Unintended consequences of air cleaning chemistry

doi.org · added Oct 2026

Summary

A perspective by two atmospheric chemists arguing that air cleaners that use chemistry, rather than filters, can create unwanted byproducts indoors. They call for more study before wider adoption.

Key points

  • Reactive air cleaning can make new indoor pollutants.
  • Removing the source and filtering come first.
  • More study is needed before wider use.
