Air Purifiers
Air purifiers are devices designed to remove pollutants from the air in a room. They draw air in through various filters and trap particles such as dust, pollen, pet dander and harmful substances such as smoke and volatile organic compounds. The purified air is recirculated back into the room, creating a cleaner and healthier environment.
The main components of air purifiers:
- Surface filters: filter out larger particles such as dust and hair, extending the life of the main filter.
- HEPA Filters: High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters catch 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, including pollen, pet dander and mould spores.
- Activated carbon filters absorb odours and gases, including smoke and volatile organic compounds, providing relief from unpleasant smells and harmful chemicals.
- UV-C light: Some models use ultraviolet light to destroy bacteria and viruses, providing extra protection.
Key benefits of air purifiers:
- Improved air quality: effectively removes airborne pollutants, providing cleaner and fresher air.
- Allergy reduction: Reduces allergens such as pollen, pet dander and dust mites, helping to reduce allergy symptoms.
- Eliminates odours: Absorbs and neutralises odours from pets, cooking, smoke and other sources.
- Health protection: Catches harmful particles including bacteria, viruses and volatile organic compounds, promoting respiratory health.
- Sleep better: Cleaner air can improve sleep quality by reducing irritation and respiratory problems.
