Air-purifiers can reduce pressure and exposure to fine particulate matter air pollution.

The dangerously high air pollution levels have meant an increase in the sales of portable air purifiers across the world. While they do seem like our only friends in this polluted environment, it is important to assess how well they are doing their jobs.

A study published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine revealed that short-term use of portable air filtration systems reduce personal exposure to fine particulate matter (cause for cardiovascular morbidity along with other health problems) and systolic blood pressure in senior citizens.
