There are many reasons for poor air quality in a vehicle. Some of them are odors, cigarette smoke, carbon monoxide and exhaust fumes from other cars, carbon dioxide, pet dander, particulate matter like dust, mold, pollen and bacteria.

There are 3 main strategies of best car air purifiers are:

• Source control – remove the source of the issue. In a car this can be difficult since we don’t have a choice but to drive on the road.
• Ventilation – this is achieved by circulating air from the outside or by rolling down the windows. Again, this can be difficult depending upon the weather conditions or pollution on the roads.
• Air Cleaning – using an air filter to remove the pollutants.

Here is a list of the most common technologies used in a car air purifier by Ecoquest.

1. Negative ion generator – also referred to as a car air ionizer
This is simply an electronic device and most often is plugged into a cigarette lighter. This car air ionizer requires little power.

2. HEPA filter
A HEPA air filter is the best technology to remove airborne particulates and it does so safely.

3. Activated Carbon filter
A filter with activated carbon is good in removing many of the gases associated with smoke removal and car fumes.

4. Ozone generator
An ozone generator works as its name implies and that is to create ozone. While ozone can be very effective in gas removal it is terrible to breathe in.

5. Air Freshener
An air freshener works by masking odors in a car. It does not remove any odors but rather gives off its own odor so you do not notice the odor we want to avoid.

Furthermore, imagine if we wanted to remove fumes and emissions from vehicle exhaust. In other words, the gases we listed above. This issue is even harder since a bank of carbon has more air flow resistance and therefore requires a stronger fan to pull the air through.
