Air purifiers are appliances that clean the air in our homes by getting rid of pollutants. According to medical research, indoor air can sometimes have more contaminants compared to outdoor air.
Most air purifiers are designed with multiple filters with a fan that circulates the air. Pollutants are captured as it moves through the filters and clean air is blown out. The filters need to be replaced regularly and they are usually made out of fiberglass, mesh, and paper.
Gases and odors are part and parcel of living in a modern household, from using a can of hairspray to painting the walls of an old room we inadvertently expose ourselves to a multitude of harmful chemicals that merge with the indoor air we breathe. Fortunately air purification technology exists to eliminate and reduce the harmful effects of these chemical by-products.
Ozone is both a naturally occurring and man-made gas that can be found in the ground level atmosphere we breathe. Exposure to high concentrations of ozone has been known to cause breathing complications and other respiratory problems specially in children and infants. Knowing the common sources of indoor ozone and how it's created is important in keeping your indoor air free from this harmful gas.
