A Slew of Air Purifiers Are on Sale Because of the Wildfire Smoke

New York City has gone up in smoke—literally. A result of the intense and fast-spreading wildfires burning in eastern Canada, the Big Apple and other areas along the Northeast are engulfed in an ashy haze that's causing some of the worst air pollution the region has seen in decades. It's not good for the environment, nor is it good for our physical health. Some reports say breathing in all that gunk is worse than smoking cigarettes, and can especially be risky for people with underlying cardiac and respiratory issues.

To stay safe, experts recommend sheltering inside and maintaining your indoor air quality using air purifiers, which remove smoke and other pollutants from the airspace inside the home. Don't have an air purifier? There's no better time to buy one; in response to the wildfires, several retailers have slashed prices on premium air purifiers from brands like Dyson, Molekule, and Bissell, making it no time like the present to invest in one. Considering they filter out much more than just smoke, like bacteria, viruses, allergens, dust, and other grossness that gets in your air, they're a sound investment not just for now, but for years to come.

Now's your chance to get a high-quality air purifier for a fraction of the regular price. Scroll for the best of the best deals happening now.
