Note: Though Clean Air Deliver Ratings (CADR) can be found for a large number of favorite brands, many of the most well-respected companies in the air purification field do not give CADRs to their purifier. This should, in no way, bias potential customers against them.

Summary:

As you may know, there is no discovered cure for asthma; proper medical treatment, along with constant control of indoor triggers such as mold, pet dander, dust mites, pests, and secondhand smoke, can decrease the number and severity of attacks.
