The fine preliminary filter neutralizes airborne bacteria, fungi, mold, and dander from pets.  The true HEPA traps, pollen, dust mites, and large particles.  And the activated carbon filter neutralizes smoke from cigarette, odors from pets, and household odors such as cooking smells.  You do not need to waste money on buying air fresheners. 

PROBLEMS WITH AIR POLLUTION

Research from MIT shows that air pollution causes about 200,000 early deaths a year in the U.S.  In addition, there are negative effects such as pre term births, autism, and asthma for the children of pregnant mothers.  Some of the problems may arise from breathing in household cleaning products and poor indoor air circulation.  For these reasons, buying an air purifier makes perfect sense.


WHAT TO AVOID

"Ionizers" are popular types of purifiers on the market but the downsides may outweigh the benefits.  Allergens, dust, and airborne particles that are positively charged are trapped by the negative air ions that are generated by the Ionizers.  One problem is that it may not work well in large spaces.  It is only good for smaller spaces.  But a much larger problem is that it may produce ozones which is bad in an indoor environment.

Electrostatic reactions produce oxygen molecules called ozones.  Low concentrations of this molecule may not cause harm.  However, at higher concentrations, it may cause problems such as damage to your lungs and respiratory tissues.  Some of the devices may produce a lot of ozone which can damage your health.  So what is the solution to this problem?

LEVOIT'S LV-H132

For the reasons stated above, you are better off purchasing a device that draws air through a filter that holds pollutants and harmful particles.  HEPA, or high efficiency particulate air, is a type of filter that accomplishes this task.  99.9% of particle above a certain size are removed by this filter.

One of the best devices with replaceable HEPA filters is the LV-H132 by Levoit.  And it is 100% ozone free.  You do not have to worry about the negative consequences of Ionizers.  It is a good idea to keep it where you spend most of your time or in your bedroom and leave it on day and night to increase its effectiveness.  It can help clean your indoor air from things that cause or worsen allergies and asthma.
