Since 1984, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/aafa.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA)<\/a>\u00a0has designated May to raise awareness about the significance of proper diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management of these conditions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With asthma and allergy symptoms reaching their peak during the Spring season, this is a perfect time to inform and educate those around us about asthma and allergies and emphasize the critical role that indoor air quality (IAQ) plays in managing these health concerns.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensuring clean indoor air is one of the most important steps we can take toward maintaining a healthy living space. Surprisingly, the air inside our homes can often be more harmful than the air outside, as it contains a variety of pollutants. Day-to-day activities such as cooking, cleaning, painting and even burning fuel (and candles!) release particles and chemicals like Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) into the air. It\u2019s clear that indoor air quality can have a serious impact on our health.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most effective ways to achieve cleaner air is by using a portable air cleaner. These devices can significantly reduce airborne allergens and pollutants, helping create a healthier environment for you and your family. Indoor air pollution ranks among the top five environmental risks to public\u00a0health, and with more of us spending time indoors, portable air cleaners can be a game changer for anyone seeking better IAQ, especially for individuals with asthma and allergies. Let\u2019s explore why these devices matter and how to make sure you\u2019re selecting one that truly works for you.<\/p>\n<h3>Why Air Quality Matters Now More Than Ever<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know the dangers of poor outdoor air quality\u2014from car exhaust to industrial pollution\u2014but did you know that indoor air can be up to five times more polluted? Dust mite allergen, pollen, pet dander, and mold spores circulate in the air and settle on surfaces, only to be stirred up again when you walk across the room or sit on the couch. If you or a family member has asthma or allergies, these particles can trigger symptoms, making it hard to find relief indoors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s where portable air cleaners come in. Designed to filter out these irritants, portable air cleaners can help create a healthier living environment. But not all devices are created equal, and understanding what makes a good air cleaner is key to making an informed purchase.<\/p>\n<h3>What Makes an Effective Portable Air Cleaner?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While many air cleaners promise to improve indoor air, how many manufacturers can back those claims with solid scientific evidence? The\u00a0<strong>Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae\u00a0<\/strong>Certification Program was developed to give consumers confidence by rigorously testing products in real-world conditions. A portable air cleaner must meet strict performance standards before earning this certification, ensuring that it not only removes allergens but also prevents them from re-entering the air you breathe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s what goes into certifying a portable air cleaner:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Removing Allergens from the Air: To earn the\u00a0<strong>Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong>Certification, air cleaners must reduce airborne allergen levels by at least 90%. Testing simulates real-life scenarios in a controlled chamber, complete with carpet, furniture, and allergen-laden dust. The air cleaner must prove its ability to capture allergens of different sizes like dust mite allergen, pollen, and cat allergen particles.<\/li>\n<li>Capturing the Allergen, Not Just Moving It: It\u2019s not enough to just filter the air. Certified air cleaners must also demonstrate that they capture the allergens in their filter rather than just moving them to another surface where they could be stirred up again. At least 50% of the allergens removed from the air must be captured within the air cleaner\u2019s filter.<\/li>\n<li>Keeping You Safe from Ozone: Some air cleaners generate ozone, a gas that can irritate the lungs and worsen respiratory issues, particularly in people with asthma. The\u00a0<strong>Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong>Certification ensures that any ozone produced by the air cleaner is kept at extremely low levels (less than 0.05ppm), making it safe for indoor use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"fusion-image-element in-legacy-container\" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1049\" height=\"727\" alt=\"Portable air cleaner infographic\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Air-purifier-Air-Cleaner-new-infographic.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-402092\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Air-purifier-Air-Cleaner-new-infographic-200x139.jpg 200w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Air-purifier-Air-Cleaner-new-infographic-400x277.jpg 400w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Air-purifier-Air-Cleaner-new-infographic-600x416.jpg 600w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Air-purifier-Air-Cleaner-new-infographic-800x554.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Air-purifier-Air-Cleaner-new-infographic.jpg 1049w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1049px\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<h3>Types of Filtration to Consider<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several types of filtration technology used in portable air cleaners, and knowing the difference can help you make a more informed choice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2219\u00a0<strong>HEPA Filters:<\/strong> Simply put, this is a fine mesh folded a bit like an accordion that traps particles as air is pushed through it by a fan. It can trap 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns or larger. These filters trap common allergens like dust, pollen, and pet dander.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2219\u00a0<strong>Activated Carbon Filters:<\/strong> These filters are great for tackling gases and odors, like those from household cleaning products or paint. While they may not capture allergens, combining a HEPA filter with an activated carbon filter can tackle both particulate matter and odors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u2219\u00a0Electrostatic Filters:<\/strong> These filters charge particles as they pass through, causing them to stick to metal plates. While effective at trapping particles, it\u2019s important to ensure they don\u2019t generate harmful ozone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u2219\u00a0UV Light:<\/strong> UV light is capable of killing microorganisms, and UV light sources can sometimes be present in room air cleaners, and also in HVAC systems. UV light requires time to kill microorganisms, so make sure it\u2019s actually effective, rather than just a sales pitch!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u2219\u00a0Ionizers and Ozone Generators:<\/strong> Air cleaners that emit harmful quantities of ozone during air purification are not recommended, as inhaling ozone can cause harmful health effects. While ionizers are sometimes linked to health concerns due to the potential impact of positive ions, research supports the safety of air cleaners that produce predominantly negative ions.<\/p>\n<h3>Introducing Our Certified Air Cleaner Partners<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are proud to partner with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/?s=LG&amp;sentence=1&amp;post_type=certified_products\">LG,<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/?s=Blueair&amp;sentence=1&amp;post_type=certified_products\">Blueair,<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/certified_products\/uncategorized\/alen-breathesmart-35i-air-purifier\/\">Alen<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/?s=rabbit+air&amp;sentence=1&amp;post_type=certified_products\">Rabbit Air,<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/?s=cleanforce&amp;sentence=1&amp;post_type=certified_products\">CleanForce<\/a>, all of whom are committed to improving indoor air quality through their Certified\u00a0<strong>Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae\u00a0<\/strong>air purifiers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u2219\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/?s=alen&amp;sentence=1&amp;post_type=certified_products\">Alen<\/a>:<\/strong> An Austin-based innovator of high-performance air purifiers, and &#8211; we are very pleased to say -our most recent Certified partner!

The Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) can help you determine if the device is powerful enough for the space. Air purifiers with higher CADR ratings will be able to clean the air within a space more quickly than models with a lower CADR rating. So remember, if you purchase an air cleaner with a CADR rating too low for your room, you will find it ineffective.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While CADR is a useful tool to assist in selecting an appropriate air cleaner, you should also consider the environment in which it is to operate. Your indoor air is very much a function of your outdoor air, and if you live in an area with high environmental particulate load, this will impact how often you need to change your filter.<\/p>\n<h3>Final Thoughts<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we support and observe Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month, now is the perfect time to take steps toward improving the air in your home. Portable air cleaners are an excellent addition to your overall strategy for better IAQ. By investing in a high-quality, validated air cleaner, you\u2019re not only improving the air you breathe but also taking a proactive step toward safeguarding your long-term health and well-being.<\/p>\n<\/div><div style=\"text-align:center;\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat button-medium button-default fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-default-span
