There are so many reasons to consider buying an air purifier under normal circumstances, like the desire to breathe in clean, fresh O2. But it’s especially crucial during allergy and flu season.
Plus, with COVID cases spiking again, cold and flu viruses on the rise, and fall allergens lurking around, you may be especially conscious of your air quality at the moment. A quality air purifier can help suck pathogens out of the air you breathe and leave crisp, purified oxygen in its wake. And, if you have pets, an air purifier can also pull dander out of your air, ultimately helping you (and your pets!) to breathe easier.
