A Guide To Room Air Cleaners

By Jill Faulkner


Wherever they are placed, room air cleaners help to effectively run the process of purifying atmosphere. But not everyone is able to take advantage of them in an effective manner. There are lots of germs and allergens present inside the house and the purifier helps in order to reduce them.

It is a wrong assumption that they do not work effectively in order to clean the atmosphere. Those that work accordingly also cost more and they need to be bought from specialist stores. Because the low priced ones are not as effective ass they should be.

Even if these purifiers work in different ways, they have a common purification method because they all use electrostatic charge on the metal plates. The entire unit is normally placed on the inconspicuous location so that the air can circulate in it.

The electronic charge can be covered with dust, debris or spores if the charged plates catch the air. It is quite similar to how the salt is attracted by the statically charged comb. This shows that the purifier enables fresh and clean air to pass through.

However, many allergens are too heavy to float in the atmosphere. The germs and allergens stay on the ground or on other surface and they do not reach to the electrostatic plates so that they can be purified. Sometimes the allergens that go through the plates can be removed from the atmosphere but to be dropped in clothing, furniture or carpets. It is important to remove the plates regularly so that they can be cleaned. However, this means that the users will also be more exposed to bacteria and allergens.

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.

Ozone is a very strong oxygen gas and it is an unfortunate thing that it is produced by several air purifiers. But as long as the ozone remains afloat it acts as a bodyguard against solar radiation and no harm is caused to an individual's health. If the ozone is settled into one particular place, it might cause a bit of hindrance.

No matter whether you buy a cheap purifier or an expensive one, the ozone is produced by electric plates as a process. It indicates that even if these devices work in order to purify an individual's surroundings, there is still a slight risk of people suffering from poisoning of ozone layer. So, before going out to buy this product, do a little bit of research and find out which product or brand is most effective against the formation of ozone layer.

These kinds of purifiers can be designed to work in one room or in the entire home. While considering the cost of the room air cleaners, you have also to consider the maintenance cost since some of these purifiers require you to change their filters on regular basis.
