According to the online source Healthline.com, clean air is important for everyone, but especially those who have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and those who are more sensitive to indoor pollution and irritants. These include smoke, radon, and other chemicals that can enter your home through open doors, windows, and your ventilation system. Other indoor pollutants include cleaning products, dust mites, and mold. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency states that these indoor pollutants are two to five times more problematic than outdoor pollutants.

Using a stand-alone air purifier in your home helps sanitize the air by removing fine particles like pollutants and allergens, and works by filtering the air in one room. They work differently than do the filters built into HVAC systems, which filter your entire home, and can be very costly. Stand-alone purifiers are much more economical.

Research suggests that reducing particles and allergens in the air may ease lung symptoms associated with COPD. Studies also show that air cleaners are effective in capturing allergens and dust particles, which help people who suffer from asthma. There is also evidence regarding improvement of blood vessel function, which contributes to better heart health.
