«Purifier l'air» s'emploie surtout lorsqu'il est question de la restauration d'une bonne qualité d'air accomplie par les éléments naturels ou par une ventilation. Dans le Grand Robert électronique, on associe cette expression aux exemples suivants : «La gelée avait purifié l'air» - «Le vent a purifié le ciel, il a chassé les nuages». L'expression «purification de l'air» est correcte dans le domaine de la climatisation et de la ventilation, mais non dans ceux du génie chimique ou du dépoussiérage. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9puration%20de%20l%27air
