We recommend the Airpura F600-DLX for higher than typical concentrations of formaldehyde fumes in the environment. Even those who are not particularly sensitive to chemicals can suffer symptoms ranging from mild to  severe when exposed to certain vapors. Such symptoms may include headache, fatigue, emotional distress, anxiety, dizziness, impaired memory, nausea, breathing difficulties, loss of mental focus, chest pains, burning eyes, sinus discomfort, and insomnia. The best approach is to avoid exposure to chemical fumes as much as possible. To that end, the F600-DLX has been designed specifically to capture formadelyde by adsorbing the offending particles as they pass through the air purifier. As air circulates through the large carbon bed of the F600-DLX, offending molecules are extracted by becoming attached to the surface of the specialized carbon.

This is the unit of choice when the main need is to remove a significant concentration of formaldehyde and similar chemical vapors from home or office. Its 26lbs of specialized carbon effectively removes vapors from formaldehyde that off-gas from construction materials, new rugs and furniture, pesticides, solvents, vinyl floors, cleaning materials, office machines, etc. Whether the issue is chemicals, pets, cooking, mildew, wood-burning stoves or wildfire smoke, this air purifier has the capacity to adsorb a high concentration of offending molecules, providing a safer, more pleasant environment.

The Airpura F600-DLX is configured with an extra large bed of specialized carbon to capture chemicals, odors and smoke, and a HEPA barrier post-filter to trap particles from dust, dander, mold spores, smoke, and pollen.

If used in an environment where people are smoking, we recommend upgrading the prefilter to the special Tartrap prefilter which protects the carbon filter from becoming prematurely contaminated by the sticky tars generated by tobacco smoke.
