Air purifier for a child's room - Klarta

Did you know that a child's immune system develops until age 15?

A child's respiratory system is also more sensitive to air pollution while it is still in development. Is an air purifier for a kid's room a good idea? Absolutely! 

Read the article to learn more about how an air purifier helps protect little ones from respiratory infections, allergy symptoms, and skin issues.

Why should you purify the air in a child's room?

A newborn is not completely defenseless at birth. The immune system begins to develop during the prenatal stage. However, children's immunity is much weaker than that of adults.

Smog attacks "silently," meaning the consequences of smog exposure in children appear after a longer period. Protect your child from pollution by choosing a Klarta air purifier for their room.

What does an air purifier in a child's room do?

• Effectively removes microscopic smog particles.
• Helps neutralize bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms.
• Alleviates allergy symptoms.
• Helps protect the respiratory and immune systems.
• Prevents swelling of the upper respiratory tract, protects against shortness of breath and hypoxia.
• Allows regular ventilation of rooms (oxygen inflow, removal of carbon dioxide) even during the heating season.
  

Throughout the year, our children's bodies are exposed to various pollutants found both outdoors and indoors.

During the heating season, there is a significant increase in the presence of harmful smog substances in the air.

Meanwhile, children's immunity to viruses and bacteria is much lower than that of adults. Due to their immaturity and the higher number of breaths taken by children, their respiratory system is also more sensitive to pollution.

Children's growth also contributes to greater exposure to pollutants. Relatively heavy suspended particles accumulate near the ground, making children more susceptible to their effects.

ESCAPE project: air pollution and children's health

As part of the European Study of Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects (ESCAPE), children aged 6 to 8 were studied. It was confirmed that long-term exposure to PM2.5, PM10, and nitrogen oxides leads to deterioration of respiratory parameters.

Spanish scientists observing students attending schools near busy streets proved the negative impact of suspended particles and nitrogen dioxide on cognitive processes.

Suspended particles and benzo(a)pyrene settle in our respiratory tracts, causing cough and shortness of breath. They also reach the lungs, where prolonged exposure can lead to permanent changes.

How does Klarta protect children's health?

The heart of Klarta air purifiers is the H13 filter. Combined with other filters and ionization, it guarantees clean air free from pollutants.

Klarta air purifiers for children's rooms can remove smog particles, including PM2.5, with almost 100% effectiveness (up to 99.97%). Smog envelops Polish air mainly in winter, resulting in lower immunity to infections and stronger allergy symptoms.

Air purifier against allergies for children

Spring and summer are times of intense plant pollen and mold spore development. April and May are the months for linden and birch pollen. In June, grasses and nettles begin to pollinate. The summer months see the proliferation of mold spores and fungi such as Alternaria and Cladosporium.

All year round, we are exposed to harmful substances from the interiors of our homes. Dust mites include shed human and pet skin cells. They are most commonly found on clothing, furniture, or bedding surfaces, as well as hidden in mattresses or pillow fillings.

While it's easiest to get rid of dust mites in bedding, blankets, or pillows by washing them regularly, those on surfaces can be captured by an air purifier.

Effective tool against dust

Even the best air purifier for infants may be ineffective without a carefully designed H13 filter. It forms the basis of a good air purifier for dust mites. Made from fine polymer fibers, it filters particles as small as 0.01 microns – about 70 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair.

The H13 filter captures dust mites, plant pollen, PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 particles, bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. Larger contaminants, such as hair, fur, or dust clumps, are captured by the pre-filter, which can be easily cleaned with a vacuum or damp cloth every 3-4 weeks.

Choosing an air purifier for a child's room

The best air purifier for both infants and older children is one that:

• Is uncompromising: Thanks to sensitive sensors, Klarta air purifiers quickly detect air pollutants. A rigorously designed algorithm helps quickly remove them in automatic mode.
• Guarantees quiet and smooth operation: Multiple speed levels and Silent modes ensure quiet operation and smooth changes in motor speed.
• Is visually attractive: The Klarta Stor air purifier is available in 3 color versions. Klarta Forste offers 6 color variants.
• Klarta Forste – air purifier for a child's room 100-430ft² 
• Klarta Stor – air purifier for a child's room 430-860ft²

For smaller rooms, we recommend our compact model Klarta Forste. Equipped with an effective set of HEPA, carbon, and pre-filters, it also has impressive purification efficiency (300 m³/h).

Smog and allergens stand no chance

A sensitive PM2.5 laser sensor and rigorously designed automatic mode make Klarta Forste accelerate air filtration when PM2.5 concentration exceeds 5 µg/m³. The purifier meets strict air quality standards proposed by the WHO, where the permissible daily PM2.5 concentration is 10 µg/m³.

When the pollution level in the child's room exceeds 35 µg/m³, the purifier will switch to the highest speed, so your child can breathe clean air as soon as possible.

An air purifier tailored to your daily rhythm

Equipped with a modern, brushless NIDEC motor, the Forste model ensures quiet operation without losing efficiency. This way, the air purifier in the children's room can be a helpful companion in work, study, or rest.

3 auto modes and 8 speed levels allow you to better adjust the intensity of purification to current needs. We recommend using the air purifier in automatic mode – it continuously reacts to every change in the air and quickly removes pollutants.

Additionally, the app offers a work schedule option, allowing precise programming of the purifier's time and mode of operation.

Healthy air in the child's room and the rest of the house

Purifying the child's room won't help if the rest of the house is filled with dust, various particles, bacteria, or viruses. To comprehensively care for our children's health, it's also worth investing in an air purifier for the living room or bedroom.

For larger Rooms: Klarta Stor – Ideal for 430 to 860 ft²

The larger and more powerful Klarta Stor is perfect for the living room and rooms open to other spaces. It is also an excellent air purifier for a kindergarten or nursery. Effective and efficient, this model has a purification capacity of up to 600 m³/h, cleaning areas up to 860 ft².

The finely designed H13 99.97% filter effectively captures all contaminants.

Humidifier for a child's room – is it worth it?

The optimal set? An air purifier with a Klarta humidifier. Dry air promotes the suspension of dust particles. When humidified, they become heavier and less mobile, making it easier for the air purifier to capture them, and you can clean them up with a vacuum or cloth.

Klarta Humea WiFi  evaporative humidifier ensure healthy conditions for your child's play, study, and rest.

By maintaining proper hydration of the nasal and throat mucous membranes, Klarta humidifiers positively affect children's immune systems, protecting them from irritation and infection.

Numerous cilia on the surface of mucous membranes filter the air, which is particularly important for small allergy sufferers.

Thinking comprehensively about air quality at home, it is worth investing in a set: Klarta brand air purifier with a humidifier.

Summary – is it worth buying an air purifier for a child's room?

Absolutely! An air purifier for a child helps maintain a healthy, safe environment free from smog, allergens, and chemical substances from furniture or finishing materials.
