The types of pollutants filtered out by air purifiers

Some air purifiers are better than others at filtering out specific types of pollutants. If your major issue is cigarette smoke, for example, you may want a different gadget than someone who lives with a zoo's worth of pets.

Air purifiers are graded depending on how well they filter various pollutant sizes. While most air purifiers are similar in design, some are significantly more successful at capturing dust and dander than smoke.

If scents are an issue, look for a purifier with an activated carbon filter, such as the Coway Airmega 400. Or if you want to improve your overall air quality, search for a purifier that performs well across the board, like the Coway AP-1512HH.
