Here is an update on my air purifier use and development.
Here is a link to my
FaceBook album on my developments on air purifiers. It will provide a great deal of information
For five years I've been using a powered air purifying respirator with a filtration manifold that I developed to treat my COPD, which has also caused my other autoimmune conditions to go into remission. However, for the last 6 months I have been using a powered air purifying respirator with the 60926 multi-gas cartridges. It works as well as mine does.
If you are interested in an inexpensive way of finding out whether a multi-gas air purifier will improve your health then click this

To get multigas capable an air purifier has to first have HEPA, then have 2 molecular sieves: activated charcoal and zeolite, plus potassium permanginate.
This is a link to my
Amazon list containing the 3 items I use for my powered air purifying respirator.
I can't recommend any air purifiers that use UV, plasma or ions to purify air because plasma ions and UV increase ambient ozone levels, which is toxic.
If you live in a dry climate then you could use an evaporative cooler as a very effective multi-gas air purifier, as long as its sump is drained daily. And, if it is all plastic, then salt can be added to its sump after daily draining which will help neutralize acid gasses and kill mold spores and bugs.
Multigas air purifiers and respirator cartridges remove VOCs and acid gasses, which most air purifiers don't do. Most air purifiers only have HEPA filters. For MCS and COPD one will need at the very least both HEPA and activated charcoal filters. But multigas cartridges remove it all. In fact I find multi-gas air purifiers are 4 times as effective as HEPA filters at treating my COPD.
The
Austin Air Systems HealthMate Plus Air Purifier is a true multi-gas air purifier, so it is the only air purifier I can recommend.
