djranis: does using air purifier cause any health risk, i have seen many articles but most seem to dodge the issue
wormparty: My friend you are a little bit misguided here . Air purifiers with ionizing action are the ones to be avoided. There is health risk because ionizers release ozone (lung irritant) and Formaldehyde ( which is said to be linked to cancer).
Apart from this most of the modern day air purifiers which have HEPA standard are very good since they not only get rid of dust but also mold spores, pet dander, smoke and a plethora of other nasty stuff which would otherwise enter our body. Also these days the filter technology is so advanced that even few airborne viruses can be trapped by these air purifiers.
For instance the patented e2f filter used here in this air purifier (

lilliput2233: I thought air purifiers are for health reasons right ? never heard of anyone using it for getting rid of PC dust.
wormparty: Yes they are for health reasons but you can use them for getting rid of PC dust by positioning the air purifier in a way where the air enters the air purifier before it enters your PC. This way you can trap all the dust and also you have the added advantage of cleaner air inside your room. Why spend more when you can benefit from just using a simple room air purifier for both health reasons and as well as keeping static dust at bay.
