Air Purifier Glossary
Before you start shopping, make sure you know what all the jargon means surrounding air purifiers.
Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR)
High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters trap particles in the air down to 0.3 microns in size. This can include dust, smoke and mould, and other irritants that are invisible to the naked eye.
HEPA
High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters trap particles in the air down to 0.3 microns in size. This can include dust, smoke and mould, and other irritants that are invisible to the naked eye.
Pet Dander
Pets shed tiny particles of skin and this is what causes the allergies that people get from pets. Air purifiers remove the dander from the air in your home.
VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds)
These are emitted as gases from liquids or solids into your home, and can be found 10 times higher indoors compared to outdoors. Furniture paint and the foam inside your sofa commonly give VOCs off.
