Best Air Purifiers For Smoke, Dust, Chemicals And Mold Spores Coming From Wood Stoves, Pellet Stoves And Coal Stoves
Customers call us for typical problems: the smoke, dust, and odors produced by wood stoves, pellet stoves, coal stoves, and wood-fired furnaces that are triggering allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems.
Most of the time, these problem areas are isolated and are closer to where the stove or furnace is operating in the home.
Most customers do not realize that wood logs often contain large amounts of mold as well as dangerous chemicals that include the following:
- Pesticides
- fungicides,
- Herbicides
These chemicals that are imbedded into the smoke are hazardous to your lungs, blood, and immune system when the burning wood, pellet, or coal stove smoke works its way through the home and into your body!
Burning coal will free these toxic elements into the indoor air from the coal! These toxins include arsenic, fluor, thallium, selenium, lead, cadmium, mercury, sulfur dioxide, and, depending on where the coal is mined from, uranium. These elements can form chemically toxic compounds that can induce damage to the body's bones, teeth, nervous system, skin and other organs in the body!
Pellet stoves that burn wood pellets are the safest and produce the least toxic smoke. This is because pellets burn extremely hot. This high heat does an excellent job of burning out the chemical toxins out to destroy any impurities before they can contaminate the indoor air environment.
Also, please know that it is imperative to remember all types of fuel-burning stoves! Always keep a safe amount of outside ventilation air coming into the home to dilute and prevent any possible dangerous amounts of carbon monoxide and toxic outgassing chemicals from building up in the home's indoor air while heating up the stove.
A quality HEPA air purifier with multiple pounds of activated carbon and a quality UV (ultraviolet light system) is the absolute best choice for keeping these areas free of smoke, dust, odors, chemicals, and mold spores.
Place one of our portable HEPA air cleaners in the room where your wood stove or furnace is operating, and it will do an excellent job of keeping your indoor air environment free of smoke, chemical dusts, odors, and mold spores in open areas up to 2,000 square feet.
Often our customers will also place another HEPA air purifier into the bedroom(s) for extra dust, allergy, and asthma control and to keep these areas safe and clean for a more healthy, restful, and better nights sleep with more productive days.
All so-called whole house air cleaner systems do not operate as advertised. This is because they cannot circulate the dirty air throughout an entire house and back into the air filtration system. The dirt and dust are too heavy to stay suspended in the indoor air to reach the filtration system.
Because of this fact, these whole-house air cleaners are only 30 percent efficient at best. If they did work well, we would be selling them. High-quality portable HEPA air purifiers are your best choice to control the smoke and the chemicals within the smoke coming from the wood stoves, pellet stoves, coal stoves, wood furnace smoke, dust, chemicals, mold spores, and odors in your home.
