Thanks, Tracy.
Yes, we have hepa filter air cleaners we are using. Ours are by Environcaire
or something like that but thank you for the info on this type of hepa filter;
I'm sure there are people here who will notice that it may be just what they
need.
Like you we have been careful what types to get. We learned some time ago
from my father-in-law's pulmonologist and my allergist to stick with hepa
filter ones and avoid the free standing electrostatic ones because too many
of those produced lung injuring ozone. I think that I have read that some
of the places which make those are starting to decrease that problem (and
hence less advertising about the air smelling "rain storm fresh smell" (i.e.
ozone smell).

rep from Allergy Buyers Club, explained the need to have something small and can go up
on furniture, he recommended the Austin Healthmate Jr. They have a couple of different
models depending on needs. Perhaps that would help with the smoke from the lower unit.
