definitely, it's making a difference to our health.
I'd want to see citations showing that (absent serious allergies) there's any health benefit to "purified" air.
Not only do I have trouble seeing normal ambient air (like with my windows open) as a problem, but there is some reason to think that "impurities" may be beneficial, to a degree. For example, there are some studies showing that peanut allergies may be caused by failure to expose kids to allergens early-on. And others showing that giving your immune system something constructive to do can (a) help keep it strong (this evidence is probably weaker); and (b) help with some auto-immune disorders.
- henvic 6y agoI don't have a serious allergy I know of, but I'm sleeping better, and I'm sure that at least some of the dirt I remove from the purifier regularly would be floating in the air. I don't say you're wrong, and I don't have anything against being out in the open, but not everyone lives in the middle of nowhere with good air quality (besides things such as allergies, dog fur all around, etc.).
