Are Air Purifiers Actually Worth It in the UK?
Indoor Air is Toxic
The EPA estimates that indoor air can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air. In the UK, where we seal our homes tight to keep the heat in, pollutants get trapped. Common UK indoor pollutants include: - **VOCs:** From cleaning sprays and furniture. - **NO2:** From gas hobs. - **Mould Spores:** From damp bathrooms. - **Pet Dander:** From our furry friends.
Who Needs One?
If you have allergies, asthma, pets, or live near a busy road, an air purifier is absolutely worth the investment. The improvement in sleep quality and reduction in congestion is often immediate.
Summary
For the price of a coffee a week (in electricity and filters), ensuring the air in your bedroom is clean is one of the best health investments you can make.
