The Allerair 5000 DS air purifiers feature a unique tar-trapping pre-filter
that grabs larger particles and tar, which also extends the life of
the HEPA filter and carbon filter.
The unit also features a micro-wrap filter to deal with small particles
as small as the fine cigarette ash
and a 3" extra-deep, 22 lb carbon filter which increases dwell
time, allowing more chemicals, gases and odors to be absorbed.
An even deeper, 3.5"/28 lb carbon filter is available with the
DXS model.
The only proven to work method of adsorbing lingering substances that
result from tobacco smoke in a closed environment even when active
smoking has ceased. |

| *The nature of tobacco smoke |
Tobacco smoke is made up of “sidestream smoke”
from the burning tip of the cigarette and “mainstream smoke”
from the filter or mouth end.
Tobacco smoke contains thousands of different chemicals which are released
into the air as particles and gases.
Many toxins are present in higher concentrations in sidestream smoke than
in mainstream smoke and, typically, nearly 85% of the smoke in a room results
from sidestream smoke. The particulate phase includes nicotine, "tar"
(itself composed of many chemicals), benzene and benzo(a)pyrene.
The gas phase includes carbon monoxide, ammonia, dimethylnitrosamine, formaldehyde,
hydrogen cyanide and acrolein. Some of these have marked irritant properties
and some have been shown to cause cancer.
One study has established the link between smoking and lung cancer at the
cellular level. It found that a substance in the tar of cigarettes, benzo(a)pyrene
diol epoxide (BPDE), damages DNA in a key tumour suppresser gene [source:
