Indoor air filters work by drawing in air, trapping pollutants within a filter, and releasing cleaner air back into your living space.
An air purifier containing an indoor air filter is designed to improve air quality within a room. The process begins by actively drawing in indoor air from the surrounding environment.
Once the air is pulled into the unit, it is passed through a filter. This filter serves as a barrier made of fibrous material designed to capture microscopic particles and larger debris floating in the air. The filter effectively gathers pollutants such as dust, pollen, and other airborne contaminants.
After the pollutants have been trapped by the filter media, the now-cleaned air is then pushed back into the room, significantly reducing the concentration of airborne particles indoors.
Some air purifiers are specifically designed with filters tailored to remove particular contaminants, including:
- Dust
- Mold spores
- Pet dander
- Pollen
- Smoke particles
By continuously cycling the air through the filter, these systems help maintain a healthier indoor environment by reducing common allergens and irritants.
