When it comes to controlling odors, HEPA air purifiers are often the go-to solution. While these mechanical filters can capture airborne particles, they are not able to eliminate the gases that cause bad odors in our homes. To do this, you need an air purification technology that can effectively destroy VOCs, the airborne chemicals that produce odors. Molekule's PECO technology is the only one that can do this.An air purifier can be a great way to get rid of unpleasant smells in your home.
To test its effectiveness, I used a sound level meter to measure the highest and lowest levels of air purifiers from a distance of four feet. It was clear that continuous air purification is needed to clean the air and maintain good air quality levels.When shopping for an air purifier, there are several features to consider. The EPA defines an authentic HEPA filter as one that captures at least 99.97% of airborne particles of 0.3 microns in diameter. Additionally, you should look for an air purifier with a high percentage of removal and low amount of VOCs and particles left after two hours.It's important to remember that air purifiers usually work best in a single room, so just one won't be enough if you want to eliminate bad odors from your entire home.
Furthermore, products with popular fragrances, such as air fresheners, should be avoided as they can be harmful to your health. The California Air Resources Board also recommends against using ozone-generating devices in the home due to health risks.
