Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) is a major problem in many workplaces, and can have a significant impact on employee health and well-being.
Air sanifiers can be a valuable tool for improving IAQ and reducing sickness and absenteeism.
How air sanifiers work
Air sanifiers work by removing pollutants from the air. They can use a variety of technologies to do this, including:
- HEPA filters: HEPA filters are very effective at removing small particles from the air, including dust mites, pollen, and mold spores.
- Activated carbon filters: Activated carbon filters are good at removing gases and odors from the air.
- UV-C light: UV-C light can be used to kill bacteria and viruses in the air.
Benefits of air sanifiers in the workplace
Air sanifiers can provide a number of benefits in the workplace, including:
- Reduced sickness and absenteeism: When employees are exposed to poor air quality, they are more likely to get sick. Air sanifiers can help to reduce sickness and absenteeism by removing pollutants from the air.
- Improved productivity: Studies have shown that employees who work in clean air environments are more productive. This is because they have fewer distractions and are less likely to feel tired or lethargic.
- Reduced healthcare costs: By reducing sickness and absenteeism, air sanifiers can help to reduce healthcare costs for businesses.
- Improved employee morale: Employees are more likely to be happy and engaged in their work when they are working in a clean and healthy environment.
How to choose an air sanifier for your workplace
When choosing an air sanifier for your workplace, it is important to consider the following factors:
- The size of the room: Choose an air sanifier that is the right size for the room where it will be used.
- The type of pollutants you want to remove: Consider the types of pollutants that are present in your workplace and choose an air sanifier that is effective at removing those pollutants.
- The noise level: Some air sanifiers can be noisy, so it is important to choose one that is quiet enough for your workplace.
- The cost: Air sanifiers can range in price from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand dollars. Choose an air sanifier that fits your budget.

- Clean and replace the air sanifier filters regularly.
