Is Apatite a safe material to be used on air purifier filters?

I learned that the Sharp air purifiers’ HEPA filters have an Apatite component to it that apparently provides antibacterial properties to protect the filters from microbial accumulation. Is Apatite a relatively “safe” material to use for an air filter, i.e. is it safe for the resident who is breathing air that comes through the filter? Apatite (a very general term) is usually made up of phosphorus and calcium, but some variants (ie. arsenates like mimemite) may contain arsenic. Could this be a health issue for users? Would the filters use arsenic-based variants in the first place, or are other forms more prevalent and likely to be used in medical/industrial applications?

How well does your Air Purifier work?

If price was not an issue….would you pay to have an air purifier that completely cleans the air in your home? Can it get rid of your allergies…pollen…dust…even dust mites? Do you have to change the filter all the time or rinse it off once a month? Are you constantly replacing parts or the only time you have to replace anything is if you break it? If you burn popcorn in the microwave…does the smell linger for days with your purifier or is the smell gone in an hour or so?
