From past pollution conditions, many people have become aware of PM 2.5 dust, but many may not yet know how much hazardous chemicals are mixed in the air. These substances require only high-performance air purifiers to eliminate them.
Formaldehyde (HCHO)
Have you ever noticed when moving into a new house or buying new furniture, our nose detects a pungent smell? Without an air purifier, we may have to endure inhaling these odors until they disappear. In fact, the familiar smell we call “new smell” comes from a chemical called formaldehyde, which is often a component in home decoration products such as furniture, textiles, and substandard cheap mattresses. In rooms without ventilation or air purifiers, the concentration of formaldehyde increases even more. If people in the house receive formaldehyde levels exceeding 0.1 ppm, it will cause irritation to the eyes, nose, and respiratory tract.
Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC)
Did you know that most odors in the home consist of volatile organic compounds (TVOC)? Without an air purifier, we may have to inhale these substances constantly while at home, whether it’s odors from cleaning solutions, hair perm or dye solutions, toy smells, pesticide odors, or cigarette smoke. If TVOC in the air we breathe exceeds 0.6 mg/m³, it will cause eye and nose irritation, including dizziness. With long-term exposure, it may have long-term health effects.
Conclusion
It’s clear that it’s not just PM 2.5 we should be concerned about, because there are many hazardous substances hidden in daily life. High-performance air purifiers are therefore important electrical appliances that can help reduce the accumulation of hazardous substances in the body.
Caution: Not all air purifier models can filter or eliminate harmful substances. You must consider whether the elimination efficiency is as high as 99.99% or not, including looking at the CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) performance – the rate of delivering consistent clean air quality throughout its lifespan. This is because some models display CADR values based on first-time use performance only, but do not indicate that efficiency will decline over the product’s lifetime.
