Is the air you breathe inside your home as clean as you think it is? Everything from gas stoves to aerosols to furniture can emit pollutants. Here are some ways to breathe more easily.

SAN ANTONIO – Running an air purifier in your home can help keep dust, smoke and other allergens at bay, but can it protect you against coronavirus? Where you place an air purifier matters. “The faster an air purifier can exchange air in a room, successfully passing it through its filters, the better its chances of capturing the virus-laden particles,” Dickerson said. You can see how fast an air purifier cleans the surrounding air by looking at its CADR, or clean air delivery rate. An air purifier is not a replacement for distancing, masks and hand-washing.
