Air purifier filters are not always the answer to air quality problems.
Solving the problem is a much better approach than masking the symptom.
The following are the basic approaches to improve indoor air quality;
1) Eliminate or control the pollutant source.
2) Dilution of the contaminants through ventilation.
3) Removal or reduction of the contaminants through filtration or purification with the use of air purifier filters or air purifiers.
Proper ventilation in a building is a must!
Before the energy crunch in the 1970's fresh air in buildings was not really an issue.
When energy costs started to rise we started making our buildings more energy efficient with better insulation and sealing techniques that made the building tighter reducing the amount of fresh air into the buildings and increasing indoor pollution.
After indoor air quality issues came to the surface we learned how to reduce energy costs while not compromising the health of the occupants through the practice of building science. ...
