In this guide, we take a look at common questions about using air purifiers in the office. Air purifiers are an important tool to reduce COVID-19 spread in the office and are recommended by the Government.
1. Why Use Air Purifiers in the Office?
Studies show HEPA air purifiers in the office greatly improve worker productivity, ability to focus, and response time. They are also proven tools to reduce virus spread including the flu and COVID-19.
In addition, air purifiers with HEPA filters improve the long-term health of office workers, including helping lower high blood pressure and reducing risks of cancers, heart disease, and diabetes.
2. Do Air Purifiers Really Reduce COVID-19 Spread Indoors?
Yes, a recent CDC study showed concrete evidence that HEPA air purifiers reduce COVID-19 spread indoors. The study showed HEPA air purifiers reduced COVID-19 spread in schools by 41%.
3. What Are the Best Office Air Purifiers for COVID-19 Protection?
The best type of air purifier for offices to use against COVID-19 is a HEPA filter air purifier. HEPA filter air purifiers are highly effective at filtering out particles the same size as COVID-19. For this reason, the CDC recommends HEPA air purifiers as the air purifier of choice in offices.
The CDC does not recommend air purifiers with extra add-ons such as UV-lights and ionizers. This is because these add-ons increase cost and may pose an additional health risk for employees in the office.
