Home air purifiers can help clear your indoor air of wildfire smoke, allergens, pet odors and more. Here’s what you need to know.
Portable air purifiers, like this Rabbit Air A3, can snuff out pet smells while also clearing your home’s air of other impurities, like dust, pollen, viruses and mold. Until recently, I was just blissfully breathing, unaware of all the microscopic particles — the dust mites, dander, pollen, mold and who knows what else — lurking right under my own nose. But as I was researchingThe problem with this job is that I can’t un-know what I now know.
The Environmental Protection Agency website recommends a three-step approach to improve your indoor air quality. First, remove pollutants and their source. Second, ventilate rooms by letting clean outside air in. And third, use air filtration by running a portable air purifier, which filters the air in a single room or area, or by upgrading the air filter in your central HVAC system. Both purifying methods can measurably reduce indoor air pollution, according to the EPA.
A week after letting the unit run in different rooms, I checked the filter and saw a light film of dust, fuzzy pet dander and several ex-mosquitoes. My husband, an even bigger skeptic than I am, said he was sneezing a lot less, which I could confirm.
