Effective air purifiers draw from the room with a fan, clean the air, and send it back out into the room. There are a number of ways cleaning is performed while in the actual system. First there is adsorption. Adsorption uses a media like activated carbon or zeolite. These medias are porous so that the airflow is exposed to relatively large surface area. As the chemical contaminates come in contact with the media the chemicals combine the media and are thus removed from the room. Adsorption will remove chemicals and some parts of tobacco smoke and odors but has little impact on particles. Air purifiers employ what seems to be simple technology on the surface.
