Verywell Family consults Medical experts as part of their process and in this case they consulted our CEO Dr. John McKeon 

“If you have children in your household, you may want to consider an air purifier with a true HEPA filter,” says John McKeon, MD, CEO and founder of Allergy Standards Limited (ASL). “These are highly effective at removing small particles, such as pollen, pet dander, and dust mites, which can trigger allergies and asthma symptoms in some individuals. You may also want to look for an air purifier with a low noise level [dB], as children may be more sensitive to loud noises.”

Verywell FamilyIn the article Dr. McKeon also recommends to look for an air purifier that has a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter as these filters can remove at least 99.9 percent of dust, pollen, mold, bacteria, and any airborne particles with a size of 0.1-0.3 microns (µm). Some air purifiers have a HEPA and charcoal or carbon filter, which can be especially helpful in removing gas and odor from the air. 

The CERTIFIED  air cleaners have passed rigorous scientific testing in our laboratories. In the case of air cleaners, we test the product in an environmentally-controlled chamber, using test dust that contains allergens. It is important that the air cleaner can remove allergens from the air, and that these are captured in the filter of the air cleaner. Different allergens act differently in the air, because they have different sizes and features. Our standard addresses these issues.

Our air cleaner standard is one of 46 standards in the asthma & allergy friendly® Certification Program, covering appliances, bedding products, air filters, building products, and services that can have an impact on the indoor air environment.
