Frequently Asked Questions
What should I look for when buying non-toxic air purifiers?
1. Ozone generation 2. Filter type 3. Room size match
What ingredients should I avoid in air purifiers?
Ionizers, ozone generators, UV without shielding, undersized units
How do I care for non-toxic air purifiers?
Replace HEPA filters per manufacturer schedule (usually every 6-12 months). Carbon filters saturate and need replacing — they can re-release captured chemicals when full. Run continuously on low for best results. Size the unit for your room's square footage.
What greenwashing should I watch for with air purifiers?
"HEPA-type" or "HEPA-style" filters are NOT true HEPA — they capture far fewer particles. "Ionizer" and "plasma" purifiers can generate ozone as a byproduct. Look for actual HEPA H13 or H14 certification.
