At least once in life, someone would have advised you to ask this question before buying something. And, it really is a valid question, particularly valuable when you find yourself staring at air purifiers!

Purchasing an air purifier has become the need of the hour. Pollution has reached dangerous levels these days with many cities becoming ‘gas chambers’ blanketed in a toxic haze. And the worst part is –indoor air is ten times more polluted than the air outside.

Therefore, as we spend most of our time indoors, an air purifier can act as a dependable ‘Samaritan’ by improving the air quality and reducing the risk for several ailments.

However, while making a choice, it is wise to maintain a strategic distance from a couple of air purifiers as they are not all that effective when it comes to filtration.How about we investigate two such air purifiers?

   Electrostatic Air Purifiers

In this type of air purifiers, air filtration takes place by using static electricity. The air flows through the static prone fibers (positive and negative charge metallic plate), generating electrostatic charge and thereby attracting airborne particles. It generally clears smoke and can remove odors to an extent. However, it doesn’t really clean the air. Few disadvantages of electrostatic air purifiers include:

• As the plates become dirty, the performance of the purifier deteriorates
• It can produce secondary pollution including gases like ozone
• Filters take a long time to clean. For best results, you will have to take out the internal filtration system and use specified cleaning fluids
• It becomes challenging to clean the dust particles which are stuck inside the duct line

Overall, electrostatic air purifiers are not the right solution, especially if you are looking to remove allergens such as pollen, mold, dust and so forth.

2. Ionized Air Purifiers

Ionized air purifiers scatter charged particles into the air without utilizing collection plates. These charged particles are produced by either UV lights or corona discharge. However, in the absence of collection plates, where do the particles go if they are no longer in the air?

These toxic particles get stuck on close-by surfaces in the room, for instance, your table, wall, bed, and different furnishings. Simply put, ionizer air purifiers emit charged ions into your home, leaving dirty particles everywhere else other than the air. Few more disadvantages of these purifiers are:

• They produce small amounts of ozone which can cause irritation to sensitive lungs
• People with respiratory conditions may develop additional breathing problems
