Our top three picks to help reduce indoor air pollution

Have you ever wondered how to reduce indoor air pollution? Although pollutants tend to go unnoticed on a day-to-day basis, they’re still kicking around your home, even when you think they’re not.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon dust, dead skin and pollen are just a few of the pollutants that could be lingering in the air you breathe. Ugh. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air can contain up two to five times more contaminants than outdoor air.

So long allergies

There’s nothing worse than feeling allergic to your own home – dust, pollen and animal fur are just a few nightmares that can stand in the way of you and a good nights sleep.

This air purifier uses Bluetooth technology to connect to an app that indicates pollen levels in your area and auto adjusts when allergens and VOCs are detected in the home. The HEPA filter cleans air of pet dander and dust.
