An air purifier is a device that removes contaminants from indoor air to improve air quality. It filters out pollutants such as pollen, dust, pet dander, mold spores, smoke, paint fumes, and other toxins that can cause respiratory issues or allergies
. What an air purifier does:
- Draws in indoor air and passes it through filters that trap airborne particles and allergens.
- Releases cleaned, purified air back into the room.
- Reduces symptoms for people with allergies, asthma, or respiratory conditions by removing triggers like dust mites and pollen.
- Can also eliminate unpleasant odors and some harmful gases depending on the filter type
How it works:
- Most air purifiers use a fan to pull air through one or more filters.
- Common filters include HEPA filters that capture tiny particles, activated carbon filters that absorb gases and odors, and sometimes UV light or catalytic filters that neutralize bacteria and viruses
- Some models sterilize particles, not just trap them, enhancing air sanitation
Overall, air purifiers help create a cleaner, healthier indoor environment by reducing airborne pollutants that can cause health problems and discomfort
