Today's air purifier technology is so complex, most consumers do not know a thing about how it works and what to look for in an air purifier. I will explain some of the common terms you probably hear when buying an air purifier and what to look for.

MERV Rating

The MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) Rating is a standard used by most air purifier companies to measure the efficiency of their air purifiers. It is an industry standard among air purifier companies so you can safely use this rating to compare different brands of air purifiers.

The MERV rating is from 1 to 16. Generally speaking the higher the merv rating, the more efficient is the air purifier. Most air purifier manufacturers will indicate the MERV rating on the box itself. A rating between 6 to 12 is considered good and should meet your needs.

The CADR Level

The CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) Level is another industry standard used to measure the rate of delivered clean air. So how do the air purifier manufacturers measure the clean air delivery rate and arrive at the numbers? It is measured by measuring the processing air volume of the 3 most common contaminants in our atmosphere. They are smoke, dust and pollen.

For each contaminant, the higher the CADR level, the more efficient it is at processing the contaminant. So you should pick an air purifier with high CADR numbers for all three components.

Another factor that you should consider before purchasing an air purifier is the air filter. This is one of the items you will need to replace often and so you may want to check the prices of an replacement air filter.

There are also some retailers who sell generic air filters. They are generally cheaper than original air filters but quality wise may not be that good.

My recommendation would depend on whether you are considering to purchase a more expensive air purifier or a cheaper one. If you are going to purchase a better air purifier, then use original air filters as they are more reliable and will not damage your air purifier. On the other hand, using OEM air filters may not be a bad thing if you are purchasing a cheaper air purifier.

Smoke odor removal can be very difficult in homes, offices, and even vehicles. If you have just purchased a home that smokers had previously lived in, it is really difficult to rid the home of the smell. Many homeowners replace the carpet and even paint the walls, but still cannot seem to get the smell out. For some reason it is one of those scents that seems to just hang in the air forever. Opening the windows helps, but as soon as they are closed again the scent seems to be back. Unfortunately, this scent is not appealing to homeowners or their guests, and can actually make some people feel unwell.

Instead of living in what smells like a smoker's house, there are some steps that you can take. First, before you ever move in you should keep the windows open and the ceiling fans on for as long as possible. It is also a superb idea to have the carpets professionally cleaned, as this can be a great approach to smoke odor removal. Unfortunately, if the smokers that lived in the home before you lived there for a long time, the carpet cleaning will only be a temporary fix. The reason for this is that the smells have probably permeated the carpet padding, so after a few days or weeks the smell will gradually become more and more obvious again.

Your smoke odor removal attempts do not have to be over yet. Many home owners find that simply washing the walls with an antibacterial cleaner can help them cut through the grime on the walls of the home that is contributing to the scents in the home. This can be a long and time consuming process, but washing the walls is often very effective. If this doesn't work, you may want to consider having the walls painted to simply cover up any of the lingering smells. Of course, repainting a whole house can simply replace the smoky smells with paint smells. Painting is also a costly option for most, if they really want to do away with the lingering smells.

Just because your home smells like a smoker's home after all of your attempts does not mean that you have to deal with it or move. Instead, you need to think about getting to the root of the problem, which is the contaminants that are lingering in the air no matter what you do. If you really want to nip your smoke odor removal problem in the bud, consider a Quantum Pure Aire purifier.

OFFICE AIR CLEANER & REPLACEMENT FILTER

3M Office Air Cleaner & Replacement Filter

A great deal has been written and said in the media recently about an electrostatic precipitator (ESP) commercial air purifier and an ozone generator. Unfortunately, as often happens during media frenzies, the truth gets lost amid generalizations, assumptions and poor reporting.

First, what is ozone? Ozone (O3) is composed of 3 oxygen atoms and is considered a very reactive gas. When a chemical reaction between the diatomic oxygen molecule (O2) and an oxygen atom (O) takes place, ozone is formed. There is some confusion about "good" ozone and "bad" ozone. Ozone in the upper atmosphere is very beneficial in that it protects us from the sun's harmful UV rays. However, breathing in heavy concentrations of ozone is potentially dangerous to the lungs.

The primary difference between ESP air cleaners and ozone generators is this: ESP air purifiers produce tiny amounts of ozone as a by-product of the air purification process; ozone generators are built specifically to "intentionally" produce ozone.

With electrostatic precipitator technology, minute amounts of ozone are produced during the ionization process. This is drastically different from ozone generators sold as air purifiers that do not improve indoor air quality, but produce heavy concentrations of potentially harmful ozone. To further confuse the issue, some ozone generator manufacturers use cute names to disguise the ozone such as "saturated oxygen", "activated oxygen" and "pure air". What they are actually producing is ozone, not pure air.

Many ozone generators boast of ozone being an effective germicide. An Environmental Protection Agency study concluded that ozone, even at concentrations almost 100 times the recommended limit for human exposure, was ineffective in killing airborne molds and fungi. The California Environmental Protection Agency's Air Resources Board recommends against the use of ozone generators.

Ozone generators are often touted as being effective in removing tobacco smoke odor. A test conducted by Consumer Reports magazine found this to be untrue. A far more effective and safer approach to removing smoke odors is with an odor neutralizing cartridge.
