Home Remove Smog PM2.5 UV

A common misconception is that smog is an invisible, harmless gas. However the smog in the air contains toxins and other pollutants. This make it a dangerous and uncomfortable subject to talk about and is one of the reasons why we should all take active steps to prevent it from happening at home.

The most important thing to know about dealing with smog indoors is that there are many ways we can do this, but our first step should be checking our equipment for any indication of malfunction such as a smoke alarm going off or if your house smells like burning plastic. It's also good to make sure filters are functioning properly and your air conditioning unit has been working properly recently before using any type of mask or purifier.

An air cleaner is a type of air purifier that removes smoke and particles from the air based on a process called absorption. Air cleaners operate by passing an airstream through a filter medium. This filter medium may be composed of fibrous material such as activated charcoal, fiberglass, or cellulose; or it may use liquids such as water. The filter absorbs the pollutants in the airstream to its surface area and stops them from passing through to the exhaust. There are many different types of air cleaners:

1) Smoke absorbers: Smoke absorbers work by using passive filters. These filters will absorb most particles and can be cleaned with soap and water if they get dirty.

2) Heat/negatively charged ion generators: These types of air purifiers will release negatively charged particles into the air.

3) Electrostatic precipitators: These are similar to HEPA filters, except the particulate matter is collected by using an electric field to attract it. This can be expensive but is very effective.

4) HEPA filters: High Efficiency Partical Air filters are usually used in conjunction with an HVAC system or furnace. They stop 99% of particles larger than 0.3 micrometers and can require replacement every 6 months or so depending on how much you use them.
