Air purifiers are typically used by artists who deal with a lot of solvents or other unpleasant odors in confined spaces. The Air purifies work by filtering the air with HEPA filters and activated carbon to assist in the removal of odors, gases, chemicals, and airborne particles, which will leave the area smelling cleaner.
Most available purifiers will clean anywhere from an 800 to 1,500 square foot area and also comes with a multi-speed fan to assist in the quicker removal of the potentially harmful odor in the air.
For the artists who strictly deal with pastels, it is wise to use an air purifier that offers a medium where it will filter out dust and other particulates that populates the air where the artist is working. For the artist that strictly works with oil based paints, solvents, or airbrush equipment,it is pertinent to use an air purifier with a higher grade megahertz that will aid in the removal of these dangerous odors. Prolonged exposure to some of these chemicals that the artist uses day to day is harmful to the health, and could even asphyxiate if the artist continues to work in such a closed in area.
