Air Purifiers for Smoke
Small units can reduce secondhand smoke
Smoke removal is one of the most commonly asked-for features in today's air purification models. Smoke can be irritating, annoying and (of course) unhealthy. Many individuals who smoke are beginning to realize the importance of removing this contaminant from the air for the benefit of those they live with. Quitting smoking is the best option for everyone's health, but this can be difficult. In the meantime, there can be at least some relief from secondhand smoke with the use of air purifiers.
There are several air purifiers that are well suited for the removal of smoke from the air in your home. Any purifier with a HEPA filter will remove most smoke particles, but other technologies are additionally effective at removing smoke, particularly carbon filtration.
Some top air purifiers for smoke removal are:
The IQAir GC Series Air Purifier , which features effective removal of smoke and many other airborne contaminants from the air, including chemicals, gases and VOCs. It's also easy to maintain and ultra-quiet for optimal convenience.
The BlueAir 601, 501 and 402 series of air purifiers, which can be equipped with “optional smoke stop filters.” The active ingredient in these is the three enhanced HEPASilent filters with activated carbon. The models in these series promise to deliver extra particulate removal and better removal of smoke, odor and gas. They cost in the range of $399 to $599. They also have a “silent running” feature that makes them ideal for use in the bedroom.
The AllerAir 5000 Exec with UV , which features:
- Elimination of smoke, VOCs, odors and gases
- A HEPA filter for maximum efficiency
- UV germicidal lights for added performance: removal of all airborne pathogens
- Ultra-quiet performance to make working and sleeping easier
The Austin Air Healthmate , which features:
- Effective removal of allergens, smoke, VOCs, gases and odors
- Easy maintenance
- A HEPA filter for optimal efficiency
- Coverage from 400 up to 1,500 square feet
Eat your smoke?
You can also filter your air through the use of a smoke eater. These work in two unique ways. One method uses a combination of UV light purification and an electrostatic purifier. Another, simpler method uses a straight paper filter to remove smoke particles from the air.
