Air Purifier Mold

"Air is our most important food." That's the operating philosophy of German heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) company  ActoVent , an enterprise built around the simple philosophy that the air we breathe and release into the environment should be clean. During the pandemic, air quality became an obsession to many people. Adding to the concern was the limited understanding of air pollution processes in workplaces, schools, hospitals, and other public buildings. On a practical level, the lack of transparency was expensive, given the rising price of raw materials and energy costs. And with the HVAC industry suffering from a shortage of skilled labor, few maintenance professionals knew when to change and replace filters and v-belts, how many were in stock, and even whether the correct ones were in place.  Indeed, filter changes were often performed because of the specifications in time-based contracts ra...

Score: 98/100 Our winner is a real statement buy. Dyson's latest model was developed to purify larger spaces than its predecessors, and it impressed on design (it's big yet sleek) and performance, removing most of the particles our testers threw its way quickly and effectively. In fact, from dust to deodorant, it aced all our tests in the lab and at home, and our pet-owning panel tester found it removed animal dander effectively too. Our panel liked its unique 'breeze mode', which mimics the feeling of being outdoors, and you can angle its air flow to suit, too. Its auto mode also deserves a special mention for its responsiveness, ramping up purifying efforts immediately when our tester started cooking, As with most Dyson products, it's the detail that truly sets it apart; it has hidden wheels to make moving it around easier (although it's still heavy and probably too big for smaller homes), and its app is intuitive and informative. Everyone found it quiet to...

When searching for an air purifier, you might notice each model has a different filter type. Finding the right one for your space can feel confusing. Below, we break down the differences between each one. HEPA Filters: This is a high-efficiency particulate air filter that can remove at least 99.97 percent of dust, mold, pollen, bacteria, and airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns. It's a great option for those who suffer from allergies or respiratory issues since it can help to clear out airborne particles that can trigger symptoms—like sneezing, sore throat, difficulty breathing, coughing, and more. It's worth noting, however, that HEPA filters don't remove volatile organic compounds from the air as activated carbon filters do. But these are typically paired with carbon filters. Activated Carbon: Activated carbon filters (also known as activated charcoal) are highly effective because they are very porous and have a large surface area—allowing the filters to absorb ga...

Hands on with the CleanForce Air Rainbow Air Purifier featuring triple filter technology According to the Harvard Medical School, "It may feel cozy being sealed in tight against the cold in your home during the chillier months of the year, but for people who are sensitive to indoor allergens or have respiratory problems, winter can exacerbate problems. Stale indoor air and heating systems can increase the amount of allergy-inducing dust mites, pet dander, and mold spores circulating through your house." In addition, Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), released during cooking, can, according to the California Air Resources Board, cause "nose and throat irritation, headaches, fatigue and nausea".  All of these problems are exacerbated during the winter because, for energy efficiency, people leave their windows and doors tightly closed. There is little opportunity for these pollutants to be ventilated to the outside, or fresh outdoor air...

Best Air Purifier: Quick Menu If you want clean air at home, free from pollution and pollen, then one of the best air purifiers is what you need. When running, these devices will filter airborne contaminants from your air, venting clean air back into the room. That means as well as cleaning your air, an air purifier can help deodorize the space too, but how can you tell if you're buying the right model? That's where we can help you out. We've tested a range of air purifiers to find the best.  To assess the performance, we used a certified testing method (AHAM AC-1) to calculate the CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) for each model. This shows us the rate these machines can filter the air in a measured space, with separate readings across dust, smoke and pollen, revealing the efficiency and the ideal room size for each. We checked the relevant certification to confirm these readings, and if it wasn't provided, we sent the models off to the lab ourselves, to ensure...
