The air we breathe is around 21% oxygen, and it’s essential for human life. But what if the air in your home isn’t as clean as it could be? Air purifiers are designed to remove contaminants from the air, but do they also produce oxygen?
While most air purifiers don’t specifically produce oxygen, they can indirectly increase the amount of oxygen in your home. By removing pollutants like dust, mold, and pollen from the air, purifiers allow your lungs to work more efficiently and help you breathe easier. In turn, this can increase the amount of oxygen that enters your bloodstream.
No, air purifiers do not produce oxygen. They simply filter out pollutants and allergens from the air, making it easier to breathe.

Do Air Purifiers Produce Oxygen
Yes, air purifiers produce oxygen. The process is called electrolysis and it works by using an electric current to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen is then released into the air while the hydrogen is used to power the purifier.
Conclusion
No, air purifiers do not produce oxygen. They work by pulling in polluted air and running it through a filter to remove impurities. The process of filtration does not generate new oxygen molecules.
