Description:
Using air cleaners to remove pollutants from indoor air is part an integrated indoor air quality strategy. Air cleaners can be used either alone or in combination with other control options when source control and improvements in ventilation are insufficient, impractical, or otherwise not possible. The air cleaner research program includes research on particulate and gaseous air cleaners. The objectives of research on both types of air cleaners are to develop methods for determining the performance of air cleaners, determine the effectiveness of available air cleaners, provide guidance to the public on the effective use of air cleaners, and develop ways for improving the application of air cleaners for indoor air quality control.
