It’s that time of year – new clothes, shoes, pens, pencils, backpacks and nervous excitement for kids and parents alike. But, as you shuffle the kiddos off to embark on yet another school year, have you stopped to consider the quality of air he or she is breathing every day in the car, bus or inside their classroom?
It’s a fact that indoor air quality can affect intellectual quotient or, IQ test scores, cognitive development (even prenatal exposure) and trigger respiratory illnesses like asthma and allergies.
Today’s Poor IAQ: Indoor Air Quality
The EPA and its Science Advisory Board (SAB) have consistently ranked indoor air pollution among the top five environmental risks to public health. Contamination can come from a variety of sources including molds, carcinogenic fibers like fiberglass or asbestos, formaldehyde, dander, pollen, bacteria, dust, dust mites, smoke and smog, and volatile organic compounds that off-gas from furnishings and cleaning products to air fresheners and building materials, just to name a few. But, did you know poor indoor air quality can also affect cognitive function in not just adults, but children and teens, too?
Did You Know? Air pollution is one of those obstacles that can have an enormous impact on your cognitive performance and even your attention span – and that’s not an impediment you can afford to face if you’re trying to stay at the top of your class, no matter your grade. ~IQAir

The Indoor Air Quality / IQ Connection
A University of Southern California and UCLA Center for Health Policy Research study suggests teen exposure to poor air quality could reduce IQ levels long-term by posing adverse effects on brain structure and function. Breathing polluted air can impair memory and reasoning, reduce academic performance, and even lower intelligence, according to research. In fact, the study revealed that ‘for every increase of 2.5 micrograms per meter cubed (µg/m³) of fine-particle pollution (PM2.5) surrounding the teens’ homes, their performance IQ score dropped one point.’ According to Pan Wang, a lead author of the study,
Air pollution may have adverse effects on brain structure.”
According to IQAir, research revealed that breathing polluted air could impair memory and reasoning, reduce academic performance, and even lower intelligence.
Did You Know? Researchers found that, for every increase of 2.5 micrograms per meter cubed (µg/m³) of fine-particle pollution (PM2.5) surrounding the teens’ homes, their performance IQ score dropped one point.
The Solution: IQAir
Did you know ordinary HEPA filters can only filter 0.3-micron particles and larger? IQAir’s line of patented HyperHEPA filter goes further. HyperHEPA filters remove 99.5% of particles down to 0.003 microns, which are 10,000% smaller than the Department of Energy’s required 0.3-micron particle size.
The IQAir HyperHEPA filter removes course (pollen and mold), fine (allergens, bacteria, and dust) and ultrafine particles down to 0.003 microns. Ultrafine particles, or UFP’s, are the most prevalent and most dangerous particles consisting of over 90 percent of all airborne particles. These UFP’s include pollutants such as viruses, tobacco smoke, and soot. Ultrafine particles are inhaled and absorbed directly into the lungs where they penetrate tissues and can be incorporated into the bloodstream due to their small size. Once in the blood, these ultrafine particles can reach any organ or part of the body.

My favorite is the Atem Car. I’d love to have one in my Jeep.
We agree fellow Jeep owner! It’s great because you can move it from the car to the house or hotel very easily!
I’d really like to have the The Perfect 16® to combat the excessive amount of dust throughout my house.
Great choice Annette!
IQAir HealthPro becaue it helps with allergies
It’s hard to beat this one Forrest! We absolutely love + recommend the IQAir HealthPro!
We have an old air purifier that was fixed by manufacturer and still doesn’t work right. It’s ironic for any new purifier from you’re contest and collection would be welcomed. But the dust in our home is a real issue, so the Perfect 16 would be a great pick!
I like the home purifier it covers a lot of square feet
I have not used IQAir Products yet, but I’ve been curious for quite awhile now. I am a severe allergy sufferer and asthmatic – so I’m always looking for preventative every day things I can do around the house to avoid always using my inhaler. The IQAir HealthPro looks absolutely fabulous for allergy sufferers like me!
It’s the #1 rated air purifier and no doubt will help with your allergies and asthma, Rachel! Good luck.
They are the best. Products ever. Do yourself a favor and add buy one.
We couldn’t agree more Geffery!
Since I have been homebound due to illness not able to clean as once before, and I cannot be outside in sunshine without suffering, it’s been a long suffering couple yrs, breathing the same ukkk Air isn’t good I know, t. I’ve been needing a great Air purifier such as this one!! This top of the line sounds perfect for me and my small space and know it would be super beneficial to my health, greatly appreciate this opportunity for the chance of this amazing Air purifier and of course praying for better health with winter coming and I can’t tolerate the heat with the way my sinuses are, allergies, etc..
Sorry to hear about your illness, Lisa. Any of the IQAir purifiers will make a marked improvement in your indoor air and hence, your health. By absorbing airborne contaminants, it takes a load off your body burden of what you would otherwise be inhaling and less dust means less housework 🙂 It’s a win-win!
My favorite product is the The IQAir HealthPro Plus. Would be great for our family allergies.
IQAir HealthPro Plus would be so perfect for my family
I haven’t had the good fortune to use any of the IQAir products, but I hear the IQAir HealthPro Plus is fantastic.
The 5-in-1 purifier looks great!
I haven’t tried any of your products, but they have high ratings and would like to try them
The air purifier is great ! It makes me actually feel younger
The HealthPro Plus looks like a great filter.
Definitely the air purifier
Atem 5-in-1 Air Purifier would be my choice.

