CERTIFIED asthma & allergy friendly® Dyson air purifiers feature in this best list.

On average, people spend up to 90% of their time indoors, and indoor air can be two and a half times as polluted as outdoor air. Indoor Air Quality is of particular concern for those affected by asthma and allergies, but a healthier home is of broader benefit to all. 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.
