It’s always good to check the Air Quality Index (AQI), but can notice yourself that the quality of air in many cities has been unsatisfactory for a long time. You must have heard countless times the recommendations of the authorities to avoid sports activities and even walking during a certain period when air pollution is the strongest.

However, this means that your health is not only at risk outside, but also in your home, office, or any indoor space where you reside. Polluted air leads to numerous problems – from headaches, nausea, dry skin, to chronic lung diseases and heart attacks.

Unfortunately, there is very little we can do about the external factors that affect air pollution (except, of course, to be socially responsible and use cars less, avoid smoking, not use firewood, but switch to other heating alternatives, etc.).

The good news is that you can protect yourself and your loved ones indoors by purchasing an air purifier. However, what’s important to know is:

WHICH AIR PURIFIER TO CHOOSE BASED ON THE SURFACE AREA OF YOUR LIVING SPACE?

We recommend several different air purifiers that will easily fit into your home, depending of its size.

• If you need an air purifier efficient even in larger rooms, and also has great smart options – the Tesla AIR9 is your best choice. It is intended for rooms up to 96m².
• The Tesla AIR6 MAX air purifier uses a host of smart features to clean the air around you. It is intended for rooms up to 48m².
• The initial version of this purifier, the Tesla AIR6, is suitable for slightly smaller rooms – up to 36m².
• For even smaller rooms, up to 22 m², choose the Tesla AIR3 air purifier.
• The Tesla AIR3 Lite air purifier provides fresh and clean air and a healthier environment in smaller rooms – up to 12m².

Thanks to Tesla’s integrated air quality sensors on all devices, you can monitor current pollution levels via color-changing LED icons, in accordance with the values of the world-renowned Air Quality Index (AQI).

In addition, the HEPA filter with activated carbon removes air pollutants and bacteria. With a variety of filtration options, Tesla air purifiers help you eliminate fine dust, germs, pollen, and other particles you don’t want around you.

We hope that this blog post solved any doubts regarding air pollution, and we invite you to read additional tips on how to maximize the use of an air purifier.
