VOC & MCS Air Purifiers
Some people my not be familiar with volatile organic compounds, also known as VOCs. However, these gaseous pollutants can be harmful to everyone, especially if you suffer from asthma or chemical sensitivity (MCS). Specifically, MCS is categorized by a severe sensitivity or reaction to VOCs, smoke, solvents, perfumes, and other petrochemicals. Moreover, VOCs can be found in anything from paint and furniture to carpet and new vehicles. To make matters worse, according to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), seemingly "clean" indoor air can often contain invisible levels of VOCs up to 2-5 times higher than those outdoors. Thankfully, when it comes to an air purifier for VOCs or MCS, there are many options. Some of the best VOC and MCS air purifiers include filters made from activated carbon blended with an oxidizing agent or simply massive amounts of activated carbon (often derived from coconut shells). These forms of filtration coupled with a sealed system and HEPA filter can remove large amounts of pollutants from your indoor air. At Achoo, we offer a variety of MCS and VOC air purifiers that will do the trick. Find your ideal air purifier for VOC removal and the best air purifier for MCS below!

When it comes to dealing with MCS, the "solution" can often be part of the problem. Inexpensive and cheaper quality air purifiers tend to cut corners and use inferior materials which can off-gas or produce new problems for those affected by VOCs. The AirPura C600 provides the filtration to remove VOCs and also ensure that this air purifier will not be part of the problem in your home.
With steel housing, felt gaskets, isolated and compartmentalized electrical components, and a coconut shell-based carbon, the C600 is designed to release only clean air, free of chemical vapors, odors, and VOCs. The thick, steel-framed, 26 lb. carbon filter adsorbs odors while an extra large prefilter and HEPA Barrier post filter remove particulate from the air. This no-nonsense approach to air filtration uses only the most basic controls and materials to minimize its impact while keeping VOC filtration in mind. For maximum filtration, opt for the C600DLX, with it's unique blend of carbon. Available in three colors and made in Canada. VIEW MORE
