Is it necessary to buy a car air purifier?

It is necessary to buy a car air purifier for the following reasons: 1. Most of the internal components and interior materials of cars are made of plastic and rubber, and the assembly process mostly uses adhesives. These materials and adhesives contain a large amount of pollutants such as benzene, toluene, and formaldehyde, which can have certain adverse effects on human health; 2. On the road, the concentration of pollutants such as carbon dioxide in car exhaust is very high. Inhaling excessive carbon dioxide can damage the human respiratory system. The function of a car air purifier is to remove harmful pollutants in the car, such as mold, viruses, odors, second-hand smoke, formaldehyde, etc., allowing people to breathe fresh air while driving.
Whether to buy a car air purifier depends on your usual driving environment. Like me, living in a big city with heavy traffic exhaust and winter smog, the air in the car is always poor. Once, a friend had a purifier in their car, and I clearly felt much smoother breathing. Especially for long trips or when traveling with the elderly or children, cleaner air provides peace of mind. However, it's important to note that purifiers vary greatly in effectiveness, and filters need regular replacement; otherwise, they can accumulate dust and become a source of pollution. When choosing, look at the CADR value and filter grade. Activated carbon filters can remove odors, while HEPA filters are good against PM2.5. If it's just for short commutes, opening the window for ventilation might be more cost-effective.
