Do Air Purifiers Work?
The Environmental Protection Agency warns us that indoor air is on average 5 times more polluted than outdoor air. We spend 90% of our lives indoors, unprotected against air contaminants. Nothing makes us happier than hearing our customers say how air purifiers have greatly improved their lives. For many, it takes less than 48 hours to see a reduction in dust, relief from allergy symptoms and improved sleep. Others are shocked when they see their air purifier filters loaded with microscopic particles they didn't know they were breathing.
Among common air purifier types, only one truly works. After years of testing and collecting thousands of customer reviews, in our air purifier buying guide we only recommend high efficiency HEPA air purifiers (High Efficiency Particulate Air) — the safest and most effective air purification technology.
| AIR PURIFIER TYPE | BRANDS | EXPLANATION | EFFECTIVENESS |
|---|---|---|---|
 HEPA Air Purifiers |
High efficiency HEPA air purifiers effectively capture airborne particles. The percent of particles captured is the highest of any air purification technology available. | Highest Effectiveness
|
|
 Electrostatic Precipitators |
|
Particles are charged and then stick to oppositely charged metal plates within the air purifier. | Minimal Effectiveness
|
| Ozone Generators |
|
Not safe and effective at removing pollutants. By design, they produce ozone, a lung irritant that can cause adverse health effects. | Not Effective
|
Complementary Air Purifier Technology
In addition to HEPA air purifier technology, there are complementary air purifier and filter technologies that can be used to effectively eliminate odors, bacteria, viruses, VOCs, and chemicals in your air.
- Activated Carbon: Effective at removing unpleasant odors, gases, and chemicals in the air. Particles become attracted to, and then trapped within tiny pores in the activated carbon.
- UV Light: Kills airborne germs, bacteria and viruses by damaging the bacteria and virus’ DNA & molecular structure.
- Silver Ion Microbial Prevention Filter: Silver-infused filters capture and kill airborne microbes. Silver is a natural anti-bacterial.
- Ionizer: Helps remove pollen, bacteria, odors, and chemicals in the air. An ionic-only unit provides inadequate filtration. Ionizers are added to HEPA units to improve their performance but should not be used as the sole method of filtration.
- Photo-Catalytic Oxidation (PCO): Destroys gaseous pollutants by converting them into harmless products by the use of UV light and a catalyst (Titanium Oxide).
- Pre-Filter: Captures large particles (hair, large dust particles) to extend the life of your air purifier filter.
