Many people may understand that air purifiers filter air to make it clean and suitable for breathing, but currently there are high-quality air purifiers that can kill viruses. High-performance air purifiers must have the following characteristics:
Choose an air purifier that can filter fine particles
Many of us know PM 2.5, which stands for Particulate matter with diameter of less than 2.5 microns—dust particles no larger than 2.5 microns. COVID-19 has an average size of 0.06-0.14 microns. For an air purifier to provide effective filtration, it must have a filter that can filter particles finer than the above. High-performance air purifiers can filter particles as fine as 0.0146 microns, which effectively filters viruses and PM 2.5.
Choose an air purifier with virus-killing technology
Most air purifiers may filter or trap viruses, but they only trap and store them in the filter layer. High-performance air purifiers have technology called TPA Technology that can kill 99.99% of over 400 virus strains using a 40,000-volt electric curtain, storing only pathogen debris in the filter. This differs from other air purification technologies that typically only trap and store pathogens in the filter cartridge.
Choose a certified air purifier
To ensure quality, you should choose an air purifier certified to actually kill viruses, verified by internationally recognized testing institutes such as SGS, a world-leading organization in inspection, testing, and system certification, renowned for working with expertise.
