The sealed home environment makes people feel at ease, but it also faces the problem of air pollution. The air at home is five to ten times dirtier than the air outside. Americans spend 90% of their time indoors. Therefore, a high-quality air purifier is very important for health.

Buying the right air purifier can be confusing and frustrating. Some air purifiers currently on the market actually pollute the air with harmful levels of ozone, which is a strong lung irritant and is especially dangerous for asthma patients. Read this air purifier buying guide to learn about air purifiers and find a safe and effective device that suits your needs.

Common household air pollutants
Different air purifiers target different pollutants, so it is important to determine the pollutants to be removed from the home before buying an air purifier.

Airborne particles include pet allergens, dust mite allergens, pollen, plant spores, fungi, mold and tobacco smoke. They are the most common causes of indoor allergies and asthma attacks.

HEPA air purifiers are the best way to eliminate allergens in the air.

Household odors and gases include cooking odors, cat litter, tobacco smoke, various toxins and gaseous pollutants, such as indoor pesticides or aerosols. The activated carbon filter is very suitable for adsorbing those gases and odors that are too small to be captured by the HEPA filter.

Volatile organic compounds (VOC) are found in a variety of common household products: paints, varnishes, cleaning supplies, disinfectants, glues and adhesives, and even new carpets and construction supplies. Look for ingredients such as benzene, chloride, formaldehyde, ethylene, and toluene.

VOC can cause the following symptoms: irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headache, nausea, and even severe chronic health conditions such as damage to the nervous system. The presence of VOC can also exacerbate asthma.

Microorganisms include antigens, pathogens, bacteria and viruses. They are the everyday bacteria that make us sick. Mold is also considered a microbe.
Air purifier filter type
Different air purifier filters target different types of air pollution. HEPA air purifiers are the most popular. They are very suitable for eliminating household allergens such as dust, animal dander and pollen, but they are not very good at catching ultra-fine particles such as viruses or eliminating bad smells or chemical fumes.

Since different air purifier technologies have different advantages and disadvantages, many modern air purifiers combine two or more filter types in the same unit.

For example, Austin Air Super Blend Healthmate uses HEPA filters and activated carbon filters to help eliminate odors and smoke. Let's take a closer look at the different types of filters:

HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters set air purification standards. By definition, HEPA filters can remove at least 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.

HEPA air purifiers were originally developed by the Atomic Energy Commission to capture radioactive dust particles. The HEPA filter only allows very small particles to pass through. Allergens such as pollen, animal dander, mold spores, and dust are trapped in the filter.

The main disadvantage of HEPA air purifiers is that you have to replace the filters regularly.

Main advantage: If it is HEPA certified, then you know it is working well. Not all HEPA filters are the same.

Size is important: the more square feet the HEPA filter has, the more particles it can remove. The size, material, and structure of the actual filter media all play a role in the air purifier.

Ionizers and ozone generators generate charged particles (ions) and emit them into the surrounding air. These ions combine with impurities in the air (such as dust), forcing the impurities to adhere to nearby surfaces.

Therefore, ionizers usually create dirty spots on nearby walls and floors because they cannot eliminate impurities; ionizers simply
