Hi Susan

Thanks for your email. There is many different types on the market and different sizes and it can be confusing for consumers to get the correct system.

There is some good research on the benefit of such Portable Air Cleaners (PAC) but it must be performed in conjunction with an overall risk assessment and control strategy. They certainly have their place but no a magic bullet.

We have assessed many of these and most are pretty good however making sure you get the right size for your areas is critical otherwise you can be just wasting money.

Happy to discuss further if you like.
Kindest regards,

Hi Allison/ Suzi,

What are your thoughts about air purifiers?
I heard that government bought some for public schools.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.techguide.com.au/amp/samsung/samsung-deploys-51000-air-purifiers-for-the-safe-return-of-students-to-the-classroom/

Are there any specific evidence that you know of?

I was thinking whether it will be beneficial for Stephenson House Outpatient, esp there’s no proper central ventilation system like at Kangan Drive.

Keen to hear your thoughts.

Thanks.

Angel
