A new study has found that air purifiers, specifically ones with HEPA air filters, might lower blood pressure in certain groups and therefore boost cardiovascular health, as reported in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Short and long-term exposure to air pollution is linked to a range of health conditions, including high blood pressure. Scientists set out to look more closely at this by studying a small group of 154 participants, all of whom lived near a highway and were regularly exposed to air pollution because of this.
