What are VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)? Source: EPA.gov Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids. VOCs include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. Concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors (up to ten times higher) than outdoors. VOCs are emitted by a wide array of products numbering in the thousands. Where can they commonly found? Do we need to improve the air quality in our home? Source: EPA.gov Source: NY Times Improving Home Air Quality Source: EPA.gov Source: health.harvard.edu Conclusion: Will a portable air filter help improve home air quality? Yes. Most portable air cleaners and furnace/HVAC filters can filter particles from the air. Some can filter the small particles of greatest health concern (PM2.5). There are also air cleaners and filters that can filter both particles and gases. The longer the air cleaner runs, the more air it filters. Note that it is always important to reduce or remove the sources of indoor air pollutants and to ventilate with clean outdoor air. Filtration does not replace the need to control pollutants and ventilate. - epa.gov Can I test the air in my house? Yes, an indoor air quality monitor can be purchased.
