Small Portable Air Purifiers: What Works, What Doesn't

When most people decide to improve the indoor air quality in a small room or office, they typically look online for a small air purifier. Of course, there are literally hundreds of small air filtration units available with a variety of outputs, methods of filtration, etc, and almost all of them claim to be ‘the best’, which simply isn’t true. Most of them will work well for a specific sizes or space, reducing pollutant levels in that space to some degree. The big difference between them, however, is how well will that small air purifier cover the space–how many air changes per hour? And, does it have the filters to remove most or virtually all of the types of pollutants present? This is why you really have to read the fine print and find out what is included, so you know whether this is the right air purifier for your needs.
 
Most often, the small portable office air filters or room air purifiers you find online will  feature 1) ions, 2) HEPA 3) carbon or other absorbing media for odors and chemicals, or electrostatic plates that attract particles only, or some combination of all of these. Most really small units (designed for 40-100 square feet) will include the basic HEPA filters (which are better than electrostatic because electrostatic stops grabbing particles after the plates are coated; HEPA’s continue working) and a carbon pre-filter or small carbon filter to remove chemicals and odors. This combination is usually the best because these two filters are actually removing pollutants from the air; ions can destroy some VOC’s and cause some particles to drop out of the air to the floor, but they don’t trap anything.
 
So when looking for say, as silent mini air purifier, make sure it has real HEPA and carbon as a base, then if it has ions as well, that’s good too, but start with HEPA and carbon and the more carbon, the better. And make sure the unit is rated for the size of your room or a little higher–if it’s under, it won’t clean the air fast enough to keep you from breathing pollutants first.
