What is an indoor Air Purifier? Who is it for? And how does it work?

As air purifiers are becoming more and more common in homes, offices and on store shelves, all of these questions are being asked with increasing frequency.
Why is Indoor Air Quality such a big concern today?

One of the most frequently quoted statements in the air purifiers industry is that indoor air quality (IAQ) can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air, a statement made by the EPA. A major contributing factor to this is that modern construction techniques have created houses and other buildings that are more airtight. Better sealed homes may reduce our heating and A/C bills, but they also trap in pollutants by reducing ventilation.

Another major reason that IAQ is such a big concern is that many common products release dangerous chemicals into our homes. This was less of an issue in the past because research had not yet been done showing the dangers of these chemicals. Now that we know that the dangers exist, a major modern concern is how reduce them.
