Always Healthy Air
Why children are a separate target group
Faster breathing
Children breathe faster and inhale relatively more air per kilogram of body weight than adults — including more polluted particles.Lungs still developing
Children's lungs keep developing into their teenage years, which can make them more sensitive to the effects of fine dust.More time indoors
Babies and toddlers spend most of their time in the bedroom and child's room — exactly where indoor air has the most effect.
Ultrafine particles around Schiphol and complaints in children
RIVM research around Schiphol found more respiratory complaints among children during short-term higher concentrations of ultrafine particles, especially among children who already had complaints. It is not proof that long-term exposure causes disease. Ultrafine particles call for attention to a device's overall performance — not just its filter classification.

Frequently asked questions
Children breathe faster and inhale relatively more air per kilogram of body weight than adults, and their lungs are still developing. RIVM research around Schiphol found that short-term higher concentrations of ultrafine particles were linked to more respiratory complaints and medication use among children, especially those who already had complaints. The RIVM stresses this is not proof that long-term exposure causes respiratory disease.
Treat an air purifier in a child's room like any electrical appliance: place it on a stable surface, out of reach of young children, and keep the cord and plug out of the way. At night, choose a quiet model on a low setting; the stated noise level for each model is listed in the specifications on its product page.
An air purifier can help reduce exposure to pollen, house dust mites and fine dust indoors, as a complement to — never a replacement for — medical advice. If there are symptoms, always consult a doctor or paediatrician.
Our IonFlow home models have no fan, so they make no fan noise. For other air purifiers, check the stated noise level per setting; it is listed in the specifications on the product page.
