Question from Acer
I’m currently trying to reduce a hyper-sensitivity to plastics that manifests by inflaming my throat and bronchi. I am slowly but steadily eliminating all avoidable plastics from my home, but I would also like to purchase an air purifier that excels at removing plastic off-gassing. Any recommendations?
And can you recommend a reliable supplier of multi-layer cotton face masks? The ones I’ve improvised on my own do give some relief.
Debra’s Answer
You’ll want to get an air filter that contains activated carbon or another filter medium that removes gasses. The filters I recommend are at http://dld123.com/debraslist/list.php?topic=Air#Air%20Filters. I would call the different companies and ask how effective their filters are at removing plastic. I know some filters have filter media that has been specially created to remove specific chemicals.
I don’t know about the face masks. Readers?
