Cigarette Smoke Air Cleaner
Long-term exposure to smoke, whether it is caused by cigarette smoking, a household fire, or an environmental wildfire, can be detrimental to your health. Cigarette smoking is notorious for leaving behind foul odors and injecting harmful chemicals into the air. Wildfires, household fires, and even minor kitchen fires can also exhaust a dangerous mixture of fine-particulate soot, carbon monoxide, and volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) throughout the air. Smoke from almost any source has the power to exacerbate allergy symptoms and respiratory conditions, leaving you eager for relief. Eliminating these problems takes a special type of air filter.
In order to properly remove smoke and odors caused by cigars, cigarettes, or fires, you must use an air purifier that is equipped with a carbon filter as well as a standard HEPA or similar-grade filter to get rid of airborne particles. As a rule of thumb, the larger the carbon filter, the more absorption of smoke, odors, and chemicals. Treating substantial amounts of tobacco smoke, for instance, requires a filter containing a large quantity of specialized carbon, which will absorb all of the toxic gasses and odors given off by the smoke. Other design features such as increased air flow capability, tar- trapping pre-filters, and multi-chemical removing filters will also help get rid of odors and smoke, as well as the pollution that comes along.
Below is a list of specialty air filters that Sylvane recommends. This range of products includes smoke-removing air purifiers designed for use at home, at the office, or in larger-scale commercial applications. Look for an air cleaner designed to address your specific needs and space requirements.
