For most pediatricians and doctors, the winter season is the busiest time of the year. Though parents typically report the common flu and/or cold as the culprit, what is often overlooked as the cause to a child’s or adult’s symptoms, is the state of their indoor air-quality. Quite often, poor indoor air quality is the cause for prolonged illness, difficulty with sleeping and respiratory discomfort. A HEPA filter can filter out at least 99.97% of airborne particles. With a high efficiency silent HEPA-Air filter, the Airpod by Blueair is an intelligent solution for improving your indoor air quality.

Compared to those filters with comparable performance rates, the Airpod uses approximately 60% less material in its manufacturing process. The Airpod costs less to run than a single light bulb and it does not generate ozone by products like that of Sharper Image’s Ionic Breeze.

Air filtration units used for large areas of space (approx.200sq ft -600sq ft) range anywhere from $150 to $800. It can be quite an investment to purchase such units for every room in your house or apartment. The Airpod allows for good air quality in your smaller personal spaces and is ideal for travel. The sleek and compact design measures at 6.3″H x 6.3″W x 4.3″D and allows for easy mobility. The unit covers up to 50 sq. ft. and costs $99.95. This is one of the most economical products out on the market for its quality, design and function (several colorways are on sale at BlueAir). You can find a Graco® HEPA Air Purifier, which covers up to 160 sq ft for $59.99, but the Airpod is more aesthetically pleasing, compact and mobile.

Parents, take the Airpod to work with you so that you can filter out those unwanted particles floating in your office’s air. Sustaining your own good health is just as important as sustaining your child’s. As well, the Airpod is perfect for your child’s playroom/area. If you are unable to purchase an air filtration unit for the entire nursery room, the air pod can dock next to your baby’s crib while it’s sleeping and you can easily move it to where ever you go to nurse and cuddle with your baby.
The Airpod is available through a variety of online stores such as The Clean Bedroom and retailers such as Bed Bath and Beyond.
