When Do You Need an Air Scrubber?

An air scrubber, also known as an air purifier or air cleaner, is typically used when there are concerns about the quality of indoor air. 

Here are some situations in which you might need an air scrubber:

1. Poor Air Quality:

If you live in an area with high levels of pollution, or if there's a temporary increase in pollution due to wildfires, industrial activities, or construction, an air scrubber with HEPA filter can help remove particulate matter and pollutants from the air.

2. Allergies and Asthma:

For individuals who suffer from allergies or asthma, an air scrubber with a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter can be highly beneficial. It can help remove allergens like pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and dust mites from the air.

3. Mold Remediation:

If you've had a mold problem in your home, using an air scrubber with a HEPA filter can help capture and remove airborne mold spores during the remediation process.

4. Renovation or Construction:

During home renovation or construction projects, there can be a significant amount of dust, particulate matter, and potentially harmful chemicals released into the air. An air scrubber can help maintain a cleaner and healthier indoor environment during such activities.

5. Smoke and Odor Removal:

In situations where smoke is a concern (such as from tobacco, wildfires, or cooking), or if there are persistent odors from pets, cooking, or other sources, an air scrubber with an activated carbon filter can help absorb and neutralize these odors.

6. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs):

If you've recently painted, used cleaning chemicals, or have furniture and flooring that emit VOCs, an air scrubber with an activated carbon filter can help reduce the levels of these potentially harmful compounds.

7. Sick Building Syndrome:

In some cases, buildings may have indoor air quality issues that lead to symptoms like headaches, fatigue, and respiratory problems. An air scrubber can be used to improve the overall air quality.

8. Sensitive Populations:

Individuals with compromised immune systems, respiratory conditions, or other health issues may benefit from the use of an air scrubber to ensure a cleaner and safer indoor environment.

Remember, it's important to choose an air scrubber that is appropriate for the specific pollutants or contaminants you're concerned about. Different filters are designed to capture different types of particles and gases. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation and maintenance.
