Air purifiers remove pollution such as fine particles, pollen, dust and VOCs (volatile organic compounds). Some purifiers, can effectively fight against viruses as COVID 19.
To choose the right air purifier, you first need to determine the surface area of the room to be purified, and take into account a number of its components. Curtains, or a carpet for example, will retain dust and fine particles more easily than a parquet floor. The presence of pets can also be an aggravating factor in indoor air pollution, due to their hair.
Finally, it's important to determine the geographical location of your home. A home near a road with heavy traffic is likely to be more polluted than one in the heart of a forest.
Particle filtration :
The air is absorbed by the unit via its filters, then released back into the ambient air, free of pollutants. Filters can also be combined with activated charcoal to reduce VOCs and odors. This filtration technology is recommended by the French National Food Safety Agency (Anses).
Negative ionization :
This process consists of diffusing health-friendly negative ions into the ambient air. Thanks to an electrostatic phenomenon, the negative ions attach themselves to positively-charged airborne pollutants. Once weighed down, the fine particles fall naturally to the ground.
UV lamp or photo-catalytic filter:
This technology is based on the degradation of pollutants by the action of light rays on the surface of a titanium dioxide plate (catalyst). The DNA of the pollutants is thus altered. This type of process has not been validated by Anses, as the fragmented DNA of the pollutants is released into the ambient air…
At air and me, you'll find a wide range of air purifiers with HEPA particle filtration technology. Some of our devices also feature negative ionization. As devices with UV lamps are expensive and do not meet the criteria defined by Anses, they are not sold by the brand.
The use of an air purifier in a professional context is different from its use in a domestic context. In fact, several criteria need to be taken into account, such as the nature of the surfaces to be treated. Purifying a beauty salon requires more filtration than an open-plan office. In addition to the technical and aesthetic aspects of the appliance, the purifier's many functions must also be taken into account. A low-noise or programmable device will enable you to work in a more favorable environment.
Some air purifiers are medical-grade and have a higher filtration capacity than those intended for domestic use. In the medical sector, as in public areas, wall-mounting makes cleaning and disinfecting floors easier. It also reduces the risk of theft.

Using an air purifier can offer many benefits, especially in environments where air quality is compromised. Here are a few reasons why it's beneficial to use one:
In summary, an air purifier not only improves indoor air quality but also contributes to the health and well-being of occupants by reducing pollutant concentrations and creating a healthier indoor environment.
Here’s an overview of the main technologies used to purify indoor air, with their advantages and disadvantages:
Air purifiers equipped with HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are particularly recommended for asthmatic individuals for several reasons:
1. Filtration Efficiency: HEPA filters can capture up to 99.97% of airborne particles measuring 0.3 microns or larger, including common allergens such as dust, pollen, mold spores, and pet dander. These particles are often asthma triggers, and their removal helps reduce attacks and symptoms.
2. Allergen Reduction: For asthmatics, who are often sensitive to allergens, HEPA filters’ ability to trap microscopic particles can significantly improve indoor air quality and reduce respiratory irritations.
3. Prevention of Respiratory Infections: HEPA filters can also trap certain bacteria and viruses suspended in the air, reducing the risk of respiratory infections that can worsen asthma.
4. Improvement of Quality of Life: By purifying the air, HEPA air purifiers create a healthier and more breathable environment for asthmatics, helping better control the condition and reduce dependency on medication. In summary, air purifiers with HEPA filters are recommended for asthmatics because they effectively filter fine particles and allergens that can exacerbate asthma symptoms, contributing to better disease control.
Using air purifiers at the office, especially in meeting rooms, presents several important advantages for employee health and well-being. Here are some of the main benefits:
Air purifiers remove fine particles, allergens, bacteria, viruses, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in indoor air. In offices, where windows are often closed and air is recycled through ventilation systems, this helps maintain a healthier atmosphere.
By removing pathogens and allergens, air purifiers can help reduce the spread of respiratory illnesses like colds, flu, or allergies. This is particularly important in shared spaces such as meeting rooms, where many people gather and exchange air.
A study conducted by Harvard University showed that indoor air quality can significantly impact cognitive performance. Offices with well-ventilated air and low levels of indoor pollution showed improved strategic decision-making and employee productivity.
Healthier work environments can lead to a reduction in absenteeism. A study by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States demonstrated that improving indoor air quality can reduce sick days, enhance employee well-being, and even improve overall job satisfaction.
By creating a clean and healthy work environment, companies can improve employee morale, which can have a positive effect on general well-being and talent retention.
This study, led by Harvard University, examined the effect of indoor air quality on workers' cognitive performance. Results showed that individuals working in environments with better air quality scored higher on cognitive function tests, underscoring the importance of maintaining clean air in workspaces.
The EPA has published several studies showing that improving indoor air quality can reduce symptoms associated with allergies and asthma, lower the risk of respiratory diseases, and improve employee satisfaction. Better indoor air quality is also associated with a reduction in absenteeism.
Another study found that air purification in office environments reduced asthma and allergy symptoms among employees, leading to better overall health and increased productivity.
In conclusion, using air purifiers in offices, particularly in meeting rooms, is beneficial not only for employee health but also for their productivity and overall job satisfaction. Maintaining clean air can thus be a worthwhile investment for companies looking to optimize their working conditions.
