Why Do You Need An Air Purifier？

There are a lot of people who don't understand why we need air purifiers; indoor air quality is far worse than you think. The various bacteria and allergens that permeate the air can lead to your respiratory problems. Excessive PM2.5 values cause your asthma to worsen. Home air purifiers contain HEPA filters to filter airborne pollutants and UV sterilisation to kill airborne bacteria and viruses. The activated carbon filter removes odours from the air and improves the air quality in the house.

As people continue to pay more attention to air quality, many families have started to use air purifiers. The functions of air purifiers are also getting better and better, air quality display, automatic adjustment of air purification, humidifying function air purifier, dehumidifying function air purifier,air purification table and so on. Next, we will introduce how air purifiers work and the benefits of using them.

How Do Air Purifiers Work?

Air purifier shape composition is mainly composed of chassis shell, motor, air duct opening, filter, power supply, LCD display and so on. The motor and fan inside the machine will suck the polluted air into the machine, and through the HEPA filter, all kinds of pollutants will be adsorbed, and then through the UV lamp and negative ion sterilisation, the clean and fresh air will be discharged.

Types of Air Purifiers

Most air purifiers contain HEPA filters, and there are some technologically advanced air purifiers that also have activated carbon, UV, negative ions, etc. that contain a combination of two, or more, filters. In this paragraph we will describe the different types of purification.

HEPA Filter: The main role of HEPA filter is to filter the air 0.3 micron tiny particles. According to international standards, the purification rate is at least 99.97%, which can effectively remove pollutants such as smoke, dust and bacteria.
Activated Carbon Filter: Air purifiers with activated carbon filters mainly filter formaldehyde, TVOC, benzene, and other decorative pollution and household odours, generally using a honeycomb structure.
Ultraviolet Light: These air purifiers with UV irradiation lamps use UV light for sterilisation.
Negative ion Air Purification: Negative ion air purifiers use negative ion generators to improve air quality by releasing negative ions and increasing the concentration of negative ions in the air.

Benefits of an Air Purifier

Reducing the Spread Of Infectious Diseases

As the Earth's environment changes, the emergence of new coronaviruses and other infectious diseases are spread by tiny airborne pathogens. When a person is infected with a virus outside the home, he or she can bring it into the home, resulting in a greater probability of family members becoming infected with the virus. 
Air purifiers with HEPA filters can filter viruses and bacteria from the air, reducing the probability of infectious disease transmission. This is very important for the elderly, children and people with weak immune systems, so air purifiers can effectively reduce illness.

Removal of Harmful Indoor Gases and Odours

In modern society, industrial and everyday materials and products such as paints, solvents, petrol, prints, etc., have volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can cause cancer, miscarriage, foetal malformations and generation retardation with prolonged exposure, and have a very high impact on people such as pregnant women and children. The odor from VOCs can cause nausea, breathlessness.
Activated carbon air purifier can effectively adsorb and remove benzene, formaldehyde, xylene, toluene and other volatile organic compounds. Reduce indoor harmful gases and odours.

Improving Sleep Quality

When the air in your room is full of allergens such as bacteria, fungi and dust mites, this can very much affect the quality of your sleep, with frequent coughing, sneezing and sore throats in the middle of the night preventing you from sleeping.
HEPA air purifiers filter out most allergens during the day and continue to purify the air while you sleep, giving you the best possible sleeping environment. Humidifier air purifiers can help you maintain the humidity of the air in your house. Night ambient light and noise as low as 21dB give you a quiet and comfortable night and can even support wireless mobile phone charging function of the air purifier. It can protect your sleep well.
