Consumer Council Teaches You How to Choose an Air Purifier
Hong Kong's dense population and persistent air pollution issues, coupled with the recent outbreak of influenza viruses, have led to the market launching numerous air purifiers that claim to disinfect and remove viruses. Consumers should be aware of how to choose from the numerous products available. The 572nd issue of the Consumers' Council magazine teaches you how to choose an air purifier, and consumers should pay attention to the following points:
Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR):
CADR values measure an air purifier's ability to remove smoke, dust, and pollen.
The higher the CADR value, the faster the purification speed and performance.
Actual Coverage Area:
Manufacturers often state the room size coverage, but this can vary depending on the pollution level.
The Consumers' Council recommends that manufacturers provide the CADR and test standards, not just the room coverage area.
Removal of Formaldehyde and Viruses:
Removing formaldehyde and viruses is an important consideration for air purifiers.
Formaldehyde: New furniture and decorations can increase indoor formaldehyde levels, which can irritate the eyes, ears, nose, and respiratory system, and even cause allergies.
Viruses: Virus removal effectiveness is affected by factors like placement, operating time, and room size. Long-term filter use can also impact virus removal performance, requiring regular replacement or cleaning.
Air Purifier Usage Considerations:
Filter replacement and maintenance: Regularly replace filters and clean the purifier to prevent harmful substances from re-entering the indoor air.
Filtration does not equal disinfection: Reducing air pollutant concentrations may not necessarily alleviate asthma and other allergy symptoms.
Improving air quality: Controlling pollution sources and maintaining air circulation are more important than relying solely on air purifiers.
Window selection: If windows face a busy road, they should be closed or used for exhaust only, with fresh air drawn from cleaner windows.
Energy savings: Unplug the device or use a dedicated power switch to reduce electricity consumption after use.
