In other words the greater the area an air purifier can disturb \nair the more air it can clean, or the further the distance the unit can \npush air from its intake the better. Look for a unit like Austin Air Or \nAller Air who have a large input area and small output area. This cause \nthe air to be accelerated faster out of the machine than into the \nmachine and prevent short circuiting. Short circuiting is when the \nexhaust air re-enters the input of the unit without mixing with the air \nin the room, this &nbsp;not &nbsp;good. It should be noted the this acceleration \nof air causes the unit to make noise (not motor noise but a whooshing \nsound). In lay terms if it doesn`t make that whooshing sound it does \nclean air effectively<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Make\n sure the unit has a certified HEPA filter. This means that every filter\n must be tested and certified to meet the HEPA standard of particle \ncapture rate of 99.97% \u201c 0.3 microns. Unfortunately there are companies \nout there that claim their filters are HEPA but have not had each filter\n tested, so buyer beware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The greater the square inches of HEPA, the better. For example Austin Air has 80 square inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Carbon,\n this is for gas phase toxins as well as odours. Typically the more \ncarbon the better, however there are different types of activated \ncarbons and other additives that expand the range of gas phase toxins it\n can absorb. There is no such thing as super duper activated carbon, \nthese type of schemes &nbsp;are simply marketing ploys to get your money. \n&nbsp;For the most part the carbon offered in both the Austin Air and Aller \nAir are sufficient. However, for those that have multiply chemical \nsensitivity may need activated carbons with added Potassium permanganate\n &nbsp;or alumina &nbsp;to expand the&nbsp; it chemical range. Both Austin Air and \nAller Air offer different carbon filters, however Aller Air not only has\n a separate carbon filter, but it can be customer blend to meet the \nclient\u2019s needs. It should be noted that some people with multiple \nchemical sensitivity can have a negative response to some carbons. For \nthese folk Aller Air offers the best option as you can order a carbon \nkits to determine which carbon you do NOT react to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask a CIE which is the best option for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well&nbsp; to make it simple the USA military has tested 100 air purification units and they selected Austin Air.
