Child’s Room Air Purifier for Cleaner Indoor Air

All good parents want their children to be healthy and to have a clean and safe space to live in. One area you might not have considered, which facilitates health and safety for your child, is the air in your home that your child breathes. Could the air be affecting your child without you knowing it?

Contaminants in the Air

Every home includes a variety of airborne particles that we end up breathing in. Unfortunately, the indoor air can be more harmful than outside air because of a lack of movement and indoor sources of contamination. This has become more of a problem than it used to be because modern homes are made more airtight and people tend to spend more time indoors.

The air inside your home can include dust, mold, chemical fumes, smoke and other particles. These contaminants are especially harmful for a child who has allergies or asthma because they can trigger flare-ups.

How to Protect Your Child

One way to give your child fresher air is to have him go outside more often. You hear the advice to get your children outdoors so they can exercise more. Well, going outside can also help their health through more exposure to healthier air.

If you have a child who spends most of his time between video games, television and computer activities, send him outside more often. You could even have your child do homework and art projects at a table outdoors. Plus, encourage your child to spend more time outside the house by doing more outdoor activities as a family, such as camping, hiking, swimming and picnics.

For times your child is indoors, consider air purification filters to create a healthier home. An air purifier in your child’s room will provide cleaner air for her to breathe while she sleeps and spends time with activities in her room. With the filter in the child’s room, you can create cleaner air for the bulk of the time she spends in the house.

A HEPA filter will help you catch more of the smaller particles that can float in the air. The 7-StageAir Purifier Plus Humidifier HEPA UV Dreval D-850 includes a HEPA filter to help clean your child’s room. It also has other levels of protection, including a cellular activated carbon filter to cleanse the air of smoke and fumes.

It’s easy to add the use of a purifier to other activities for cleaning your indoor air, including getting more airflow by opening windows and using proper ventilation when you cook or use chemicals.
