I bought an air purifier for my room because my dad chain smokes in the house. The box said its for a 16X10 room, but my room is much smaller than that. I keep it on all the time. Is it bad to have it on so much? I thought it may be due to the fact of drying out the air. I noticed my lips dry out a lot. Can it also dry out my nasal and eye areas and cause damage.
My dad smokes in the house and so does our neighbors. Because I live in a country with a temperate climate, our only source of ventilation is our window and doors, which does not work very well sometimes. I’m worried for the health of my mother as well as siblings and am looking to get an air purifier that will help trap the particles and carcinogens found in second hand smoke. I’ve heard that some kind work better than others, but that there might be side effects and all. So can anyone help me decide what kind is best? I’ve tried to get my dad to stop smoking or to smoke outside but it’s a hard habit to break.
I moved into a duplex a couple months ago. I have a electric ac unit and my heater is a gas unit. its central air. Recently it has been freezing up on me every time I turn it on. My dad said that its cause I havnt changed the air filter, but I cant even find a filter. I took the paneling off of the heater/ac and I also unscrewwed the biggest vent and I still cant find a filter. Any help on where it might be?
I’m intrested in getting a rotweiller dog but I am concered about the dander because my grandpa and my dad are highly allergic to dander.
If I get a HEPA air purifier, encourage the dog to stay outside during nice days, use a special shampoo, special brush, and wips for the dog that eliminate dander. Will my grandpa and dad no longer have allergies?
Thank you for your time

During a sleepover at my friend’s house, I woke up having to crap sooo badly, So I went to the bathroom, And I didn’t realize the toilet seat was up because it was so dark, of course I fell butt-first in nasty toilet water! I didn’t scream tough, Cause I had to crap. So I wiped myself off and took care of business, But it smelled horried! I got real dizzy and nearly fell in the toilet, But I didn’t. I tried to find a air freshener and accidentally knocked down her dad’s shaving cream!! It made a loud noise, But luckily, No one woke up, After ten mintues of searching, I finally found a air sanitizer, I sprayed it everywhere, And it just made the smell worse! Then, I heard somebody’s door open in the hall, So I quickly put the air freshener down and ran back to my friend’s room, Whoever it was, I guess had to use the bathroom too, Because not so long I heard gagging and coughing, I was soo embarrassed! Now I’m too afriad to show my face outside anymore!!

We ate taco bell!
I’m in the market for an air purifier and I’m not sure which kind I should get. I’ve taken a look at some, and I’m not sure which would fit my needs. I first took a look at some HEPA filters, since I know they filter 99.99% of air particulates. But I also knew that they’re usually loud, you have to change the 0 filter every other month and they take up a lot of energy. I saw a Kenmore Envirosense filter and though it looked nice, but still; the hassle with expensive filters and energy. Before I go on, I should say the men in my family (My dad, brother and me) all have asthma, so we need something that would help with that. We also took a look at some models over at Brookstone. We found a Pure-Ion Advanced Air Purifier. The thing was ugly, but it worked, saying you would have 80% cleaner air in about 8 minutes. This isn’t a HEPA filter, but it had a fan. They say this one helps with asthma, but I’m not sure. Another one from Brookstone was the Blueair HEPA filter, one that was more
impressive than the Pure-Ion. This one came in a tabletop form, but still, the filters and the whopping price tag of 0.
Anyways, after that, we went to the Oreck store because we heard about some kinda amazing deal on TV, letting us try an Oreck Air purifier, vacuum, and a refrigerator purifier. one of Oreck’s points was "You can’t clean the air if you can’t move it", which made perfect sense to me, but there was one trick up my sleeve that made me think otherwise. Anyways, the Oreck one was impressive, requireing no filters and taking up much less noise and space and eating less eletricity than HEPA filters. However, when compared other filters like this one, it ranked the lowest, but I’ve never tried it, so I really wouldn’t know. After that, came our last stop which would be the trick up my sleeve. We went into The Sharper Image immediately seeing their crown acheivement, the Ionic Breeze Quadra, the purifier I had heard about long before the other filters, so I had somewhat of a bias towards it. Like many other purifiers, these use ions and electrons and stuff like that to clean the air
And it game in multiple models, the Tabletop version, the MIDI, the Quadra, the GP, and the Hybrid GP, which is some huge powerful air purifier. The GP caught my eye because It offered deep cleaning without an over-the-top price tag. These however, don’t use fans. So I had no clue how it was cleaning all the air. An explanation from you guys would be helpful. If you guys have owned or used these fiulters, please tell me and how you liked them. Especially if it help with your asthma.
