When we think of the term “air pollution’’, definitely the first picture that comes to mind would be car exhausts or factory fumes expelling gray dusty smoke in the air.

Little did we know that there are actually various sources of pollution that also have a negative effect on air quality, many of which are found inside our homes and offices. From cooking residue to paints, varnishes and fungal spores, the air we breathe indoors is often more polluted than the outside air.

Indoor polluted air can also affect our body’s first line of defense: our skin. Skin allergies and rashes are often associated with genetics. However, environmental factors like dirty air, humidity, and temperature play a significant role in triggering and aggravating symptoms. Apart from skin allergies, polluted air can also cause asthma and other respiratory diseases.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, (EPA), the levels of indoor air pollutants are often 2 to 5 times higher than outdoor levels, and in some cases these levels can exceed 100 times* that of outdoor levels of the same pollutants. 
*This is a valid claim according to WHO but only for houses where cooking is done over open fire.

If you don’t have an air purifier, you are the air purifier!

While it's easy to see when you need to dust or sweep, it's harder to know when our indoor air needs cleaning and filtering. Don’t worry, with Blueair, it will quietly fill your room with cleaner air. Blueair provides 5 ACH (5 air changes per hour) ensuring you are breathing and being in the surrounding of clean air.

What makes Blueair stand out from the rest?

Blueair was founded on the firm belief that the freedom to breathe is a basic right. Each of their air purifiers are fitted with High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters, which are incredibly effective at capturing almost every size of airborne particles found in the indoor air we breathe.

Did you know that only Blueair air purifiers have HEPASilent™ technology delivering maximum filtration¹ with minimum noise²?

This pioneering Blueair filtration technology cleans the air faster¹ and produces more¹ clean air by combining traditional mechanical filtration with electrostatic charging of particles.

Meet Blueair’s most advanced air purifier ever, HealthProtect™

Blueair's HealthProtect™, is the only air purifier to provide 24/7 protection against viruses and bacteria.

Even when your air purifier is on standby, the patent-pending GermShield™ technology proactively monitors your room and kills viruses³ and bacteria on the filters using low air draft and plasma charging. A gentle stream of air then ensures no new growth of germs.

Apart from GermShield™, the HealthProtect™ series also has various other tech such as:

HEPASilent Ultra™: Removes and kills 99% of germs⁴ while delivering 50% more clean air with 10% less noise and 55% less energy than traditional true HEPA filtration.⁵

SpiralAir™: Are uniquely engineered to deliver 360°, omni-directional airflow - quickly circulating more clean air to every corner of the room - so you breathe clean air wherever you are.

SmartFilter: There are two main filters attached to their purifiers. One particle filter layer and one active carbon filter layer combine to remove gas, odors, smoke, VOCs, exhaust, smog, and chemicals from the air. A smart RFID chip even tracks use and notifies you through the Blueair app when it is time to replace it, with a maximum 1 year lifetime.

Tips to choose the right air purifier!

Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR)
The higher the CADR number of the air purifier, the faster the unit cleans the air for you.

Blueair HealthProtectTM 7770i is one of the highest CADR air purifiers in the market. It is tested according to various standards globally and locally used CADR standards. Blueair air purifiers had Independent Testing and Validation through the AHAM Verifide® Certification Program.

Room Size and Air Changes Per Hour (ACH)
Air changes per hour is a vitally important measurement for gauging how effective indoor air is exchanged or filtered. We need to make sure the air purifier is placed in the recommended room size in order to achieve a minimum of 4.8 ACH.

Rooms with high traffic, such as smoking rooms, factories or hospitals, will be highly recommended to have 10 ACH to achieve total filtration every 6 minutes.

Removes even the tiniest particles

To ensure healthy indoor air quality, an air purifier needs to remove as many airborne pollutants as possible and fast too. What sets their technology apart is that it removes at least 99.99%⁶ of airborne particles but at a quicker¹ rate than traditional HEPA filtration. Bid goodbye to polluted air with Blueair today!
