Read further to learn about the costs involved and the benefits of an air scrubber.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Is an Air Scrubber Worth the Money?<\/h2>\n<p>For those returning to their workplace, but also for those working from remote home offices, poor air quality can negatively impact your health. \u00a0Without an air purification system, your home\u2019s air system may circulate allergens, bacteria, and viruses that go unseen (and unnoticed until it\u2019s too late).<\/p>\n<p>Some cleaning products merely cover up odors and fail to eliminate contaminants. While other cleaning products are effective in decreasing the risk of bacteria and viruses, they can often exacerbate asthma with their odorous fumes. Reportedly, the direct cost of asthma, per patient, is nearly $3,300 a year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajmc.com\/view\/cdc-study-puts-economic-burden-of-asthma-at-more-than-80-billion-per-year\">according to one CDC report<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Air Scrubber by Aerus is 99.99% effective on airborne contaminants.\u00a0 The one-time cost is less than $1,000. Moreover, it can eliminate odors throughout your home or office, including pet odors.<\/p>\n<h2>Do Air Scrubbers Help With Viruses?<\/h2>\n<p>The Aerus Air Scrubber uses<a href=\"https:\/\/www.activepure.com\/\"> ActivePure<\/a> technology.
