As established by the United States EPA, in the last several years, a growing body of scientific evidence has indicated that the air within homes and other buildings can be more seriously polluted than the outdoor air in even the largest and most industrialized cities.

Other research indicates that people spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors. Thus, for many people, the risks to health may be greater due to exposure to air pollution indoors than outdoors.

To help create a healthier indoor environment use the Germ Guardian™ Hygia™ 6.0 - Complete Air Cleansing System™. The Hygia™ 6.0 offers six stages of air filtration that helps purify the air in your home while destroying germs and odors.

A dust sensor analyzes the air quality in your home by detecting dust, smoke, pollens and small particles and automatically adjusts to provide an optimal level of purification.

The six layers of filtration in the Hygia 6.0 include:

1. Pre-filter- for larger particles like pet hair and lint
2. Charcoal filter- removes odors, including smoke
3. HEPA filter- captures 99.9% of allergens
4. PCO filter- destroys micro-organisms such as bacteria and mold
5. UV light tube
6. Ionizer- emits negative ions (small amount) to enhance the cleaning process.
