@staylorrn2000 If you are reactive to VOCs, I suggest take a look at filters from E L Foust that have no adhesives or VOCs. My post here will give you more information.

This the unit I just purchased. The Austin Air Healthmate….
The Medical Grade high efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA) technology is proven to remove up to 99.97% of all airborne contaminants down to .3 microns and 99% of all airborne contaminants down to .1 microns. This includes viruses*, bacteria, dust, dander and allergens. The carbon blend used in this filter will also effectively remove chemicals, gases, VOCs, and odors.
The Austin Air HealthMate will significantly improve the quality of air in your home. In fact, many consider the Austin Air HealthMate to be the best home purifier because of its massive amount of filter material – 60 sq. ft of HEPA and up to 15 lbs. of activated carbon and zeolite.
The one that gave me trouble was the Healthmate plus that was impregnated with potassium iodide.
They now have an another one that I inquired about, The Austin Air Bedroom Machine; this was the response from the manufacturer….
The Bedroom filter has an additional 5th stage filter (the others have 4 ) which is Military Carbon Cloth and is our most comprehensive filter. This HEGA carbon cloth adds another layer of protection. It has antimicrobial and antiviral properties.
Everyone’s olfactory senses are different. Some people can smell the Potassium Iodide that is impregnated in our HealthMate Plus filters but this additive is not in the Bedroom Machine so no.
So after seeing this response, I might order the Bedroom Machine to try it as a second unit.
