Is there any air purifier suggestion?

All I see here is correlation, not causation, and the correlation exists because the same sources that produce oxides of nitrogen also produce other pollutants (primarily fine particulates, i.e. "soot") that do cause cancer. Don't get me wrong, there are other reasons why oxides of nitrogen are an undesirable pollutant, but you're perpetuating the same sort of error that has many people believing that nicotine causes cancer.

While you are technically correct when you say that there exists no adequate evidence to support that nitrogen dioxide in itself is carcinogenic, it can still cause cancer nevertheless because it is the main source of an important fraction of PM2.5, which is classified as a Group I carginogenic so thanks for pointing out my mistake I guess, but in the end, cancer will still be cancer no matter how you like it served.

Let get this straight... There's no evidence that it's carcinogenic, but it can still cause cancer?

Fine particulates can cause cancer. But nitrogen dioxide is not a particulate, it's a gas. They are often emitted by the same sources, but we should not confuse them, or their effects.

Yes, it can still cause cancer because it is the main source of a type of fine particulates known as nitrate aerosols. To me, it doesn't matter whether it causes cancer directly or indirectly causes it, as cancer doesn't make those kinds of distinctions either, but rather, it still kills you all the same, i.e. the whole rethoric about it doesn't stop it from being simply lethal in the end. And besides, nitrogen dioxide (and NOx in general) also causes other forms of illness, including pulmonary disease, and IMO it would seem like it could very well be a prime suspect of an advancing epidemic of all sorts of allergies spiraling visibly out of control at present day.

You are both right. Nitrogen dioxide does indeed cause cancer but only in California, everywhere else it is perfectly safe.

Seriously, if you are detecting nitrogen dioxide (ND) you probably should be filtering your air. Not because the ND is carcinogenic but because when it is present it can be accompanied by carcinogens.

As far as Dyson filters go, they may be good but they are WAY overpriced.
I will never own one.

Nah. Only in the eyes of our Belgian govt who decided it was necessary to ban second hand vapor from vape shops, nitrogen dioxide is still perfectly amazingly safe:

Thanks for all the suggestion. After one month I think I will choose this guide and buy the Rabbit Air. I think the writer is trustworthy enough.
