A member asked:

Would a air purifier be good for a person who has copd on oxygen who also uses a pellet stove for heat in the winter time if they clean the filter regularly?

Air purifier : Can’t hurt. Might be better to get different heating system. Beware of oxygen around fire in stove or cooking. Do not smoke. Get fire alarm. Plan escape route.
