Carbon filters are for reducing odours, while water they drink, are turning to a UV filters are good for killing germs. Multi-functional ones like the photocatalytic plethora of cleansing solutions filters break down chemical particles into harmless substances, while the ozone that is emitted in the process also kills airborne organisms. However, some to improve living quality at people may develop allergic respiratory reactions from prolonged exposure home. If you’re thinking of doing to ozone. the same, here are some facts to help you differentiate the In a different category is the ionic air purifier, which charges ambient air to artificially produce sweet, fresh smelling air. Some hospitals in the United filters from the ionisers. Kingdom use it to remove air dust and pathogens from intensive care units. The magic lies in the negatively charged ions that give air a static-like quality, attracting dust and microbes together to form bigger particles that are collected in the machine’s chamber. Ozone is also produced in the process, and it helps to disinfect the air. The downside is that negative ions continue circulating the room outside the unit, causing the dust particles to stick to floors and walls, which then require regular cleaning.

A recommended option is the high-efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA), commonly used in factory clean rooms and hospitals; today downsized for the home. It works by forcing air through an ultra-fine fibre mesh, trapping over 99% of unhealthy particles. HEPA is good as an allergy buster as it can sieve out minute particles as tiny as 0.3 micron.

Did you know? A micron is one micrometre, or one millionth of a metre. As a rough gauge, pollen is 5 to 10 microns while a speck of dust mite dropping is about 0.3 micron. The unhealthiest range is 0.3 to 0.9 micron as these particles are easily inhaled but difficult to expel, causing allergic reactions.

The membrane requires regular cleaning or replacement as it can be ineffective with trapped contaminants.
