A:AnswerWe have neighbors that burn wood and the smell is strong. Of course you have to close your windows while the purifier is running, but it does take the smoke odor out of the house. We love it. Ended up getting another one for the upstairs.

A:AnswerUV light is harmful to skin when there is direct exposure. However, if the uv bulb is inside a plastic casing, the light does not shine outward so there is no direct exposure. This is an air purifier with a uv light mounted inside it so you should be okay.
