Well there is a bit of a debate about the type of air purifiers that would kill viruses and bacteria. Ionization type purifiers change the ion structure of the air in the room, this change is believed to kill some viruses and bacteria. Air borne pathogens are killed by several means, ionization and ultraviolet bombardment. To control a Flu virus effectively you would need to have a protocol in place in concert with air purification. Hand disinfection being one very important step, cough and sneeze protocol (using tissue to suppress expelled bacteria and viral matter) and a clean clothing protocol. Ultimately just washing your hands and being aware of the environment you are entering can keep you safe (as well as your handkerchief).

Can air purifiers help stop the flu from spreading in a household?

Yes, air purifiers can help reduce the spread of the flu within a household, though they are not a guaranteed way to stop it completely. They work by filtering out airborne particles, including some virus-laden droplets, especially when equipped with a high-efficiency HEPA filter. Using an air purifier for allergies can also be beneficial in this case, as these models are designed to trap very fine particles, improving overall air quality. While an air purifier can lower the risk of airborne transmission, it should be used alongside proper hygiene practices, such as frequent hand washing and disinfecting surfaces.
