Effective Allergen Air Purifier


If you need the most efficient air cleaner to remove allergy and asthma triggers from your indoor air, you need a unit that can remove particles efficiently as well as gases, odors, and chemicals.

Common indoor particulate triggers include household dust which is usually a combination of dust mites, mold and mildew spores, atmospheric dust and dirt, pet dander and hair, and bacteria and viruses.

Gaseous pollutants in your space often include smoke from cooking or tobacco products, exhaust fumes, and chemicals that off-gas from furniture, as well as personal and cleaning products.

Particles are best removed by a type of filter called a high efficiency particle arresting filter. Often abbreviated as HEPA, it is designed to remove 99,997 out of every 10,000 airborne particles that are .3 microns or greater in size. This covers virtually all of the particulates mentioned above.

The unit should also contain filters that can trap particles that are way bigger than .3 microns so that the HEPA is only used to filter microscopic particles. The filters that act as the first line of defense are known as pre-filters and are made of a cotton-ball like fabric.

Having pre-filters in a unit will increase the filter life of the HEPA. And the pre-filter can generally be replaced for under $50.

For gaseous pollutants carbon is well known for its ability to remove chemicals. Straight carbon is only good for gaseous pollutants. And for allergies, the more filters for particle removal the better. So the best of both worlds would be a particle-removing filter made of carbon.

Carbon cloth in a purifier offers the best of both worlds. Because it is made of carbon it is excellent at removing gases, odors, and noxious chemicals. But because it is woven like a cloth, it gives additional protection from particles.
