WHAT CAN I DO FOR MY ALLERGY? OTHER FILTER SYSTEMS
For an office building or work environment, you can build in air filters, either in air conditioning systems, or into individual rooms. Consult an architect or air conditioning engineer. Air Improvement Centre and Beta-Plus can also advise on systems for workplaces.
Icleen produce filters that fit or stand over heaters or radiators. They work by filtering out particles or fumes in the air rising up from the heaters. The filters are constructed of a fabric web in a metal frame. They only function when a heater is working, but they use no electricity, make no noise and are particularly effective against particles circulating in convection currents. The filter frames can be adapted to use for storage heaters, convectors, and desktop use, such as computers. They can be wall-mounted or free-standing, and are not conspicuous.
These niters are less effective than an air filter that recirculates room atmosphere constantly, and they may have limited effectiveness against chemicals. But their other advantages may outweigh these drawbacks, and reports have said that they do make some difference. Current prices quoted are £35 per metre fitted. Replacement fabric filters cost £10 per metre – renewable once or twice a year, dependent on use.
