According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), asthma and allergies affect one out of four Americans. The AAFA and Allergy Standards Limited (ASL) developed the asthma & allergy friendlyâ„¢ Certification Program to help sufferers find products that fit their needs.
The program recently announced the first air purifier to pass the certification’s rigorous standards and testing ─ Amway Global’s ATMOSPHERE® Air Purifier.
“This certification process is very thorough and difficult, but our scientists have developed the ATMOSPHERE Air Purifier to meet the strictest guidelines for air purity. We’re honored to have the first air purifier certified by the AAFA under its new testing program,” says Andy Gamm, Amway Global Brand Manager ─ Air Purification.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the air inside your home could be more polluted than outside. The ATMOSPHERE Air Purifier automatically monitors and protects the quality of your home’s environment. ATMOSPHERE effectively reduces odors and removes up to 99.99 percent of airborne particles that are drawn into it, stopping allergens as small as 0.009 microns. These include particles such as pollen, bacteria, dust mites, viruses, smoke and other allergens.
The ATMOSPHERE Air Purifier earned the asthma & allergy friendlyâ„¢ Certification Mark after passing scientific testing conducted by ASL at accredited laboratories. Products being considered are measured against scientifically designed testing protocols and rigorously enforced testing procedures. If they meet the criteria, these products are declared more suitable for asthmatics and people with related allergic sensitivities. They’re identified by an asthma & allergy friendlyâ„¢ Certification Mark, making it easy for consumers to spot the products that fit their needs.
