My background entails 25+ year of medical communications & award-winning graphics. With that said, I know just enough to be dangerous. After EXTENSIVE research, I purchased 3x air purifiers for my home while teaching unvaccinated 3, 4 & 5 yr old during Covid 19. Well, I survived THAT & 13 x negative Covid 19 tests only to learn my school is INFESTED w/Toxic Black Mold. Subsequently, my air filters are currently aiding me re: allergens & SEVERE respiratory distress. However, during 1 of 3 hospitalizations related to the mold issue, I was told by a Pulmonologist that the UV feature [on purifiers in general] exacerbate asthma by emitting ozone. Wish I had known this BEFORE I planted my face in this purifier trying to breathe prior to hospitalization.
Please note: the UV feature can be turned off.
