Minimal burden — HEPA-Filtered Indoor Air imposes minimal avoidable burden on your detox systems.
A true-HEPA air purifier sized to the room.
The breakdown
Each driver rated 0 (none) to 10 (worst)
Evidence strength: strong · Detox Score = 100 − hazard×4.6 − exposure×3.4 − persistence×2.6, clamped 1–100.
What this means for you
A Detox Score of 86 places hepa-filtered indoor air in the Minimal band. One of the highest-value, lowest-effort exposure reductions: a correctly sized HEPA unit measurably cuts indoor PM2.5, pollen and many particulates.
