Pollution levels are increasing rapidly in India. Especially as the winter season approaches, the level of pollution in Delhi and other North Indian states becomes frightening. To avoid this, people use masks and air purifiers. Let us know today in this news how many types of air purifiers are there and how they work.
How do air purifiers work?
As the name implies, an air purifier is a device designed to clean the air. This machine helps in removing pollutants, dust, smoke and other harmful particles from the air. Actually, the air purifier draws the air from the place where it is installed and then filters it and releases it. Let us now know how many types of air purifiers there are.
First HEPA Air Purifier
HEPA means High Efficiency Particulate Air Purifier. This is the most popular air purifier. This air purifier can remove up to 99.97% of small particles i.e. up to 0.3 microns. Apart from this, HEPA filters are also capable of removing particles like PM2.5 and PM10.
Carbon air purifier at number two
These purifiers use activated carbon to clean the air. Their main function is to absorb gases and bad odors. Apart from this, carbon air purifier is also useful in removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and smoke.
UV light air purifier at number three
The job of UV (Ultraviolet) light purifier is to filter bacteria, viruses and fungi present in the air. To eliminate these things, this air purifier uses UV light. In simple language, this purifier mainly works against microbial pollution.
Know about electrostatic air purifiers
Electrostatic air purifiers use electrostatic charges. These purifiers give positive or negative charge to the air particles, due to which the polluted particles gather together. Let us tell you, electrostatic air purifiers are capable of removing pollutants like PM2.5 and PM10. Apart from this, there are also plasma air purifiers and hybrid air purifiers.
