Specifically, an air
“filter” only filters the air in a room. It uses simple technology –
it catches particles larger than the holes in the filter screen.
Although filtration may be part of the air purification process, it
doesn't use the same method as an air filter.
Instead, it replaces any missing ions and ozone in your room so that
your indoor air resembles fresh outdoor air. Essentially, air
filters are more limited than ionic air purifiers, which offer a lot
of benefits.
Air filters remove particles in the air but fail to rid the air of
biological pollutants and chemical gases emanating from building
materials, paint, carpet, vinyl flooring, furniture, and other
items.
Home air purifiers, on the other hand, replace missing ozone.
Because ozone isn't just present in particles, this is a more
effective method of air cleaning. Ozone can effectively dissipate
chemical and biological pollutants. Some units can even sanitize
bacteria and mold at a high setting in an empty room, which can
really improve indoor air quality. This comes in handy if you want
to sanitize a bedroom or bathroom when it's unoccupied, without
having to use chemicals or get down on your hands and knees to
scrub. In addition, air purifiers in your attic or basement can kill
mold.
Air purifiers have been in use for many years and are a safe way to
clean the air in your home. They can be used in homes, offices, day
care centers, bars, restaurants, hospitals, laboratories, retail
stores, and in many other environments.
With air purifiers you don't have to deal with filters at all.
Because air filters only trap particles bigger in size than the
holes in the filter, smaller particles still pass through. Even
high-tech HEPA filters are limited to particles of .3 microns. This
is quite remarkable, but at the same time, particles much smaller
than .3 microns have the ability to enter human lungs. Ion
replacement, however, works on all sizes of particles.
Air purifiers are also more economical, as you don't have to replace
expensive filters and electricity consumption is kept to a minimum.
If you want to improve your home's indoor air quality, purchasing a
good air purifier may be the perfect solution. |
