It’s funny how pre-COVID, the number of people looking for air purifiers and purification systems. In fact, in 2021 more than 2,000 schools across 44 states bought air purifiers to ease the worry of parents across the nation.
To answer the question as to whether or not air purifiers work against COVID-19, we like to turn to the Environmental Protection Agency. They state the following:
“When used properly, air cleaners and HVAC filters can help reduce airborne contaminants including viruses in a building or small space… When used along with other best practices recommended by CDC and other public health agencies, including social distancing and mask wearing, filtration can be part of a plan to reduce the potential for airborne transmission of COVID-19 indoors.
Air cleaners and HVAC filters are designed to filter pollutants or contaminants out of the air that passes thru them. Air cleaning and filtration can help reduce airborne contaminants, including particles containing viruses. Portable air cleaners (also known as air purifiers) may be particularly helpful when additional ventilation with outdoor air is not possible without compromising indoor comfort (temperature or humidity), or when outdoor air pollution is high.” – Snippet taken from EPA.Gov
Do Air Purifiers Work Against COVID?
The answer is this: while air purification systems can work at removing viruses and other airborne particles from your air, unless you are practicing social-distancing, wearing masks, disinfecting your hands/wearing gloves while out and about, an air purification system can not 100% protect you from COVID – but it certainly can help minimize the risk.
Even this may not be enough! When was the last time you had your HVAC serviced? If you leave your HVAC filters without maintenance every 6 months, it’s no surprise that airborne bacteria and viruses may be running amuck throughout your home or office.
The Best Kind of Air Purification System for My Home
Bipolar ionization is a technology that can be used in your home air purification system. Essentially this process creates positively and negatively charged particles which helps remove viruses, including the SARS-2-CoV (the virus that causes COVID-19) and can also facilitate surface disinfection within a treated area.
Keep in mind, this technology requires manufacturers to have to demonstrate its efficacy due to it still being an emerging technology. What IS available on the market and tried, tested and proven is the Airmaster Ultra™.

While there are several Signs You Have Bad Indoor Air Quality, here are some facts about the Airmaster Ultra ™ that may put your mind at ease while any bipolar ionization processes are being perfected.
