Air quality alert: Where to buy a purifier to protect against wildfire smoke

Air purifiers can help with indoor air quality and can be purchased for quick delivery, including these models from Shark and Levoit on Amazon.

As smoke from the Canadian wildfires impacts the Northeast, you may be concerned about the air quality in your home.

The National Weather Service has issued an air quality alert for the entire state of New Jersey until midnight Thursday. It is also recommending that people stay indoors, which may prompt the need for an air purifier, especially if you are sensitive to respiratory symptoms.

Air purifiers are designed to remove odors and pollutants in the air. These devices can make the air in your home cleaner and easier to breathe by eliminating up to 99.9% of allergens through HEPA filters.

Several retailers, such as Amazon and Walmart, offer air purifiers that you can have delivered quickly. This may help combat the unhealthy air quality that could be infiltrating your home due to the wildfire smoke.

Here's a look at some air purifiers you can purchase online now.
