How To Choose An Air Purifier For Chemicals And Paint Fumes
Selecting an air purifier for paint fumes and chemicals can be tricky. There are tons of options out there and some are better than others.
A well-designed air purifier can really help with reducing your exposure to volatile organic compounds.
So, when selecting an air purifier there are crucial things you should consider before choosing one.
Below, I put a simple list of im
portant features you should look for.
So that you will find the best one to use for all your home renovations needs.
Filtration
A HEPA filter is just not enough
to remove gases. Yes, HEPA filters are excellent for removing airborne particles but they are just not cut out for gas removal.
However, a key feature to look for is a properly designed gas and odor filter. It has to contain other inert ingredients. Such as a large amount of high-quality activated carbon.
The carbon blend is what oxides the chemical vapors. This is the proper way to reduce your exposure to solvents and VOCs. You don’t want a simple little thin filter.
Room Size
Coverage is very important when choosing an air purifier for fumes.
For example, if you have a 1000 square feet home or art studio and you get an air purifier that covers only 500 square feet it won’t perform the best.
If you want to neutralize the solven
ts then it is best to calculate the room size with the ceiling height.
It’s important to pick an air purifier that can at least do at least 2 air changes per hour.
Noise Level
If you are hypersensitive to noise, an
air purifier that is loud could be a problem.
However, if you are wanting to keep your air purifier on while you sleep then I would go with an air purifier that operates at less than 30 dB while it is running at its lowest speed.
Warranty
No one wants an air purifier that brea
ks down all the time. Or has faulty sensors or parts.
Some companies buy cheap parts this causes the air cleaners to have issues down the road.
So it is important to look for an air purifier that has the longest warranty. Most air purifiers have a 2 to 5-year warranty.
Brands like the IQAir GC Multigas Air
Purifier have a 10-year warranty on parts and labor. So you know it is well built.
