing clean, breathable air. It stood up to the government’s rigorous standards, highlighting why Austin Air is such a top quality brand.
