When Air Quality Suffers Outdoors, TruSens Helps Indoors.

Lock in fresh air with TruSens

When the air quality outside reaches dangerous levels, the Environmental Protection Agency (USA) recommends creating a clean room in your home. An air purifier can help.

Clean Air Oasis

Choose a comfy room that fits your whole family (pets too!). Close the doors and windows and, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tells us, continuously run an air purifier that’s big enough for the room, to circulate the cleanest possible air. TruSens Medium and Large purifiers will display the room’s air quality index (AQI): the same measure the EPA uses to define healthy air. And with SensorPod, the purifier will measure the AQI and automatically adjust its speed accordingly.

Wildfire air filtration questions

  • Wildfires and indoor air quality.
  • Can air purifiers help?
  • Wildfire smoke indoors.
  • HEPA filter and wildfire smoke.
  • What to look for when buying a purifier.
Wildfires and indoor air quality. Chevron Icon

Smoke caused by wildfires can make the outdoor air unhealthy to breathe—which can impact indoor air quality in your home or work. Local officials may advise you to stay indoors during a smoke event and the EPA recommends a portable air cleaner that is the right size for the room to remove smoke particles.

Can air purifiers help? Chevron Icon

Sometimes! Air purifiers that use High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters and Electrostatic Precipitators (ESPs) can certainly help reduce indoor particle levels, provided the air purifier is the right size for the room, and doors and windows are kept shut. Make sure your purifier is not an ozone generator, as that may increase indoor air pollution. TruSens air purifiers use both HEPA filtration and UV-C light. 

Wildfire smoke indoors. Chevron Icon

Wildfire smoke has a way of moving far distances. Check the EPA’s air quality index listing to learn about the outdoor air quality in your area. If there’s smoke outdoors, there is likely smoke indoors: It contains fine particles that can get into your eyes and respiratory system. Be sure to reduce indoor sources of pollution to lower the concentrations of particles: During a smoke event, avoid burning candles or incense, smoking tobacco products, using aerosol products, and, of course, don’t use a gas or wood-burning stove or fireplace. Another step is air filtration.

HEPA filter and wildfire smoke. Chevron Icon

HEPA filters remove tiny particulate matter down to 0.3 microns. These ultrafine bits are the most common and dangerous component of wildfire smoke, which can be blown far beyond the actual fire. HEPA filters typically come with replaceable carbon pre-filters that also remove the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in wildfire smoke (benzene, acrolein and formaldehyde, for example). Pre-filters take care of larger particles such as pollen, too.

What to look for when buying a purifier. Chevron Icon

Most importantly, make sure the unit uses HEPA filtration. Other filter types and air purification methods may not filter the smallest particulates, which causes the greatest health problems, and some are ozone generators — which isn’t good for you (or the planet).

Other key considerations:

  • Room size. Buy the right unit to fit the room where you’ll use it most frequently. Bedrooms are great for creating a “clean room” during a smoke event. But with the integrated handle, TruSens purifiers can easily be moved from room to room.
  • Filter maintenance. ​ HEPA filters must be replaced from time to time. Pre-filters help extend the life of the filter and the TruSens Z-2000 or the Z-3000 models feature SensorPod air quality monitor, which communicates to the purifier, letting it take a break when the air quality improves, extending the life of your filter.
  • Energy Star rating. To save energy and money on your electricity bill, choose units with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Star rating.
