Do
Air Purifiers Really Work?
Indoor air pollutants are unwanted, sometimes harmful materials in
the air. They range from dusts to chemicals to radon. Air cleaners are devices
that attempt to remove such pollutants from the indoor air you breathe.
The typical furnace filter installed in the ductwork of most home
heating and/or air-conditioning systems is a simple air cleaner. This basic
filtering system may be upgraded by using another filter to trap additional
pollutants or by adding additional air-cleaning devices. An alternative to
upgrading the induct air cleaning system is using individual room, portable
air cleaners. Air cleaners generally rely on filtration, or the attraction
of charged particles to the air cleaning device itself or to surfaces within
the home, for the removal of pollutants. The use of "air cleaning" to remove
pollutants from the air in residences is in its infancy.
Because many factors need to be considered in determining whether
use of an air cleaner is appropriate in a particular setting, the decision
whether or not to use an air cleaner is left to the individual. As of yet,
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has not taken a position either
for or against the use of these devices in the home.
Three Strategies (in order of effectiveness) May Be
Used To Reduce Indoor Air Pollutants:
1. Source Control
eliminates individual sources of pollutants or reduces their emissions,
and is generally the most effective strategy. Some sources, like those that
contain asbestos, can be sealed or enclosed; others, like combustion appliances,
can be adjusted to decrease the amount of emissions. Unfortunately, not all
pollutant sources can be identified and practically eliminated or reduced.
2. Ventilation
brings outside air indoors. It can be achieved by opening windows and
doors, by turning on local bathroom or kitchen exhaust fans, or, in some
situations, by the use of mechanical ventilation systems. However, there
are practical limits to the extent ventilation can be used to reduce airborne
pollutants. Costs for heating or cooling incoming air can be significant,
and outdoor air itself may contain undesirable levels of contaminants.
3. Air Cleaning
may serve as an adjunct to source control and ventilation. However, the
use of air cleaning devices alone cannot assure adequate air quality, particularly
where significant sources are present and ventilation is inadequate. Air
cleaners are usually classified by the method employed for removing particles
of various sizes from the air.
There are three general types of air cleaners on the market: mechanical
filters, electronic air cleaners, and ion generators. Air cleaners may be
in-duct units (installed in the central heating and/or air-conditioning system)
or stand-alone portable units.
The effectiveness of air cleaners in removing pollutants from the
air is a function of both the efficiency of the device itself and the amount
of air handled by the device. A product of these two factors (for a given
pollutant) is expressed as the unit's clean air delivery rate (CADR).
Portable air cleaners vary in size and effectiveness in pollutant
reduction capabilities. They range from relatively ineffective table-top
units to larger, more powerful console units. In general, units containing
either electrostatic precipitators, negative ion generators, or pleated filters,
and hybrid units containing combinations of these mechanisms, are more effective
than flat filter units in removing tobacco smoke particles. Effectiveness
within these classes varies widely, however. For removal of larger dust particles,
negative ion generators, without additional particle capture mechanisms (e.g.,
filters), may perform poorly.
Pollutants in indoor air may be divided into three groups: particles,
gaseous pollutants, and radon. Some air cleaners, under the right conditions,
can effectively remove small particles which are suspended in air. However,
controversy exists as to the efficiency of air cleaners in removing larger
particles such as pollen and house dust allergens, which rapidly settle on
surfaces. Animal dander may settle more slowly, although the surface particles
far exceed the amount in the air. Therefore, control of the sources of allergens
and ventilation should be stressed as the primary means of reducing allergic reactions.
Some of the air cleaners containing sorbents may also remove some
of the gaseous pollutants in indoor air. However, no air-cleaning systems
are expected to totally eliminate all hazards from gaseous pollutants and
these systems may have a limited lifetime before replacement is necessary.
In addition, air cleaning may not be effective in reducing the risks of lung
cancer due to radon.

What
to look for when choosing an air cleaner:
The potential effectiveness of the device under the conditions it will be used.
The need for routine maintenance, including cleaning and replacement of filters.
The estimated capital and maintenance cost.
The installation requirements (e.g., power, access).
The manufacturer's recommended operating procedures.
The possible production or re-dispersal of pollutants, such as ozone, particles,
formaldehyde and trapped gaseous pollutants.
The inability of some air cleaners to control gases and some odors, such as
those from tobacco smoke.
Possible health effects from charged particles produced by ion generators.
Possible soiling of surfaces by charged particles produced by ion generators.
The noise level at the air flow rates that will be used.

Are
Ozone Generators Effective?
Available scientific evidence shows that at concentrations that do
not exceed public health standards, ozone has little potential to remove
indoor air contaminants.
Whether in its pure form or mixed with other chemicals, ozone can
be harmful to health. When inhaled, ozone can damage the lungs. Relatively
low amounts of ozone can cause chest pain, coughing, shortness of breath
and throat irritation.
It may also worsen chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma
as well as compromise the ability of the body to fight respiratory infections.
Some studies show that ozone concentrations produced by ozone generators
can exceed health standards even when one follows manufacturer's instructions.
Many factors affect ozone concentrations including the amount of ozone produced
by the machine, the size of the indoor space, the amount of material in the
room with which ozone reacts, the outdoor ozone concentration, and the amount
of ventilation. These factors make it difficult to control the ozone concentration
in all circumstances.
Available scientific evidence shows that, at concentrations that
do not exceed public health standards, ozone is generally ineffective in
controlling indoor air pollution. The concentration of ozone would have to
greatly exceed health standards to be effective in removing most indoor air
contaminants. In the process of reacting with chemicals indoors, ozone can
produce other chemicals that themselves can be irritating and corrosive.
