Air Filters/Purifiers are useful in high particulate or poor air quality living and working environments. Useful in heavily polluted metro cities and poorly ventilated workspaces with technology devices that introduce air pollutants e.g. computer printers.
- Consider plant essential oil diffusers that insert health promoting essences into room air versus dept. store deodorizers that mask odors with synthetic perfumes.
Oil Diffusers put hhealthylubricating ingredients into the air.
