When it comes to keeping the air in your home healthy and safe, air purifiers are essential. But how do air purifiers work, and how do you know which one is best for your needs? Here, we’ll go over the science of air purification and how air cleaners work to keep your indoor air free of allergens, dust, and other pollutants.
At the most basic level, air purifiers use fans to draw air in, then pass it through a series of filters that trap and remove impurities. The air is then exhausted back into the room, free of pollutants.

Different types of air purifiers employ various technologies, but the basic principles remain the same.
One type of air purifier uses a mechanical filter to trap particles such as dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke. These filters can be disposable or reusable, and they need to be replaced or cleaned regularly to keep them working properly.

Another type of air purifier, an electronic air cleaner, uses an ionizing charge to trap and remove particles from the air. When air is passed through the air cleaner, the particles are attracted to the charged plates or grids and are then removed from the air.

Finally, some air purifiers use ultraviolet (UV) light to kill bacteria, viruses, and other microbes in the air. UV light is an effective method for killing these pathogens, but it can’t remove particles from the air.

No matter what type of air purifier you choose, it’s important to keep it clean and well-maintained. Regularly replacing or cleaning the filters and other components will ensure that your air purifier is operating at its best and providing the cleanest air possible.
