How do air purifiers for dust work? 

An air purifier for dust works by drawing in the air and filtering out the dust particles through various technologies. These technologies include HEPA filters and activated carbon filters. 

• HEPA filters: HEPA filters are high-efficiency particulate air filters that can capture even the smallest dust particles. They work by trapping the dust particles in a dense mesh of fibers, preventing them from reentering the air.  
• Blueair air purifiers uses HEPASilent™ technology. By combining traditional mechanical filtration with electrostatic charging of particles, our air purifiers delivers maximum filtration4 with minimum noise5. The combination of two technologies ensures the removal of at least 99.97% of airborne particles down to 0.1 microns2. 
• Activated carbon filters: Activated carbon filters are effective in removing odours and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air. They work by adsorbing the dust particles and other pollutants onto the surface of the activated carbon.
