Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause serious health problems. This post discusses whether air purifiers can help with carbon monoxide poisoning, and what the effects of carbon monoxide are.
There are many ways to avoid this type of poisoning and an air purifier may be one way to help if you have a dangerous level in your home or workplace.
How air purifiers can help
If you have carbon monoxide levels over the EPA’s action level (less than 50 ppm), air purifiers may be a good option.
Air purifiers can help by reducing these types of air contaminants and oxidation that cause harm to your body, mind and spirit. They also remove particulates in the air so those with asthma or other respiratory problems will find relief from using them as well.
To help with carbon dioxide poisoning you will need an air purifier with Carbon/HEPA-filter such as Nuwave Oxypure, Winix 5500-2, iQAir HealthPro and others.
What are the negative effects of carbon monoxide poisoning
The effects on humans depend on how long they are exposed to high concentration: short-term at lower concentrations people might experience nausea, headaches or dizziness; while more general symptoms include fatigue, confusion or irritability for extended periods of time.
Cancers could form after prolonged exposure due to cells not being able to repair themselves properly because of reduced oxygen intake.
Conclusions
So, would an air purifier help with carbon monoxide poisoning? Yes it could. Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas that can be found in our homes or workplaces without us even knowing.
Air purifiers will remove the smell of CO from your air so you don’t have to worry about smelling it anymore!
