Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemical gases emitted by some solid or liquid objects, and some of these substances can be hazardous to human health. Unfortunately, the most common small air purifiers don't have enough activated carbon to effectively treat VOCs, so it's essential to select an air purifier that is specifically designed to remove these dangerous airborne particles and chemicals from the air. HEPA filters are popular, but they cannot absorb VOCs from the air, so you should opt for an air purifier with a large amount of activated carbon. The Overreactor filter comes with 1.96 pounds of modified granular carbon and is an excellent choice for eliminating VOCs.
Combined with HyperHEPA technology, this unit is the most effective air purifier for combating VOCs indoors. When it's not possible to use an air purifier, another method of reducing VOC levels is to use adsorption technology, usually with the help of a filter made of activated carbon. The maximum possible exposure to contaminants is allowed to the active sites of the activated carbon filter medium. For greater efficiency, air purifier filters should be replaced regularly, so make sure your choice fits your budget.
Air purifiers aren't hard to find, but if you want them to handle volatile organic compounds (VOCs), you should pay special attention to filters.
