Air Purifier Buying Guide | Things to Consider Before Buying an Air Purifier

Many pollutants such as dust mites, molds, pet dander, tobacco smoke, wood burning smoke, different gases and building materials are responsible for making the air around us filthy enough to give us severe diseases of the lungs, respiratory system, heart, blood circulation, and other body organs.

Not only this, but the fine and very minute particles present in the diameter can enter our lungs and can be a cause of severe asthma attacks, bronchitis, impaired lungs, and premature death.

Some Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) spread into the air from paints and cleaning products. These VOCs can cause nose, throat, eye, and skin irritation. They are also the reason for headaches, nausea, and damage to the liver, kidneys, and nervous system. Other gases such as radon can cause lung cancer and painful death.

But all of these toxicants can be removed from your surroundings simply with the help of air purifiers. This article is all about air purifiers, choosing the best ones in the market, and the features of modern air purifiers.

How to choose an Air Purifier according to your room size?

A suitable air purifier for your room is checked by seeing "air changes per hour." These matrices are mentioned in the features of the purifier. For example, a smaller air purifier can turn over a 350 square-feet room eight times in an hour, and with a 700 square-feet room it turns over just four air changes per hour. This means the smaller the area, the more quickly you can get your surroundings purified.

For example, CADR of 400 pollen means that the air purifier can reduce the pollen concentration which is equivalent to adding 400 cubic feet of fresh air per minute
