purifiers
Devices eliminating impurities
Purifiers are devices or substances that remove impurities or contaminants.
Air purifiers filter dust, allergens, and pollutants from indoor air.
Water purifiers eliminate bacteria and chemicals to make water safe for drinking.
The term extends to anything that cleanses or makes pure: The company sells HEPA purifiers for allergy sufferers.
