Air purification is at its optimum in an environment where there is minimal air flow, where there is close interaction between people and where doors and windows are usually closed. These are usually places where there are many people in a small space such as: offices, hospitals, care homes, staff rooms, shops, pharmacies or any other similar environment.  

Drawing air through an internal filter is the start of the process and as the particles go through the filter they are caught in the filter, allowing only clean air to travel out back into the room. Bacteria, viruses, odours, pollutants and allergens can all be purified out of the air by an air purifier.  

There are different types of filters in different models. Some air purifiers will filter out and capture 99.97% of organisms. The Aeramax Professional uses a 2 in 1 hybrid filter, which combines activated carbon and HEPA filters to get to this 99.97%. Other filters use a combination of filters, AirDri SteraSpace combines germicidal irradiation, photo catalytic oxidation as well as dual waveband UV technology to eliminate micro-organisms in the air and on surfaces. Whereas the Biozone purely uses an ultra violet lamp to purify the air, best in washrooms and bathrooms for controlling odours.  

When purchasing an air purifier there are a few things you should consider beforehand: 

  • Sound-  the level of decibels produced by the unit may be an important factor to consider 
  • Size – typically air purifiers are small, but it is important to check beforehand 
  • Energy consumption – how much energy the air purifier uses 
  • Filter – the cost of the filter and how often it needs to be replaced 
  • Warranty – how long the product warranty lasts 
  • Room size – the size of the unit may depend on the size of the unit needed
