Insights on indoor air quality, allergies, asthma, VOCs, and Austin Air air purifiers. Practical guides, clinical studies, and advice for healthier living.
We spend most of the day indoors, where the air can contain more pollutants than outdoors: fine particles, pollen, dust mites, mold, smoke and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as formaldehyde. In this blog we explain where they come from, what effects they can have and how to reduce them, with data from authoritative sources.
We also cover air purifiers: what really matters (HEPA filter, amount of activated carbon, contact time, air changes per hour), how to spot marketing tricks and how to choose the right model for your room.
To get started: the complete air purifier guide, the Austin Air buying guide, the model comparison and the air changes calculator.
