Yup, this process is designed to capture specific types of contaminants on each stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, without further ado, let&#8217;s understand the different stages of an air purifier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_84 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"cursor:pointer\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/understanding-the-different-stages-of-an-air-purifier\/#Stages_of_an_Air_Purifier\" >Stages of an Air Purifier<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/understanding-the-different-stages-of-an-air-purifier\/#1_Pre-Filter_Stage\" >1.

Pre-Filter Stage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the first and front-most line of defense in the air purifiers. This stage is responsible for capturing larger particles and contaminants like dust, lint, pollen and even pet hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pre-filter stage also play a crucial role of an air purifier, because by removing these larger particles, the pre-filter helps the more delicate filters, thus prolonging its life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_HEPA_Filter_Stage\"><\/span>2. HEPA Filter Stage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HEPA filters stand for High-Efficiency Particulate Air, these filters are a crucial component of most air purifiers, as these filters capture particles as small as 0,3 microns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, 0,3 microns means that HEPA is able to filter allergens like spores, mold, pollen, pet dander and even bacteria thus making it highly effective at removing microscopic particles from the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Activated_Carbon_or_Charcoal_Filter_Stage\"><\/span>3. Activated Carbon or Charcoal Filter Stage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The activated carbon or charcoal filter is the best at absorbing odors, gasses and chemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means that this stage can help with eliminating common household odors from cooking, smoke and pets thus enhancing the overall freshness of the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Also Read: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/types-of-air-filters\/\">5 Types of Air Filters And Its Pros and Cons<\/a>&#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Germicidal_Light_Stage_or_UV-C\"><\/span>4.

Ionization or Electrostatic Precipitation Stage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Air purifiers with ionizers or electrostatic precipitators work by charging particles in the air with an electrical charge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This method is effective at removing dust, allergens, and even some viruses. But be mindful to choose a purifier with low ozone emissions, since too much ozone can irritate your lungs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Also Read: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/how-to-choose-an-air-purifier\/\">How To Choose an Air Purifier<\/a><\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Photocatalytic_Oxidation_PCO_or_Titanium_Dioxide_Filter_Stage\"><\/span>6. Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO) or Titanium Dioxide Filter Stage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some air purifiers use PCO technology, which is like a one-two punch against nasty smells and pollutants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It works by shining UV light on a special material (usually titanium dioxide), allowing it to break down harmful chemicals (VOCs) and other airborne junk floating around your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So there you are, the different stages of air purifier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, one thing that you should also consider is the safety and quality of your air purifier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Has your air purifier already certified with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/\">SNI Certification<\/a>? Well, the SNI approval is very important, especially in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This type of certification ensures that every product including air purifier has already been tested for its safety and quality, thus making it more assuring for the customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Understanding the different stages of an air purifier is quite helpful to understand how this<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":603,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[56,8],"class_list":["post-600","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-air-purifier","tag-sni"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/600","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=600"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/600\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=600"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=600"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=600"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
