Blueair

Swedish Blueair, designing air purifiers to create the safest environment for children to develop and grow, has joined forces with the Child Health Academy to educate British paediatricians, GPs, nurses and midwives on the impact of indoor air pollution on the health and development of children. This CPD educational programme, the first of its kind, is also designed to help HCPs advice parents.

A 6-month study across nursery schools in London, commissioned by the London Mayor, released today show that Blueair air purifiers have demonstrated a “positive impact on the nursery indoor air quality reducing PM2.5 and in some cases NO2”. London Mayor also called on the British government to urgently bring in industry performance and design standards for air filtration systems.

The HEPASilent™ technology used in all Blueair air purifiers successfully capture 99.97% of airborne particles such as viruses and bacteria”, says Blueair CTO Daniel Johansson, adding that the Blueair Classic 280i remove the most common bacteria and viruses including H1N1 A/PR8/34 with a clearance rate of over 99.99%, as well as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Aspergillus

Blueair air purifiers are yet again recognized for its positive impact on the health and well-being of children, winning the 2019 “Parenting Award” in Japan. The award, which celebrates “the best products of the year”, comes in recognition of Blueair air purifiers “contributing to the creation of a child-friendly air quality environment".

Blueair and Children's Climate Prize earlier this year announced the launch of a new Clean Air Prize. The prize, 100.000 SEK, has been awarded to Nav and Vihaan Agarwal, aged 12 and 15, for their organisation One Step Greener, which by striving for a zero-waste future, aims to reduce air pollution and improve health and wellbeing of people in Delhi, the world’s most polluted city.

United Family Healthcare, a leading hospital group in China, has chosen Blueair air purifiers for its new Pediatric Clinic in Shanghai, making Shanghai United Family Hospital the first hospital in China to ensure clean air for patients and staff.

Blueair is a proud founding member of the UK’s first business coalition dedicated to tackling air pollution. Together with eight major businesses, including Philips and Uber, Swedish Blueair has teamed up with the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs and air pollution campaigners Global Action Plan, to create the Business Clean Air Taskforce.

A survey of teachers and staff at three London schools one year after the installation of Blueair air purifiers, show that improving classroom air quality can have a major effect on the health and learning of children.
