do air purifiers really work?
We think we might be moving into an apartment that has a mold problem. I hear that air purifiers can filter spores that can cause you to get sick. Do they really work?

As far as free-standing air-purifiers go, the answer is no. They cover a very small area, if they work at all. It has to be treated at the whole house level, meaning that an air purification system that mounts in the HVAC system for it to be effective. Why does it have a mold problem? You need to deal with the source of the mold problem; not just the symptoms.
We have one. I’m not really sure how well they work against mold etc, but ours collects a lot of dust in the back, so that’s good, & it makes the house smell cleaner.
