Smoke Air Purifier

If you are a smoker, live with a smoke or work with a smoker then you know how aggravating the smoke can be. You don't want your furniture to turn yellow or your clothing to smell like smoke. Perhaps most importantly you don't want your children to inhale second hand smoke. So you've decided to buy an air purifier to clean the smoke from the air. I'll tell you upfront there is no one best air cleaner for getting rid of smoke. There are many that do a very good job, but which one is the best depends on your unique needs. We'll go through some of the features that you need an air purifier to have in order to clean the smoke out of the air.

There are a lot of different air cleaners on the market so you need to make sure that you're getting the best one for your unique situation. There are certain thing that you must make sure are included in your unit if getting rid of smoke is your goal. The type of filter you select will make a huge difference in the removal of smoke as will the technologies that the air cleaner employs.

The speed of the fan is very important when making your selection. Because smoke can quickly spread around a room and settle into clothing, carpet and furniture having a fan that can filter the air even quicker is essential. What we need to do this is a fan that uses a high power motor. The best way to determine if a particular unit has a powerful motor is to take note of how large a room it can clean. Most air purifiers will have the information about the size of the room is can service somewhere on their box or website. The larger the room, the more powerful the fan. So look for a fan that can clean the air of a room of at least 1000 sq feet.
A HEPA filter is essential for removing smoke from the air. A HEPA filter equipped air purifier will effectively remove smoke particles from the air. Other filters may not be able to remove particles as small as smoke, make sure it is a real HEPA.

A carbon filter should also be included. It will look like a thin sheet of rough black fiber. It is placed in front of the HEPA filter. This serves two purposes. It gets rid of the smell of smoke and filter out the large particles before they enter the HEPA filter.

The location of the air cleaner will determine how effectively is can clean. You should place your unit near where you often smoke. There should be no walls or furniture near the device. It is important that nothing block the intake vents. If possible, try and place he air purifier in a central location so that the air from the entire room can reach it. It is best to place the unit off the floor it will do a much better job if it is on a table or counter.

There are some thing to avoid when making your choice. Stay away from air purifiers with ionizers. Ionizers will release ozone gas into your home. This gas can cause lung damage when inhaled. There is no good in removing smoke while releasing ozone. A filter and a fan are all you need to get rid of smoke.

When you buy an air purifier make sure that it is rated to clean a room of at least 1000 sq feet. Look for one that has a carbon filter and a HEPA filter. Stay away from ionizers, they can do harm. Keep your finances in mind, there are some good deals out there if your willing to look. If you keep all of these factors in mind then you should find a great air purifier for removing smoke.

What is the Best Air Purifier

You know you want an air purifier, but you don't know which one to buy. Choosing the best air purifier for your situation is very important. You need to know which features you need and which you don't. We'll go through some important aspects of choosing a good air purifier.


The type of air filter that will be in your air purifier is very important. A HEPA filter is the best choice. HEPA filters have the highest capture rate of any air filter and can capture particles as small as 0.3 microns.


Noise is another important factor. Everyone wants a quiet air purifier. Before you buy an air cleaner read some reviews to get a sense of how quiet it will be.


A good air purifier will be able to filter air for a large room. If you do not have a large room then a small personal air purifier may be sufficient. Do research to find out how powerful your air purifier needs to be.


A good air purifier will come with a carbon pre-filter. The is pre-filter will reduce odours and prolong the life of your air filter. High end air purifiers can also include a nano-silver pre-filter to trap and large particles of dust that are sucked in.


Some air purifiers can reduce the transmission of a virus. This is something to consider if you have children or are in an environment with sick people. If you are not in a situation where virus transmission is a problem then you may not need virus reduction technology. If you do have this problem then a virus reducing air purifier may be perfect for you.


Speed is an important factor The faster the air purifier can move the air, the more particles is can remove. You want to choose an air purifier that has variable speeds. You also want one that has a high top speed. A fast air purifier with a HEPA filter will be most effective.


Size and shape are important considerations. You need to make sure you have a place to put your air purifier. The best place for an air purifier is an open space so the air can circulate freely.


When making your decision you need to consider size, speed, filters and noise. Know what air purifier you need and go get it!

Air Ionizer

An air ionizer is a device that creates electrically charged particles.
These particles then bond with dust, dander, mold, smoke bacteria and
other airborne pollutants. These particles then become too heavy to float
and fall to the ground. When they fall to the ground they can no longer
be inhaled by the people in the room.

Ionisers are generally quiet and do not require regular replacement ofparts or cleaning.

Air ionizers produce Ozone. Ozone helps keep the air healthy by breaking
down pollution. If someone breathes concentrations of 0.1 ppm of Ozone
for prolonged periods of time the lungs can be damaged. Air Ionizers do
not produce nearly enough Ozone to reach this level.