Have Never Heard Of This Brand. But Would Like To try It.
I haven’t had the chance to use any of your products but would love to try!
Air Purifier
Don’t have one yet, hope to have one soon!
The IQAir HealthPro sounds like it would be very helpful for me with my allergy issues!
I think this would be beneficial to my son who has allergies.
The IQ Air Atem Personal Air Purifier sounds perfect for those who spend a good part of the day in a confined space, especially if that space has lots of two or four legged traffic and indoor and outdoor pollution. And since it is portable and can be taken with you to home or office that makes it even better plus with the car upgrade kit it’s a homerun.
Agree Del! The convenience of being able to take a personal air purifier with you, on the go, is priceless!
I don’t have a air purifier for my home but would love any of your products. They all seem like wonderful products.
The IQ Air Car Air Purifier interests me! I’ve read that contaminants build up inside closed-up cars, and that windows should be rolled down for a few minutes while driving to get rid of as many as possible. A car air purifier makes a great deal of sense!
I have not tried the products yet, but I would like to win one and give it a go!
Atem 5-in-1 Air Purifier
The Atem seems to be on of the best products because it cleans the air of mostly all pollutants and is good or those who have asthma and other medical conditions such as bronchial concerns, etc. It also has a sleek and modern design which I feel goes well with any interior household designs.
5 and one air purifier as my son and I both have asthma
I have yet to try any IQAir products. I just watched the video on the Atem 5-in-1 Personal Air Purifier from IQAir and I must say I was amazed! How nice it would be to take it with you to work, in the car or wherever needed. Many days my allergies get the best if me even with my medication so this sure would come in handy! Thanks!
I haven’t tried any air purifiers as of yet. However we do need to get one or more. One family member has COPD and another bad allergies. These personal ones by IQAir look awesome.
Yes, Theresa! The Atem air purifier is so small and convenient to place almost anywhere! It has superior filtration and looks very sleek, too.
The IQAir Atem personal air purifier sounds great for me. I live in Texas, where allergies are a way of life!
The Atem 5-in-1 Personal Air Purifier is my favorite item.
As I am an asthmatic the 5 in one air purifier looks great
I would love to try these products in our home! I don’t have a favorite yet, but I will definitely be looking into it!!
I don’t have a favorite product yet… but I would truly love a great air purifier like the 5-in-1 for my office- which is also the “dog room”!
IQAir Atem is a great product! I travel a lot, and this is a great way to get the air in my hotel room freshened up!
the air purifiers for sure
i like the Perfect 16
The Perfect 16 is the PERFECT system for my home. NOT ONLY does it help eliminate animal dander from the air (family run animal rescue) but it also eliminates the germs and mold spores in the air to keep us all healthier. I feel that this system is the BEST!!!!
I would LOVE to have any of these wonderful products!
I think the IQAir Mask is a fantastic product.
My favorite is the Perfect 16. Between the air pollution, the animal dander and the pollens it sounds like the perfect system for my home! Doing animal rescue the animal hair and dander is a constant issue!
ALL OF THEM!!! They would all be great for me!
I like all of their products, do not have one particular favorite
air purifier
I have not tried any of these products, but the IQAir HealthPro Plus looks great.
