The effectiveness of commercially available domestic air purifiers to reduce airborne Aspergillus fumigatus conidia and mouldy hay dust was investigated. It was found that the rate of particle clearance is a function of the volume of air passing through the purifiers but that the low throughflow of air makes their use of little value in clearing particles from a normal sized room. Vacuum cleaners were more effective than air purifiers because of their higher air throughput, so too were high volume fan systems in conjunction with simple filtration units. Ionizers had no effect but steam condensation was very efficient at clearing airborne particles.
对市售家用空气净化器减少空气中烟曲霉分生孢子和发霉干草灰尘的效果进行了研究。发现颗粒清除率是通过净化器的空气体积的函数，但空气低流量使得它们在从正常大小的房间清除颗粒方面几乎没有价值。由于空气流量较高，吸尘器比空气净化器更有效，高流量风扇系统与简单过滤装置结合使用也更有效。离子发生器没有效果，但蒸汽冷凝在清除空气中颗粒方面非常有效。
