空气净化器真的可以移除PM2.5吗?

我也有过一样的疑问—空气净化器真能捕捉PM2.5这样微小的颗粒物吗?我对此存疑是因为之前看到的都是空气净化器移除花粉的实验,而花粉一般都在10微米或者更大。所以我对它们能否清除2.5微米或更小的颗粒物有点怀疑。

 

 

后来我直接去买了个激光颗粒物测试仪,我买的那个测试仪可以探测0.5微米或者更大的颗粒物。

 

 

我把测试仪放在我北京的公寓里,如下图:

 

 

看看我打开净化器以后房间里0.5微米的颗粒物发生了什么变化:

 

 

我用其他三个净化器也得出了相似的结果。总体来说它们在整夜测试中都能够清除80-90%的0.5微米的颗粒物。

 

更小的颗粒物呢? 

很长一段时间我都觉得就是这样了,我看过的关于HEPA滤网(就是这些净化器里用的滤网)的文章都说它们会捕捉0.3微克或者更大的颗粒物。所以我以为它们对更小的颗粒物并不管用。

 

 

然而事实证明我错了。其实HEPA滤网更容易过滤掉那些小于0.5微米的颗粒物(感谢布朗运动)。举个栗子?,这是一个(跟我一样的)书呆子做的测试,他用一个能检测0.01微米颗粒物的测试仪给7个大牌净化器分别做了10分钟测试。

 

 

他测试的几个净化器捕捉的超级微小的颗粒物和(浅蓝色)和大的颗粒物(深蓝色)差不多一样多。

 

 

结论:带HEPA的空气净化器可以清除PM2.5—即便是最小的PM2.5污染物颗粒。

 

所以请放心呼吸!

 

另外:大的空气净化器公司经常用这个关于HEPA的误解来向你推销他们自己“靠谱儿”的产品,比如这个流行的Molekule净化器

 

 

现在你看了测试数据,就不会再被这种说法骗了!

Thank you!

Pretty amazing results. Strange that Molekine claims that pm0.3 and smaller isn’t absorbed by HEPA – they even have a scientific study done to prove that. What’d you make of that scientific study?
