Many people in Southeast Asia have lived under grey skies for several weeks as the region tries to catch its breath amidst the hazy conditions. As households pay closer attention to the fluctuations in air quality, some might be wondering just what they can do to breathe a little easier indoors.
That’s why some are turning to air purifiers to help reduce dust particles for better air quality. While this home appliance might currently be the region’s most welcomed addition this season, it’s worth noting that its usefulness extends beyond the haze.
Regardless of what the sky looks like outside, the right air purifier can make the indoor environment more comfortable for your household. If you’re trying to pick one for your home, here are some things to keep in mind.
Advanced Purification System
Filtration is a key function of air purifiers and with different sized and types of particles present in the air, a multi-layer system is crucial to effectively capture and remove dust. The Samsung Smart Air Purifier SmartThings for instance, comes equipped with a multi-layered high efficiency purification system.
Larger dust particles are first trapped by a washable pre filter, while harmful gases 1 are removed by an Activated Carbon Deodorization Filter. Finally, with an electret dust-collecting filter, it captures up to 99.97% of ultrafine dust.
