    I don’t really know what air filters filter out can they remove CO2

    They filter particulates, CO2 is a gas. Some also have UV-C lights for killing microbes, and some have ozone generators which, despite making things smell clean, should not be run near people.

    If you want to “filter” CO2 out you need what’s called and carbon-dioxide scrubber, like what’s used in rebreathers for divers, submarines, and the space station.

      Also the UV ones are basically a scam, they shine a UV light on the air for so little time it achieves nothing.
