So you're thinking about investing in an air purifier for your home. Perhaps you're worried about allergens, mold, wildfire smoke, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), or weird smells in your house. Maybe now that you've done a bunch of other work to "clean up" your body and environment—eliminating oxidized seed oils, swapping out your personal care products, getting that reverse osmosis system to filter your water—the next logical step is making sure you're breathing the cleanest air possible. You go to the store and get hit with sticker shock when you see small units for going upwards of a thousand dollars or more. Are air purifiers really worth the price, you wonder? Sure, they might be worth it if they work as advertised, but that's if they work. The good news is that home air purifiers do a pretty good job churning out cleaner air, provided you select the right one. They have some cons, though, too: Air purifiers can be expensive and noisy. They require regular maintenance to work properly. They won't completely purify the air in your home, especially if you choose the wrong device. Not everyone needs an air purifier, but it's definitely worth considering, especially if you live some place with poor air quality or you have respiratory issues. Before whipping out your credit card, here's what you need to know about selecting the best one for you. How Do Air Purifiers Work? There are many types of air filters and air cleaners, from big industrial units to the filtration systems built into your home's HVAC to portable air purifiers you can place around your home. The latter are what we're covering today. Air purifiers can roughly be divided into two categories: Mechanical air purifiers use filters to remove particulates from the air, including dust, pet dander, pollen, mold and fungal spores, and potentially even some microbes like viruses. These filters trap and hold the particles, preventing them from returning to circulation. Electronic air purifiers—ionizers and electrostatic precipitators—electrically charge particles, which causes them to attach to surfaces so they are no longer floating around in the air for you to inhale. Some electronic air purifiers include collection plates to attract the charged particles, while others send them back into the room to stick to walls, furniture, or floors. Both technologies remove physical particles from the air, not gases like VOCs. VOCs are chemicals that are emitted by a wide variety of items you already have in your home, such as paints, glues, cleaning products, cosmetics, carpet, upholstery, and more. These chemicals have been linked to both acute and long-term health issues. Activated carbon filters can absorb gases and reduce odors. Some air purifiers will also use ultraviolet (UV) lights to kill living organisms like viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Heavy-duty units in hospitals often use a combination of mechanical filters and UV lights, but they're also available for home use. Air Purifier Benefits and Limitations Air purifiers have been extensively tested and mostly proven effective for removing potentially harmful … Continue reading "Do Air Purifiers Work?"
