Everyone knows that clean air is a pledge of well-being in both adults and children. Especially this issue worries about smoking people, as sometimes it is impossible to distinguish between work and rest space from a place for smoking. An excellent way out in such situations can be an air purifier from tobacco smoke.
Filters in anti-tobacco air purifiers
Currently, various filters have been developed, which are actively used by manufacturers. Among them are:
- HEPA, excellent coping with dust, wool, some kinds of fungi and other dirt;
- coal;
- Electrostatic, which attracts contaminated particles and smoke by statics;
- Water, which "wash" the air, letting it through in portions through the water;
- ozone;
- photocatalytic, killing smells and dirt with the help of ultraviolet rays.
As a rule, in one device several types of filters are combined to achieve the best effect.
How to choose an air purifier from tobacco smoke?
In order to choose the most suitable for yourself, the air purifier from smoke, you need to take into account such characteristics:
- area of the room to be cleaned;
- The place where the anti-smoking air purifier will be placed, since it can be of different sizes and placed on the floor, table or wall;
- permissible noise level;
- presence of necessary additional functions, for example, timer, ionization.
Very often consultants in stores are urged to purchase a humidifier to clean it, but the principle of its operation is not so effective. He draws air from the room and sates it with moisture in the reservoir. At the same time, dust and other dirt are also filled with water, heavier and settle on the floor, but the volatile particles of smoke and soot to the humidifiers are beyond the power. Therefore, a special air purifier from the smell of tobacco has a system that cope with the splitting of such particles and can neutralize them.
The most effective is a photocatalytic air purifier. Such a device is better than others to suppress the smell of tobacco smoke and many toxic gases,
Air purifiers from tobacco smoke with an ozone filter much quicker kill unpleasant smells and even saturate the air with ozone, a small concentration of which is useful for health. But near such a device a person is better not to be, and a room after cleaning is better to ventilate immediately. It is important not to overdo it, because in large quantities ozone is very toxic.
It is important to understand that in most cases different devices contain a set of different filters that meet the needs of an individual consumer.
