Picking the best air purifiers to keep your home clean might not be too difficult, but ensuring that you get something that’s effective and still safe for your home can be a little trickier than you think, especially if you’re considering how common compound chemicals are, and how these chemicals can affect our health.
Other than the annual haze from our neighbors down South, the colds, cases of flu, and other viruses are also significant concerns to all Singaporeans. The best air purifiers on the market are those that feature a High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter, which is about 99.97% efficient at removing particles that are no more than 0.3 microns in diameter, which includes deadly particulates such as PM 2.5 and PM 0.5.
Although even the best HEPA filter will not kill viruses, as viruses are submicron in size, which makes them hard to capture, an air purifier with a HEPA filter can remove harmful airborne microorganisms, as well as allergens such as dust and pollen from the air. It is still useful if you have young children or family members who are pregnant or suffers from asthma, allergies, or eczema while helping you breathe safer and healthier at home.
