While the atmosPhere air Purifier can effectively reduce the potential airborne contaminants listed above, the ability of any cleaner to reduce airborne contaminants is limited to those airborne contaminants that pass through the system.
since the atmosPhere air Purifier is a room air cleaner, your exposure to these and other potential airborne contaminants, and their associated health risks will not be completely eliminated by the use of this product.
