So happy our air purifiers can help with pollution — and also filter out viruses, bacteria, allergens, and more!

“Hello Smart Air team! We have been using the Blast Mini and the Sqair for about a month: and have enjoyed the experience (benefitted from the clean air over Diwali, inspite of all the firecrackers).”

This lovely story comes from Laxmi Char, along with their rescue pup Mili. 🐶

In areas with higher levels of ammonium nitrate in the air, children around ages 9–10 showed slightly lower memory and learning performance. The particles mainly come from farming activities and fuel burning. More: today.usc.edu/exposure-to-...

The air kids breathe can affect how well they see. Polluted air can speed up eyesight problems, but cleaner air helps protect their vision as they grow.

Plants bring life and calm. 🌱 But sadly, they can’t clean out air pollution. Purifiers still do the real work.
Scatter plot showing particulate levels in a room with multiple plants over 365 days. Most data points are far above the red dashed line representing the WHO safe limit, indicating that indoor pollution remained high despite the presence of plants.

Benzene, a chemical in car exhaust and fuel, can interfere with how our bodies use sugar for energy. Research shows that long-term exposure may raise the risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

What do the data say about decorative mask chains?
Adding a chain didn’t really change the fit of N95, KF94, or KN95 masks.

In a study done in several cities in China, about 10.7% of new flu cases were related to exposure to PM2.5.

Screenshot of a research article discussing the relationship between air pollution and infectious diseases in China. A highlighted section notes that a multicity study in China found 10.7% of new influenza cases could be attributed to exposure to ambient particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5). It also mentions that air pollutants including PM2.5, sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) have been studied for their effects on influenza incidence.
