Can an air purifier help with allergies?

Posted by Meaco Ireland on 2nd Jun 2022

There are a lot of things floating around in the air you breathe in your home, and some of these can trigger physical reactions and exacerbate allergies.

The air in your home contains a wide range of particles. There will almost certainly be dust mites. If you have a pet, there will be dander from fur and skin. If you live near a busy road, there will also be particles that come from vehicle pollution. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can also get into the air from everyday cleaning products as well as products for home maintenance and DIY you may be doing.

If you’re concerned about the quality of the air in your home and how it impacts your allergies, it’s worth considering buying an air purifier. It will certainly help to reduce the quantity of unfriendly particles in the air, giving you a fresher, cleaner air environment. 

What does an air purifier do?

An air purifier is designed to trap tiny particles in the air and push out cleaner, filtered air. An air purifier is a great option to help clean the air, reduce bacteria and viruses, remove airborne allergens and particles, providing cleaner air to help improve your breathing environment.

Do all air purifiers help with allergies?

Whether your air purifier will work for allergies depends on what sort of air purifier you buy. You should choose a unit that has a HEPA filter to be sure of removing most of the particles from the air. These filters are extremely fine, so can trap smaller particles much more efficiently than general air purifiers.

It’s worth noting that there are lots of things that can trigger an allergy, and that an air purifier may not be the complete solution you need. It will, however, give you cleaner, fresher air, remove much of the particle matter that’s in your air and make for a better home environment. And that, alongside any treatment or medication you have for the allergy problems in your household, should help.
