What Does an Air Purifier Do?
Air purifiers work via filtration systems, such as high-efficiency particulate air filters. Made from dense, mesh-like materials, HEPA filters easily capture all sorts of debris and allergens floating in the air, including pollen, pet dander, dust and mold spores. Air purifiers pull air inside the unit, then pass it through the filters, which in turn, trap and store the particulates, so they don’t return to the environment. By trapping those particulates, air purifiers decrease the number of airborne pollutants in your space, improving indoor air quality and quality of life for those with allergy and sinus issues.
Do Air Purifiers Help With Dust?
Air purifiers for home use remove dust particles from the air, which keeps them off surfaces, such as tables, and reduces allergies and respiratory issues. Dust removal is important for those with allergies and sensitivities because breathing in air, which contains suspended dust, can introduce substances, such as pollen, pet dander, dead skin cells and even tiny fibers, into the body. This, in turn, may trigger allergic attacks, make asthma worse and cause long-term respiratory issues. Air purifiers for allergies usually remove dust particles as small as 0.3 microns at efficiency levels of at least 99%, which prevents them from reentering the room.
