Time to Breathe Easy: Air Purification for Your Business
By Justin J. Murphy
Here’s an extremely important insight that everyone needs to know: air purifiers aren’t just for your home—they’re for everywhere. Office, warehouse, hotel, restaurant, classroom—the list goes on and on.
Clean air is a major factor in creating a healthful indoor environment. But it’s not just about the health benefits—it’s also about showcasing your commitment to the health of your employees, coworkers, students, guests, and patrons. Small acts of health-forward kindness do not go unnoticed.
Let’s take a look at some facts about healthful indoor environments:
- They create a healthier mental outlook
- They promote better health
- They reduce the risk of respiratory complications
Create a healthful environment and you generate positive results all around. A business committed to the wellbeing of their employees and customers is a business bound to excel.
Why an Air Purifier Is Important
Over the past two centuries, humans have done an excellent job of introducing a bevy of harmful pollutants into our air—and the result has been respiratory problems, allergies, and health complications. Breathing clean air shouldn’t stop when you leave your home. It should follow you throughout the day no matter where you go.
Here’s a fact: We spend 90% of our lives indoors. And we inhale over 2,000 gallons of air a day. Better quality indoor air reduces the risk of transmission of pathogens, improves allergies, and enhances breathing—and when you’re breathing that much air indoors everyday, it’s vital to overall health to be breathing clean air.
In fact, a recent controlled study in the Yonsei Medical Journal “found that air purifiers significantly reduced medication use in those who struggled with respiratory symptoms caused by their allergies.”
Just think—if we all do our part, we can significantly contribute to a healthier lifestyle not only for ourselves, but also for everyone around us.
Industries Best Served by an Air Purifier
As we mentioned before, creating a healthful environment for employees, guests, students, and patients is vital in reducing health complications. Here’s a few ways Coway air purifiers can help various industries.
1. Dining
Coway air purifiers can reduce airborne viruses and bacteria, as well as reduce the effects of smoke as well as foul odors that could be emanating from the latrine. Open kitchen? Bathroom close to diners? Grab yourself an air purifier today!
2. Hospitality
With thousands of guests checking-in and out of hotels each day, it’s nearly impossible to ensure everyone stays out of harms way when it comes to viruses and bacteria. Air purifiers can help optimize air in common spaces as well as guest rooms and dining facilities.
3. Medical
Obviously keeping patients healthy is a top priority at clinics and hospitals—but keeping staff healthy is also vital to addressing and solving medical issues. We saw what Covid did to many hospital staff and the catastrophic effects it had on the healthcare system. Now is the time to invest in a cleaner environment for nurses, doctors, maintenance crews, and cleaning crews.
4. Schools
One too many sick days and your kid gets behind. Not to mention the fact that viruses picked up at school spread to family and siblings, increasing sick days across the board and contributing to higher stress levels at home and at work. Clean air = better learning environments.
5. Travel/Transportation
With millions of travelers from all over the world convening on airports, bus stations, train stations, and metro stations each and every day, there’s bound to be nasty viruses floating in the air. Keep travelers safe and you contribute to a massive enhancement of global health.

¹Coway air purifiers have been proven to trap dust, pollen, dander, viruses and bacteria in the air based on KCL(Korea Conformity Laboratories) testing. They have been tested in a 30㎥ size chamber according to the Korea Air Cleaning Association standard (SPS-KACA 002-132:2018 Modified) to measure the 0.01㎛ size of particle removal rate. It was tested on maximum fan speed in normal room temperature and humidity conditions. The performance may vary in the actual living environment of customers. → Tested with 150, 160, AP-1216L, AP-1512HH, AP-1512HHS, 200M, Icon, IconS, 230, 240, 250, 250S, 300, 300S, 400, 400S

3Aerosol test conducted in a Biosafety level 3 laboratory with two Coway air purifier models, Coway Airmega 250 and 400 for removal of SARS-CoV-2 Aerosol by US based MRI Global, a not-for-profit laboratory and partner of US Department of Defense. The test was conducted in a 13.1ft3 chamber. Virus was aerosolized for 15 minutes and the product was turned on high for 2 minutes. Result showed each product effectively removed over 99.98% of the SARS-CoV-2 in 2 minutes. This is a result from a laboratory experiment condition and result may vary in different conditions. This result does not imply it kills SARS-CoV-2 or prevents the transmission of Covid-19. Coway Airmega 250S and 400S are identical to the tested models and has equal performance with an additional mobile connectivity function.
4The concentration of ammonia, acetaldehyde and acetic acid were proven to be removed within 30 minutes by FCG Research Institute, Inc. Human Life Science Lab. It is not a demonstration result in the actual use space. Not all odors and gases may be supported. → Tested with Coway Airmega 150, 160, AP-1512HH, AP-1512HHS, 400, 400S
5The coverage area of the air purifier is based on an area where the air cleaner can make two air changes per hour (ACPH). An air change per hour translates to how many times an air purifier can clean an area, assuming the height of a ceiling to be 8 ft, in one hour. Therefore ** means two air changes per hour means that the cleaner can clean the area once every 30 minutes and * means air changes per hour means that the air purifier can clean the area once every 60 minutes.
