Can Air Purifiers Help with Hay Fever?
Creating a Sanctuary
Pollen grains are actually quite large compared to viruses or smoke. This means even a budget HEPA air purifier captures them easily (99.97% efficiency). The goal is not to clean the whole house—that is impossible if you open doors—but to create a **Bedroom Sanctuary**. By running a purifier in the bedroom 24/7 (and keeping the window closed!), you reduce the pollen count to near zero while you sleep.
The Evaluation
Users who run a purifier in the bedroom report significantly less "morning congestion" and itchy eyes. It gives your immune system an 8-hour break every night.
Summary
Yes, they help massively. Just remember: keep the bedroom door and window shut for it to work.
