Of benefit or not?

Hi. I've been looking at air purifiers and particle filters for use in the home. Are there evaluations of these and, if they are of use, can they be supplied on the NHS?

It does rather depend on the local air quality and whether you live near a busy road producing a lot of dust or another source of dust. If you have allergies then make sure you get a HEPA filter. I use 2 of them because I keep a parrot (use to be 2 of them).

I am not sure whether they would be available on the NHS, it maybe possible if you have allergies that are life threatening.

I don't know about machines but I use nature's way viz. I use plants some to purify the air some to provide oxygen some to do both, viz. Peace Lilies, Spider Plants and English Ivy but there are many more if you do an online search - in my mind plants are better and nicer to look at than machine but a matter of personal - good luck xxx
