"[Air purifiers] are helpful for larger particle allergens like animal dander and mold," Dr. Purvi Parikh, MD, allergist with Allergy & Asthma Network tells Refinery29. "They can filter dust mites and pollens as well." Her surefire recommendation for finding the right one? "Make sure you use one with HEPA [high-efficiency particulate air] technology," she says, which means it is designed to remove at least 99.97% of airborne particles with a size of 0.3 microns.
One more thing to keep in mind is that, in this case, size does matter: "[What model best fits your needs] depends on how large the area you are filtering," Parikh explains. "The bedroom is one of the most important rooms to filter since we all spend a lot of time at home, but I would also filter the space you work in most."
