You can breathe (or, atem) a sigh of relief because two of you have a chance to win one (in your choice of color)!
You Are What You Breathe
AchOoOo! Are you one of the one in five Americans who suffer from allergies? According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), allergies are not limited to spring and fall. Allergy season lasts all year long, with approximately 50 million Americans suffering from indoor/outdoor allergies (allergic rhinitis) and it’s no fun.
It’s not just allergies we need to be concerned with. Asthma rates are on the rise, and many people are looking for solutions to keep their air clean while at home and at work. In fact, asthma rates have doubled – even quadrupled – in certain parts of the country over the past 20 years. Like filtered water, filtered air is quickly becoming a necessity to live a healthy life.
We take 25,000 breaths a day and it’s often dirty air we’re breathing in. However, there are solutions. We’re thrilled to introduce you to a product that not only works effectively, but is affordable and oh-so cute. Good looks aside, Atem’s HyperHEPA air filter removes 95% of all particles from the air down to the 0.003 micron level (smaller than most viruses) that we breathe at home or work. The Atem Personal Air Purifier is truly a revolution in air purification. Sleek. Compact. Powerful. Watch & learn what makes the Atem a must have to create your own personal clean air zone:
While outdoor air is important, indoor air is often more polluted than outside and can lead to lower productivity, higher rates of asthma and heart disease, as well as contribute to depression and obesity. Air pollution has also been shown to lead to lower birth weight rates and can even cause wrinkles and premature aging, oy!
