A Harvard-led study recently proved that American Standard AccuClean™ removes
over 99% of the common flu, or influenza A virus, from the filtered air in
your home.
Influenza viruses are spread from person-to-person in respiratory droplets of
coughs or sneezes. So AccuClean’s™ ability to reduce the average airborne
concentration of the virus in your home’s re-circulated air makes it a very
effective flu defense researchers concluded.
In addition to installing AccuClean™, which has the highest clean air delivery
rate in the industry, here are more ways to fight the flu based on tips from
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
Avoid close contact with sick people. Keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick, too. Stay home when you’re sick. If possible, stay home from work or school and avoid running errands when you’re sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing; it may prevent those around you from getting sick. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose or mouth. Practice other good health habits. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids and eat nutritious food.

During flu season and throughout the year families are exposed to viruses that
circulate in the air they breathe indoors, so taking every measure to prevent
illness makes good sense.
