Different Air Purifiers for different people

There are too many choices for the selection of an air purifier that meets your needs. The key factor is which allergens are you most allergic to and which air purifier is designed to remove that particular allergen? If your primary objective is to clear the air of allergens, you should select an air purifier which can remove the large particles such as dust and pollen with a pre-filter, as well as smaller allergens, which would be particle sizes from 0.3 to 5 microns in size. These smaller allergens include mold, bacteria, animal dander, and house dust mites. A HEPA filter is essential in trapping these type of particles and removing them from the air in your room. However, it is important to note that more than 90% of all particulates are 0.3 of a micron and smaller in size. These smaller particles may include viruses, some bacteria and germs, smoke and smog. For the majority of the people, a HEPA type air purifier capable of removing 90% of the particle size range is the best approach.
