I don't think anyone is certain. Filtering the air reduces other harmful contaminants but increases the relative endotoxin concentration. How physiologically significant one vs the other is, I don't know.So it is good if we use it the low settings? I mean I need to filter the air because my room is in the corner of the building with no window outside so it's even worse if I don't turn it on. Air feels stuck.
Some central air systems claim to also filter out endotoxin, but I haven't seen anything marketed as such.
I've experimented with hepa filters on and off in my bedroom and living room and see zero difference. In the past, Hepa filters had helped me stop terrible sneezing fits.
I've kept a Hepa in the basement and now running air ionizers in the living and sleeping spaces.
I cannot perceive any differences.
