Topline: who we are
AirPurifierFAQ is published by AirPurifierFAQ. Our editorial pages are produced by an in‑house editorial team with named editors and expert review where required; you can verify individual credentials on our About page and the linked staff pages: About AirPurifierFAQ, Meet Our Team, Mohammed Jamil, and Our Expert Reviewer.

What this policy covers
This editorial policy applies to the site’s editorial content: product guides, reviews, how‑to articles and news posts. Legal, privacy, affiliate and medical topics are governed by separate pages: Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, Affiliate Disclosure, and Medical Disclaimer. Technical testing methods are described on our methods page: How We Evaluate Air Purifiers. Pages are updated when new evidence affects conclusions; published and last‑updated timestamps are displayed on every article.
How we source evidence and make recommendations
We follow a transparent hierarchy of evidence. When creating recommendations we consult sources in this order of weight:
- Regulatory certifications, accredited lab test reports and official safety documents
- Peer‑reviewed studies and reputable institutional testing (universities, government labs)
- Independent third‑party laboratory data and accredited test houses
- Manufacturer specifications, manuals and published performance data
- Retail listings and verified user reports when corroborated by higher‑weight evidence
Manufacturer specifications (for example CADR ratings or published filter life) are commonly used to describe product claims; we try to corroborate those claims with independent testing or regulatory documentation. We will never invent test results. If an article states it is based on hands‑on testing, it includes a documented testing note and methodology or links to our testing procedures at How We Evaluate Air Purifiers.
Unacceptable sources include anonymous forum posts or unverified social‑media claims used as sole evidence. Where evidence conflicts, we explain the disagreement and give readers the source documents to inspect.
Editorial process and workflow
Every article follows a defined workflow: assignment/topic selection → research (sources logged) → draft → human editorial review and fact‑check → expert reviewer sign‑off when applicable → legal/affiliate check → publish with byline and timestamps. Key checkpoints:
- At least one human editor reviews every article before publication.
- An expert reviewer is required for technical claims that go beyond general consumer guidance.
- Sources used during research are logged and retained to allow verification.
- Publication metadata always shows the original publish date and the last updated date; substantive updates include a short update note.
AI assistance: how we use automated tools
We use AI tools for certain editorial tasks — for example, to aggregate research, draft an initial outline, or produce neutral summaries of studies. AI is not used to invent test data, impersonate experts, or create legal or medical advice.
Editorial rule: any content that was materially assisted by AI is reviewed line‑by‑line and signed off by a named human editor before publication. When AI contributed materially, pages display the following on‑page disclosure:
“This article was prepared with assistance from automated tools and reviewed and approved in full by a human editor.”
Editors may add an expanded note naming the reviewer when appropriate.
Conflict of interest, gifts and product samples
We may accept review units, loaner products or sponsored content in some cases. Any such relationship is disclosed on the affected page and in our Affiliate Disclosure. Editorial conclusions are made independently of suppliers; where an author or reviewer has a financial interest in a product, they are recused from being the sole author of that recommendation.
Monetization and editorial independence
The site is funded through display advertising, affiliate links and occasional sponsored content. Affiliate links and sponsorships are disclosed on relevant pages and summarized at Affiliate Disclosure. Commercial performance metrics do not determine editorial ranking or conclusions — a separation exists between commercial and editorial functions to protect impartiality.
Corrections, updates and dispute resolution
If you believe we have published an error, incomplete claim or undisclosed conflict, tell us via Contact Us. We aim to acknowledge reports promptly and will investigate. Substantive factual errors are corrected promptly, with a public update note and a revised timestamp. Where resolution is contested, we will include a brief statement of differing viewpoints alongside source material so readers can judge for themselves.
How to verify what you read here
Start from the links on each article: sources and lab reports cited in text, our staff pages, and our methods page How We Evaluate Air Purifiers. If a claim lacks a primary source and you need verification, contact us at Contact Us and we will either supply the source or correct the content.
