We recommend the Airpura F600-W when formaldehyde vapors are the main concern. Even those who are not particularly sensitive to chemicals can suffer symptoms ranging from mild to severe when exposed to formadelyde and similar  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-W has been designed specifically to capture formadelyde by adsorbing the offending particles as they pass through the air purifier. As air circulates through the F600-W, offending molecules are extracted by becoming attached to the surface of the specialized carbon.

While the Airpura F600-W has been specially designed to capture formadelyde and similar vapors off-gassing from new furniture, rugs, paints, lacquers, cleaning supplies, adhesives, pesticides, and other VOC-producing objects, this unit will also effectively remove normal household odors such as caused by cooking, smoke, pets, and mildew.

In addition to its excellent odor and chemical removing capabilities, the F600-W’s medical grade HEPA filter captures dust, dander, pollen, mold spores, and other small particulates. The fan will move 560 cubic feet of air per minute through these filters, cleaning up to 2,000 square feet. In a smaller space, the Airpura F600-W will provide more air exchanges per hour which will result in even cleaner air.

This is a good choice for someone wishing to avoid formaldehyde fumes in their home. It is also recommended for anyone with allergies or asthma or anyone who would just like to breathe healthier air at home.
