The Air Children Breathe Matters

Children's lungs are still developing, which can make them more sensitive to the air they breathe every day.

What many people don't realise is that children often breathe faster than adults, spend a lot of time indoors, and are frequently exposed to dust, allergens and other airborne particles that can build up around the home. Things like dust mites, pet dander, mould spores, cooking fumes and everyday household pollutants can all affect indoor air quality, particularly in bedrooms and family living spaces.

When my daughter Kate was diagnosed with asthma, I started paying much closer attention to the air inside our home. It surprised me how easy it is to overlook indoor air quality simply because we can't see it.

While no air purifier can prevent or treat medical conditions, cleaner indoor air may help reduce airborne particles that can affect comfort, sleep and overall wellbeing. That's one of the reasons I created LunoAir to help families better understand the air they breathe and take practical steps towards creating a healthier home environment.
