Headaches, sore throat, cough, asthma attacks and shortness of breath are some of the symptoms that some air purifiers can cause. But can air filters actually make you sick? The answer is no. Air purifiers don't cause any health problems that could make anyone sick. In fact, they improve people's air quality to make breathing easier.
However, when an air filter is dirty or “full”, its ability to filter dust, mold spores, pollen, and other airborne materials decreases drastically. This means that contaminants can build up in the ducts and blow throughout the house. Inhaling these contaminants can exacerbate symptoms associated with a cold or respiratory infection, not to mention the flu. For people with asthma, these particles can cause an asthma attack.The high flow of an air filter means that more air can flow through it more easily, making the oven work efficiently.

Dirty air filters may be to blame for poor air quality according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (ACAAI). If the air filter becomes too congested during the summer cooling season, it can cause a lack of air flow to the evaporator or cooling coils. This could cause unwanted moisture to stick around and cause mold, which is a pain to remove and can lead to long-term health complications. Given the money you've already invested in your home, not to mention the priority you place on your health, not changing air filters regularly simply doesn't make sense.
