Executive Summary by Justin Mann

Air pollution is clearly a health hazard when you consider all the many harmful materials present in the air we breathe. It may not always be practical due to adverse weather conditions to ventilate with fresh air from outdoors but a home air cleaner can help to get rid of the pollutants already inside your home. This allows the air in the house as a whole to be cleaned but with the help of a portable home air cleaner, the air in a single room or specific area can be cleaned instead of the full house.

The majority of home air cleaners have a mechanical air filter. The filters do their job by trapping large airborne particles such as dust, dust mites, pollen, cockroach allergens, mold and pet dander. Nonetheless these particles settle rapidly and they cannot be completely removed by the air filters. Most air-conditioners and residential furnaces come with flat panel air filters which serve as home air cleaners. A fan circulates the air and the filters clean it in the portable home air cleaners.

The home electronic air cleaner also removes small particles, but it is ineffective at removing larger particles. Electronic air cleaners can turn out ozone, which can irritate the lungs. Ultra fine particles may also be produced and this happens as a consequence of ozone mixing with indoor chemicals such as air fresheners and cleaning products. Such particles may cause unpleasant health problems. The home air cleaner certainly helps to lessen levels of smaller airborne particles or allergens but it is not capable of removing microorganisms, which ultimately cause disease.
