Air Purifiers

Do fine chemical air filters actually work, and if so, by what mechanisms?

I live in an extraordinarily polluted environment, and right now, the cost of breaking my lease and problems associated w/ relocating now would exceed the cost of this very expensive air purifier.
http://www.airpurifiers.com/products/iqair/gc-chemisorber.htm
If it works, it’s worth the money (esp. since I have chem sensitivities & allergies, so I’d probably find use for it anywhere), but if it doesn’t, it’s a huge waste for a glorified hepa filter (which is what it’d amount to if the chemical filtration didn’t work).
So my question is, how exactly does it filter out
Sulfur dioxide
Formaldehyde
Carbon dioxide
etc.
I’d be particularly interested to know how it can seriously filter Carbon dioxide, since that’s so prevalent in the air, I’d think that any filter for it’d be worn out within a day. That one in particular makes me question the validity of the product.
The sulfur dioxide, formaldehyde, and particulates from deisel are all very important to me, since these are some of the worst problems in this place, wedged between a factory w/ high sulfur dioxide emissions and an expressway, in a building full of gas stoves and heat, aside from fireplace smoke wafting in from the neighbors on some days.
Can someone with some knowledge of how these advanced air purifiers work please explain this to me? Would I be throwing my money away? (Please note that this is not a small purchase for me, especially looking at the cost and frequency of replacing the filters)

Do air purifiers really work?

I moved into an older house in October and since then, my allergies have been really bad. I was looking into the Rabbit Air purifier but it’s a lot of money to spend without first getting people’s opinions.

Does anyone have personal experience using one? Did you notice a difference? Are they a scam?

Does anyone know if the Sharper Image’s Ionic Breeze air purifier really works?

I’ve seen many negative reviews and some positive. Don’t know whether to take advantage of the money back guarantee…

What is the best air purifier to get? My room is so dusty!?

I’d be will to go 0 as I can see that’s how much an Ionic Breeze costs. I’ll spend good money to get a good product, but I don’t want to get ripped off either.

My room is 13′x11′, so thats roughly 143 sq feet. For some reason, dust just grows in my room–moreso than any other room in the house by at least a factor of 100. And I noticed how quickly my A/C filter gets dusty. What gives?

Anyways, I’d love to hear your own personal experiences dealing with dust, and what you reccomend. I can’t believe I’m breathing all that crap in my lungs.

I saw some at Sharper Image that were quite expensive, I never had one of those, but it supposedly helps clean the air and makes you healthier….true? Is it worth the money spent?

I know they cost a lot of money, but are the ionic breeze air purifiers better that the ones with filters?

Is it possible to make a homemade spray that … ?

disinfects the air? I have made a homemade sanitizer of lightly diluted rubbing alcohol to clean the phones, door knobs, etc. with during cold and flu season. I love to use Oust sanitizing spray to kill germs in the air but would love to save money and eliminate the fragrance of Oust sprays by making my own? Is it possible?
