Blueair Classic 205: Can You Measure the Invisible? - GearBrain

Image
For nearly a year, I've puzzled about how to review the Wi-Fi-enabled Blueair Classic 205 smart air purifier ($349.99) and its complementary Blueair Aware air monitor ($199.99). For one thing, the claimed clean air benefits of the Classic 205 are cumulative – essentially better health through better air. So I have waited a year to see how having the Blueair in our apartment affected or improved my health. But I also encountered an odd reviewer's conundrum: how do I independently confirm the company's claims for the Classic Air 205's air filtering performance and benefits? But before I broach its efficacy, some Classic 205 and Aware basics. The Classic 205 is the smallest of the company's new-ish smart room air purifiers, designed to clear the air of airborne pollutants, especially allergy and asthma triggers, in rooms up to 280 square feet. According to Blueair, all the Classics use HEPASilent technology, and its "Classic Particle filter removes 99.97 percent o...

Free Air Purifiers for Early Childhood Education Centers and ... - Philadelphia Water Department

Image
One silver lining of the pandemic has been increased attention on improving our indoor air. That's particularly important in schools and early childhood education settings. COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses like flu and RSV are spread through the air, so air purifiers can help our children stay healthier in school, instead of being at home with an illness. With better ventilation and indoor air quality kids also feel better in and out of the classroom, which helps them do better in school .   With the mission of helping to provide better air quality, the Health Department began offering MedifyAir Purifiers to early childhood education centers at the beginning of the year. In the past two months, 384 air purifiers have been given to more than 280 childcare sites. The Health Department is now expanding the initiative to include Philadelphia K-12 schools.   Improving indoor air quality doesn't only address student health, it also has added e...

Best Air Filters for Your Central AC and Furnace - Consumer Reports

Image
Hidden away in your basement or attic, the air filter in your HVAC system is something you probably don't think about much. But a good air filter keeps your central air conditioner (and furnace) humming along by protecting the mechanicals from dust and debris. And the best filters trap indoor pollutants such as dust, pet dander, and pollen, helping to clean the air in your home. That's important because the concentration of air pollutants inside your home can be two to five times higher than concentrations typically found outdoors, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. We gauge how well an air filter removes dust, pollen, and smoke from the air, and see how freely air flows through the filter at any fan speed. We also calculate the annual costs of replacement filters, based on the manufacturer's recommendation for when to change them. (Keep in mind that prices may vary by retailer and that it may be cheaper if you buy filters in bulk.) "We find that thi...
