Which air purifier is suitable for my allergy or asthma?
Choose an air purifier for allergies or asthma
If you have allergies or asthma, you want an air purifier that relieves your symptoms. But what exactly should you keep in mind?
- If you have asthma, you want the air purifier to refresh all the air in a room at least 5 times per hour.
- In case of hay fever and other allergies, you want the air purifier to refresh all air in a room at least 3.5 times per hour.
- Keep windows and doors closed during cleaning to prevent 'polluted' air from entering.
- Do you also want to relieve asthma and allergy symptoms in the bedroom? Check the noise level and whether it has a night mode.
Air purifiers for asthma
If you have asthma, dust mites, fine dust, and smoke can irritate the lungs. This causes symptoms such as sneezing and itchy eyes. Want to relieve these symptoms? An air purifier has to refresh all the air in the room at least 5 times per hour. A HEPA and a carbon filter are also essential. Based on this information, we've calculated the maximum purifiable surface. All you have to do is choose the right air purifier for your room.
Air purifiers for allergies and hay fever
Pollen grains from various trees and plants float in the air almost all year. If you have hay fever, these pollen can lead to a stuffy nose and a dry cough. An air purifier filters pollen from the air, so you can breathe more easily at home. An air purifier also helps reduce other problems, such as pet hair or dust mite allergies. Air purifiers that reduce allergies and hay fever symptoms have a HEPA filter and purify all the air in the room 3.5 times per hour.
An air purifier for the bedroom
You want to be able to sleep without symptoms such as red eyes or a stuffy nose. In general, you can place any air purifier in your bedroom. But it's important to check the noise level of the air purifier and whether it has a night mode. We recommend purifiers for the bedroom with a maximum noise level of 30dB. Does your air purifier have a digital display? Check if it's a dimmable display.
