Start with the indoor-air problem
EPA’s basic hierarchy is useful: reduce or remove pollution sources, ventilate with clean outdoor air, then use filtration as a supplement where appropriate.
Source control first
No air cleaner can remove every pollutant. Fixing the source—smoke, moisture, emissions, dust entry or another cause—often provides more leverage than adding another device.
Then choose the right filtration tool
For particles, use room sizing and particle-cleaning performance. For gases, look for a dedicated gas-removal stage. Portable units and HVAC filtration can complement each other, but their run time and coverage are different.
