    Be certain you do not get an ozone generator. These were touted as beneficial for people with breathing problems, but ozone is actually harmful to all living things, especially when concentrated in rooms like bedrooms. (Ozone you breathe is different from the ozone layer.) You can read more about ozone generators on the EPA Web site.

    You are looking for a HEPA or HEPA-type filter. HEPA is the best. The American Lung Association has a lot of good information on their Web site about this topic.

    It can also help to get rid of carpeting and other soft surfaces that can harbor dust, pet dander and other particulate allergens. But vaccuming once a day (or a few times a week) and a HEPA air filter will definitely help!
