Air Purification Systems

Choosing products at a home show – the ins and outs of an air purification system. An air purifier is a device which removes contaminants from air. Air purifiers are commonly marketed as being particularly beneficial to allergy sufferers and asthmatics, and at reducing second-hand tobacco smoke. Andy Bell of Handyman Matters explains what you should look for in an air purification system, including a discussion of the types of particles that should be filtered out of the air you breathe. While at a home show, he looks at an air purifier that attaches to a house furnace or air conditioner and provides a technical explanation of how bacteria, viruses, dust and other particles are removed from the air. Air purification can help asthmatics and people with allergies breathe better and also keeps everyone healthier by removing dust, pollution, airborne viruses and harmful bacteria from the air circulating through the home.
