Air Purifiers For Smoke
Research and studies suggest that wildfires lead to an increase in air pollutants. In addition, one such study found that daily pollution levels during and after wildfires exceeded the EPA's (Environmental Protection Agency) regulations. What do Benzene, chromium, cadmium, vinyl chloride, isocyanic acid, and arsenic have in common? They can be commonly found in wildfire smoke and even tobacco smoke. These chemical components mean that effective smoke removal requires more than just HEPA particle filtration. This is why the right air purifiers for wildfire smoke and cigarette smoke air purifiers are essential. While various technologies exist to remove smoke, few have proved as consistently effective as activated carbon. This is because activated carbon (often made from coconut shells) binds with contaminants to efficiently absorb and remove them from the air. Here at Achoo, we've reviewed and tested purifiers for smoke, comparing effectiveness at removing chemical vapors and odors with price, durability, brand reputation, and particle filtration. As a result, we have come up with our list of the best air purifiers for wildfire smoke and included our top five most effective air purifiers for smoke removal. Browse these selections below!
As a new entry to our Top Five Smoke Air Purifiers list, the AirPura C600 was built for smoke, odor and chemical vapor removal. Efficiency, quiet operation and a thick, heavy carbon bed are the hallmarks of this model. Superior airflow and the largest coverage of any residential air purifier have made the AirPura C600 ideal for medium and larger spaces, while the internal design translates into quiet operation, ideal for use even in bedrooms. The core of filtration with the C600 is the 3" thick, 26 lb. carbon filter which adsorbs heavy smoke, odors, fragrances, and VOCs while a HEPA barrier post filter and thicker than usual prefilter trap a variety of particle pollutants. Simple by design and very user-friendly, the AirPura C600 is a can't miss when it comes to removing smoke and chemical abatement. Available in three colors and made in Canada. VIEW MORE
