What are the different types of air purifiers?

There are several types of air purifiers, including HEPA filters, activated carbon filters, UV light purifiers, and ionizers. Each type has its own method of cleaning the air.

Can you explain how HEPA filters work?

HEPA filters trap particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, and pet dander, using a dense mat of fibers.

What about activated carbon filters?

Activated carbon filters absorb odors and gases by trapping them in the porous structure of the carbon, making them effective for smoke and chemical fumes.

Are there any air purifiers that use UV light?

Yes, UV light purifiers use ultraviolet light to kill bacteria and viruses in the air, providing an additional layer of purification.

Which type of air purifier is best for allergies?

HEPA filters are generally considered the best for allergies, as they effectively capture allergens like pollen and pet dander.
