Air Purifiers

Tanning used to heal the rash,but now I’m sun sensitive. I’ve had biopsies since 17,told everything from mites,animal scabies,to live elsewhere. I’ve always had dry skin & living in WI my problems get worse in fall,winter,spring.I’ve been diagnosed with:Eczematous dermatitis,Eczema,Atopic dermatitis,& Asteatatic dermatitis,plus a nerve rash.I’ve seen numerous allergists,dermatologist nothing works that they gave me.Olux foam helps on my scalp,getting a perm used to help for awhile.I have a space guard media pleated filter system on my furnace,4 Hunter air purifiers with hepa filters.I lived in a house without forced air heating,that didn’t help at all.I would appreciate ANY help from a DR. or someone experiencing this. No one else in my family has anything like this.Please help?
I have had allergy testing done 3 times,have seen 5 dermatologists over the years had 5 biopsies done.It is NOT an allergy,nor is it psoriasis.I listed the skin conditions I’ve finally been diagnosed with in the last year.

Is there a vacuum out there it is a certified air purifier? I recently learned that vacuums blow out dust, even ones with expensive hepa filters leak some form of bacteria into the air.

I’m looking for facts only, not opinions. Sources preferred.
If you take a high power flashlight and shine it at the exhaust, you can see dust coming out. Even on the new dysons, orecks and kirbys.

ok so which is better… UV-C purifiers or those ionic breeze things or hepa filters or what? im lookin below 0 range and its a small bedroom proably around 15×20 feet

I learned that the Sharp air purifiers’ HEPA filters have an Apatite component to it that apparently provides antibacterial properties to protect the filters from microbial accumulation. Is Apatite a relatively "safe" material to use for an air filter, i.e. is it safe for the resident who is breathing air that comes through the filter? Apatite (a very general term) is usually made up of phosphorus and calcium, but some variants (ie. arsenates like mimemite) may contain arsenic. Could this be a health issue for users? Would the filters use arsenic-based variants in the first place, or are other forms more prevalent and likely to be used in medical/industrial applications?

I was looking at the Sharper Image Hybrid GP Germicidal Air Purifier. I would get it for like 0. Which is 0 less than advertised. But i heard that they are NOT very good because they dont push enough air through the filter unlike other HEPA filters which supposedly do. Is that true? I also do know that they save a lot of energy compared to other brand filters and you dont have to buy 0 replacement filters every year. I need help please. Also can you please post some reference links. Thank you very much.

Thanks, UK Export. So, from my understanding, most of the apatite used in industrial/consumer applications is manufactured or refined (to remove impurities like As), is that correct? Which are some of the companies who sell synthesized/refined apatite?

What about the mined apatite? Are they used for anything other than for decorative/esthetic gemstones? Thanks again.

I just bought that, and it says it has an Ionizer in this. I read about Ionizers and it releases bad Ozones into the area that can cause chest pains, Does HEPA filters prevent that from happening? or do I turn the Ionizer off? or just leave it on and turn it off when I am not in the room?

It says it only fits a (13X13) room .. the room I want to use this for is a school classroom that is atleast 20X20. If i put this purifier in a spot i believe the air is at its worse, will it work for a 13X13 area from that point forward or does this product become completely useless when its in a room any larger then (13X13).

Also, i am trying to find an air purifier in the 0-0 for a larger sized room, so if you have other suggestion please list
