does HEBA filter cleans the air from Second hand Smooking\Vaping ?

[@SmartAirFilters]

Such odors will be removed by the carbon filter!

So, in my area the aqi during the winters reaches till 1000 to 1200 ppm. Google shows 850 pm10

It's funny the person who made this video Paddy is one of the best air purifier designers in the world. He founded a company called Smart Air and his company exports air purifiers around the world which are installed in schools and hospitals.

Thank you!

What about PM1?

[@prachisingh273]

So it can't enter our bloodstream?

[@SmartAirFilters]

PM10 is generally too large to enter the bloodstream, whereas PM2.5 can

[@alext8828]

I don't think your math is right. 1/50 is to 1/5 ten times smaller. You're comparing 2.5um to 10um which is only a 4:1 ratio. Something is not right.

[@SmartAirFilters]

In the video, Paddy is comparing PM10 to the width of a human hair. A human hair is approximately 50 microns in diameter. With PM10 being 10 microns in diameter, its roughly 5 times smaller than the width of a human hair. Hope that clears it up!

Why cant monitors measure PM 10 or PM 1 or PM 2.5 for that matter. How can you tell how accurate a monitor really is?

[@SmartAirFilters]

A typical household air quality monitor uses a laser to count and measure the number of particles in the air. This laser can’t measure the exact number of PM10 or PM1 or PM2.5 particles, just the total number of ‘all particles’ in the air. Most air quality monitors then use this number, and a calibrated formula to estimate the PM2.5 concentration from the number.

So no need to use Gas mask to protect from PM2.5 and pm10? I use gas mask but really hurt my face and sometimes can't breathe well

[@SmartAirFilters]

Yes, not at all! Even the simple surgical masks works wonders

[@sheriffahmy444]

@@SmartAirFilters Thank you really, because i was living in a nightmare everytime i smell strong O3 gas or smoke or perfumes and i was using my gas mask long time until i hurt my nose more but now i feel comfortable after i watched your videos.. God bless you and keep it up.

[@nahgipyno5956]

I think i have allergies or something else. My nose is blocked all the time. So i want to know my bedroom air quality. I bought a air quality monitor and it is not accurate. Dissapointed. I just use dyson v10 to vacuum. My bedroom is about 450 square feet.

[@SmartAirFilters]

Hey sorry to hear that and it must be extremely frustrating to deal with allergies. If you're looking for a reliable air quality monitor, you can check out the AirVisual Pro Air Pollution Monitor on our website (smartairfilters.com/en/product/airvisual-pro/). We also wrote an article about coping with seasonal allergy symptoms. Hope this helps! smartairfilters.com/en/blog/simple-trick-to-reduce-pollen-and-seasonal-allergy-symptoms/

How long can I be in a room completely sealed without getting adverse health effects from a buildup of carbon dioxide?

[@williemasterofdestruction5339]

My C M detector went crazy this morn. Hazy sky's that I figured are from huge fires raging hundreds of miles from here, decimating Ruidoso. The weather app says a high concentration of pm 10 today... Fun world.. was 97 at 11 this morn...🫠
