Different types of air filters:

Particle Removal

Mechanical air filters:
These air filters work by catching the particles that are compromising your air quality in filters.

Electronic air filters:
These air filters used electrostatic attraction to trap charged particles. The air gets drawn through an ionization section where particles obtain an electrical charge.When the ions attach to airborne particles they attach to nearby surfaces faster.

Gaseous Pollutant Removal:
These air filters that use sorbent. It is an activated carbon that absorbs the pollutants.

Pollutant Destruction:
These air filters use ultraviolet (UV) light to destroy the pollutants inside you home.

Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) and Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO) are two air filters that are pollutant destructive.

UVGI uses ultraviolet radiation from lamps to destroy any viruses, bacteria allergens and molds that are in your home. They should be used with filtration systems. They are most effective together.

PCO are UV lamps and a substance called a catalyst that reacts with the light. It coverts the gas pollutants to be harmless. The pollutants will still be in the home, it is not designed to remove them.
