Parents, Protect Your Baby's Health With an Air Purifier

Unhealthy air can create many problems for a new baby and one of the worst is asthma. An air purifier in your babies room can help prevent problems now and worse problems in the future. You see, if there is smoke, pet hair and dander, pollen, dust or a host of other irritants in the air in your home, those irritants are getting into your lungs and into your baby's lungs.

Little children are at greater risk than older children or adults and respiratory problems that develop when your baby is little will plague him or her throughout life. It's as important for you baby to breath clean air as it is for your baby to have clean clothes, clean food and clean water and the best way to have clean air is with an air cleaner or purifier.

Expert advice on baby / child health problems

It's almost impossible to keep dust and pollen out of the air without an air purifier, let alone smoke and pet dander. Even if you stop smoking and get rid of the family pet, your baby can be affected by other impurities in the air. There are several options available in the selection of an air purifier filter. There are single room models and larger units that will filter the air in an entire house.

That's great if your budget will allow, but consider your baby's room to be the top priority. The important thing is to get an air filter that will effectively clean the air your baby is breathing. If you have pets or smokers in the house, you'll need a more effective air cleaner. Look for the HEPA label. HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particle Arrester and a HEPA filter will remove very small particles from the air.
