A Guide To Room Air Cleaners

By Jill Faulkner


The truth is that the room air cleaners purify the surrounding where they are used. However, it does not mean that everyone can benefit from them. Many people use the purifiers as a method to reduce the pollution and the allergens in the home.

Several individuals do not agree that these purifiers help enough to get rid of impurities in the atmosphere. The good and durable air cleaners that work well cost a lot and can only be bought from specific shops. Should you opt for the cheaper options you might get disappointed.

Every single purifier has got metal plates that help the machine to electrostatically charge and work efficiently. In order to make the air circulation frequent, the filter or cleaner is placed in a specific location.

If the air passes on the charged plates: spores, dust and other debris are captured on the electronic charge. This is done in the same way as the statically charged comb attracts salts. This means that the air that comes out of the purifier will be cleaner.

As some of the particles that could cause allergy and some of the germs are heavy and have no capability to float, it means they remain on the ground and do not pass the electrostatic plates and hence, they are not purified. Similarly, there are times when allergens are taken out of the atmosphere but the purifier drops them on items present inside the room. Therefore, make sure the plates are nice and clean all the time to improve the working of the cleaner.

The new cleaners are quite advanced than the old ones as they comprise of motorized fans. They work in a mechanical way to purify the atmosphere which means the allergy causing particles keep on circulating in the environment and don't fall away in the room. HEPA filtration also known as High Efficiency Particulate Arrestor is the best so buy a purifier that includes HEPA.

However, these purifiers also produce heavy oxygen gas called ozone. If the ozone is in the air, it will serve as the protective layer since it protects against the solar radiation. However, if the ozone is confined in one place, then it can lead to many serious problems.

Ozone is produced only in those filters that use the electric plates. This suggests that although the atmosphere is being purified but it comes at a high risk to human health which is not positive at all. So, before going out to buy such product, one should be sure whether it will produce the ozone to a harmful level or not.

One should know that room air cleaners are built in a way that they can work either in a single room or they can be quite functional and work for the whole house. Some of the cleaners require regular filter changing in order to function properly. Make sure you are aware of overall cost of firstly buying the product and then maintaining it throughout its lifetime.
