The Gold standard for scientifically and objectively measuring the efficiency of an air purifier to reduce the amount of airborne particles is to measure the pollution level of your indoor air with a laser particle counter (LPC).

There are various different technologies available but in most cases this is how an air purifier works. First the polluted or ‘dirty’ air is sucked into the air purifier via its air intake. There are air purifiers that have a washable pre-filter right at the start of the process to help remove larger particles but this is not always the case. The air is then passed through a carbon filter which is used to eradicate odors and again take out larger particles from the air. See similar questions...

Air purifiers should never be turned off. See similar questions...
