An Inside Look Into the Miraculous Air Purifier

Air purifiers are basically devices that are design to 'purify' the air we breathe through a special filtration system that separates and traps the pollutants in the air.
Though they appear to be simple devices, it's far from the truth.
In fact, the very design of a simple air purifier involves many concepts and theories proven medically and scientifically.
For example, a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter that is installed in most air purifiers, is a complicated randomly arranged filter that filters up to 0.
3 micrometer of airborne particles.
This is made possible through complicated calculations and theories such as interception and diffusion.
Particles such as pollens and spores which can cause asthma and allergies are caught in between the fibred nets then easily removed for washing and maintenance.
The complex nature of the air purifier is shown even more in the newer types of air purifiers that are available in the market today.
Filter-based air purifiers, air purifiers with activated carbon, photo catalytic oxidation systems, ionizer-based purifiers, and ozone generators each have their own pros and cons.
Some are useful to prevent asthma attacks or allergy reactions and some are even going to the extent of creating a serene surrounding through the release of negative ions.
From removing pollutants and airborne particles, to oxidizing odors and 'zapping' pollutants with ionized air, air purifiers have come a long way since their humble beginning from a simple filtration system.
With newer technology and concepts being introduced into the field of air purification, we can now expect even greater and more efficient ways to enjoy cleaner and healthier air.
