The answer is two! There are essentially two kinds of air pollution. That\u2019s the principle behind why all we need is two filters.
\nFor every particle\u2014and I mean every particle\u2014a HEPA filter is all you need. They’re nothing fancy. Do HEPAs capture dust mites? Pet dander? Asbestos? Bacteria? Mold? The answer is yes.
\nThe other category of air pollutants is gases. This includes chemicals that usually come from indoors\u2014things like formaldehyde coming from furniture, chemicals coming from cleaning products, and even chemicals coming from wrinkle-free \u201ctreated\u201d clothes. It\u2019s a little bit hard to track down every single gas that carbon can capture, but scientific studies have found that carbon also captures ozone, NO2, and SO2. <\/p>\n
