When it comes to allergies, it's essential to pick the right air filter to reduce your suffering. To guarantee that the filter is effective, check that it has a Clean Air Supply Rate (CADR) that matches the size of the room in which you plan to use it. Air purifiers cannot remove larger allergens, such as dust mites and pet hair, unless they are redistributed in the air. Vacuuming with a HEPA-certified filter once or twice a week can help clean floors and furniture.
We suggest placing the air purifier in the rooms where you spend most of your time, usually in the bedroom. We researched the most popular air purifiers on the market and evaluated each one based on factors such as filtration capacity, noise and value. Studies on room air purifiers show that very fine-mesh HEPA filters, certified to collect 99.97 percent of particles of a certain hard-to-capture size (0.3 micrometers in diameter), can be very effective in eliminating many of the most common household irritants. CR does not recommend using an air purifier with PCO, as this can result in dangerous indoor air quality. Whether an air purifier has a replaceable HEPA filter, a permanent filter, or a combination of both, it needs regular maintenance.
The Blueair 411 can quickly filter 161 square foot rooms, making it a good choice for a bedroom purifier. When investing in air conditioning system maintenance, your equipment is cleaned and also adjusted, so you'll not only get cleaner air, but also better performance, more consistent comfort and fewer breakdowns. Using an air purifier to filter airborne allergens is one way to help control indoor allergen exposure. Two technologies guarantee the removal of at least 99.97% of airborne particles, down to 0.1 microns², so that even the smallest particles, such as viruses and bacteria, are captured, and larger particles, such as dust, pollen and smoke, are also removed. Selecting an air purifier with a particulate filter medium or a combination of particles and carbon ensures that the filter can do its job.
