An air purifier works by passing the air in a room or area through a series of filters that capture and remove various contaminants and pollutants. The most common types of air purifiers use one or more of the following types of filters:

• HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter: This type of filter is able to capture particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke.
• Activated carbon filter: This filter is used to remove odors, chemicals, and gases from the air.
• Ionizer: This device uses an electrical charge to attract and trap particles in the air.
• UV-C light: This type of light can help to eliminate microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and mold spores.

The air purifier pulls in air from the room, passing it through the filters, and then releases the purified air back into the room. Some air purifiers also have built-in fans to help circulate the air more effectively. The effectiveness of an air purifier will depend on factors such as the type of filter used, the size of the unit, and the quality of the unit's construction. It is important to choose an air purifier that is appropriately sized for the room or area in which it will be used, and to ensure that the filter is easy to replace and maintain.
