Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a contagious virus that causes infections in the respiratory tract. It is common among infants, young children, and older adults, often leading to symptoms like coughing, sneezing, and difficulty breathing. Severe cases may result in pneumonia or bronchiolitis, especially in vulnerable individuals.
Using devices like a
Honeywell air purifier can improve indoor air quality, reducing the risk of respiratory infections like RSV.
Understanding RSV: symptoms and risks
Symptoms of RSV
- Runny nose and nasal congestion.
- Fever and coughing.
- Wheezing and difficulty breathing.
- Decreased appetite or fatigue.
Risks of RSV
- Infants under 6 months and premature babies are at higher risk.
- Older adults, especially those with underlying health conditions, are vulnerable.
- RSV can lead to severe complications like pneumonia or bronchiolitis.
For better protection at home, consider using air purifiers like a
Voltas air purifier or a
Xiaomi air purifier, which help maintain cleaner indoor air.
The science behind airborne virus transmission
Airborne viruses like RSV spread through respiratory droplets, which remain suspended in the air or settle on surfaces. When an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, tiny droplets containing the virus are released. These droplets can be inhaled by others, leading to transmission.
Air purifiers with HEPA filter effectively reduce airborne particles, including viruses and allergens. By capturing particles as small as 0.3 microns, HEPA filters improve air quality and minimise the spread of viruses. Activated carbon filters complement this by removing odours and harmful gases.
Air purifiers help prevent RSV transmission
How air purifiers reduce virus transmission
- Air purifiers with HEPA filters capture airborne particles, including viruses.
- Carbon filters eliminate harmful gases and improve air freshness.
- Regular use reduces indoor pollutants that may trigger respiratory illnesses.
Options like
Philips air purifiers combine HEPA and carbon filters for comprehensive air cleaning.
Smart features in modern air purifiers ensure cleaner and healthier indoor environments.
Tips to reduce RSV risk at home
- Wash hands frequently with soap and water.
- Clean and disinfect commonly touched surfaces like doorknobs and toys.
- Use a humidifier to maintain optimal indoor air moisture levels.
- Ensure good ventilation by opening windows or using air purifiers with HEPA filters.
- Avoid contact with sick individuals, especially for high-risk family members.
Studies show that maintaining clean indoor air with devices like a
HEPA air purifier can lower the risk of respiratory illnesses. Coupled with good hygiene and ventilation, air purifiers are a vital tool in reducing RSV transmission.
