Is Apatite a safe material to be used on air purifier filters?

I learned that the Sharp air purifiers' HEPA filters have an Apatite component to it that apparently provides antibacterial properties to protect the filters from microbial accumulation. Is Apatite a relatively "safe" material to use for an air filter, i.e. is it safe for the resident who is breathing air that comes through the filter? Apatite (a very general term) is usually made up of phosphorus and calcium, but some variants (ie. arsenates like mimemite) may contain arsenic. Could this be a health issue for users? Would the filters use arsenic-based variants in the first place, or are other forms more prevalent and likely to be used in medical/industrial applications?

Apatite is a group name for hexagonal or pseudohexagonal monoclinic arsenates, phosphates and vanadates.
In general use 'apatite' is often used in particular for the Calcium Phosphate minerals, Fluorapatite, Chlorapatite and Hydroxylapatite.
There is no specific data on health dangers or toxicity for this mineral.
It is unlikely that an arsenate would be used in this application. The other forms are quite prevalent and more of these are actually mined as ore.

Question about Air Purifiers?

Hello,
We just moved into a basement at my in-laws house (yes, it's just like the freecreditreport.com commercial) but there is a very strong cat urine smell to the basement that is making my eyes water very badly. I am going to try Nature's Miracle, as well as other products, but I am wondering advice about air purifiers. Is it better to go with multiple smaller, and cheaper air purifiers, or is it best to just drop $900 on an IQ Air system (that seems to be rated the best)? I heard one opinion that multiple, smaller purifiers might move more air overall than just one big one.....yet the big expensive models say they cover 900 sq feet. What should I do, and what should I consider when deciding on a purifier? Like I said, it's mostly for odor control, but dust and other garbage in the air as well.

I wouldn't spend that much money for a unit that will do almost the same as any good HEPA/ Carbon air purifier. I got the Austin Air HealthMate and i works great, filter lasts up to 5 years and is has HEPA for particle filtration (ex. dust, mold, dander, dust mites, some bacteria depending on their size, pollen and any other particle over 0.3 microns) and the activated carbon that removes odors, chemicals, VOC's, gases, vapors, etc. Mine cost around $550 with free shipping and it covers up to 1500SqFt. if you place it in a smaller room you will get more air changes per hour which will be very beneficial. I did a lot of research and this unit was the best quality / cost unit i could find. i got mine at MyHealthyPlaces.com, see resource. good luck!

The Same Ultra High-Performance Particle Control for Allergy Sufferers in a Smaller Design
The HealthPro Compact features the same advanced micro- and nano-particle filter technologies as the HealthPro and HealthPro Plus, but in a smaller housing to make it more convenient in size for small apartments and offices, only not upgradeable to HealthPro Plus to include V-5 Cell gas and odor filter. The HealthPro Compact effectively removes every type of particulate air pollutants with the same ultra high efficiency as the larger models, including all common allergens, microorganism and all types of dust. This makes the HealthPro Compact the ideal choice for allergy sufferers and other health-conscious individuals that need high-efficiency particle removal in a smaller size. (The HealthPro Compact cleans a home or apartment up to 900 square feet, just like the larger HealthPro and HealthPro Plus, but it is not upgradeable to to include V-5 Cell gas and odor filtration.)

The HyperHEPA difference
Most air purifiers only filter particles larger than 0.3 microns in size, but 90% of all ultra fine particles are smaller than 0.3 microns. This means that most air purifiers are only filtering 10% of the particles in your air. IQAirs patented HyperHEPA filters are the first filters tested and certified to filter down to 0.003 microns with a guaranteed minimum efficiency of over 99.5%. This allows your HealthPro to capture the ultra fine particles that other air purifiers miss.

Applications
Allergen control
Mold spore control
Pet dander control (cat, dog, etc.)
House dust mite allergen control
Pollen control
Particulate air pollution control
General dust & particle control
Light tobacco smoke control
Wild-fire smoke control more info
