Air purifiers are becoming increasingly popular among people, playing a role in cleaning the air by removing harmful agents such as dust, pollen, pet dander, and bacteria. However, alongside this main function, some models of air purifiers come with a humidification feature. So, is this feature useful for winter? Let’s explore and find the answer with Puritrak.
1. The Status of Air Pollution in Winter
The status of air pollution in Vietnam during winter is often a prominent issue highlighted in news and media. It’s not difficult to notice that during winter, information about air pollution becomes more prevalent compared to summer.
When traveling on the roads during winter, you might encounter a hazy fog surrounding you. In reality, that’s fine particulate matter, and inhaling it can be harmful to the human respiratory system.
The cause of this phenomenon is related to weather factors in winter. The north winter winds often bring in high air pressure and lower temperatures, resulting in dense and difficult-to-disperse air. Pollutants in the air cannot rise high or travel far, so they concentrate at low levels near the ground. This leads to a gradual increase in air pollution.
The development of urban areas and the use of fossil fuels for heating during winter are also significant contributing factors to the increasing air pollution.
These reasons make the status of air pollution in winter concerning and require us to seek solutions to improve indoor air quality.
2.Should You Use a Humidifying Air Purifier in Winter?
To answer this question, let’s examine the benefits of using a humidifying air purifier during winter:
2.1. Improved Air Quality
A humidifying air purifier helps remove fine dust particles, bacteria, viruses, and other pollutants from the air. With the ability to eliminate up to 99.9% of fine dust particles, it creates a clean air environment, reducing the risk of illness and protecting the health of family members.
2.2. Reduced Symptoms of Dry Skin and Red Eyes
Winter weather is often dry, causing uncomfortable dryness and itching for the skin and eyes. A humidifying air purifier helps maintain moisture in the air, soothing these symptoms.
2.3. Enhanced Anti-inflammatory and Respiratory Support
Properly humidified air helps reduce nasal congestion and dry throat, helping you avoid colds and allergic rhinitis. This is especially important in winter when respiratory issues tend to increase.
2.4. More Comfortable Living Environment
Appropriate humidity levels make indoor living spaces more comfortable, helping you feel warm and relaxed.

Good humidity levels can improve sleep quality. You may find it easier to relax and sleep better in a well-humidified environment.
2.6. Prevention of Mold and Bacteria Growth
A humidifying air purifier can prevent the growth of mold and bacteria in your living space, helping to protect your health.
From the above information, we can conclude that it is indeed beneficial to use a humidifying air purifier in winter.
3. Criteria for Choosing a Humidifying Air Purifier
3.1. Air Purification Capability
Ensure that the air purifier has effective filtration and can remove fine dust particles, bacteria, viruses, and other pollutants from the air. Check the type of filters used (HEPA, activated carbon, UV-C, etc.) to ensure the machine’s effectiveness.
3.2. Humidifying Capacity
Consider the humidifying capacity of the machine. Different models have varying humidifying capabilities, and you should choose one that can provide sufficient moisture for your space. This may depend on the room size and the dryness level of the air in your area.
3.3. Water Tank Capacity
Humidifying air purifiers typically come with water tanks. Consider the capacity of the water tank to determine how often you need to refill it during the day.
3.4. Power and Coverage Area
Ensure that the machine’s power and coverage area are suitable for the room you intend to use it in. A machine that is too powerful may increase humidity levels too high and cause mold issues, while a weak machine may not adequately improve air quality.
3.5. Convenience and Additional Features
Consider additional features such as pause mode, concentration mode, timer, and remote control. These features can make using the air purifier more convenient and flexible.
3.6. Energy Consumption
Check the machine’s energy consumption to ensure that it does not significantly increase your electricity bill.
3.7. Performance and Noise Level
Consider the cleaning performance and noise level of the machine. A machine that is too noisy may be disruptive during use.
3.8. Price and Budget
Consider your budget and find a humidifying air purifier within your price range, while also considering monthly maintenance costs (filter replacement, water, electricity).
3.9. User Reviews
Read reviews from other users to learn about the actual quality of the machine you are interested in.
Above are all the relevant information regarding humidifying air purifiers. Every household should have at least one machine during winter to ensure that the air in the room is always clean, contributing to the health protection of all family members.
