Wildfire smoke is a mixture of harmful particles and gases that pose a severe health risk to anyone (including pets) nearby and downwind.
The IQAir HealthProPlus is the most powerful air purifier available and the best choice for protection against wildfire smoke. It is the only air purifier with HyperHEPA® filtration, which filters down to the tiniest particles known to exist (0.003 microns - the size of a virus).
#1 Choice for protection against wildfire smoke
The HealthPro® Plusdeploys four levels of advanced air filtration to help protect against most of the toxic components of wildfire smoke:
- PreMax™ pre-filter: Controls larger, coarse particles as well as micro-particles in smoke before they reach other filters in system.
- Activated Carbon: IQAir MultiGas™ granulated activated carbon from bituminous coal adsorbs dangerous chemicals such as nitrogen oxides.
- Impregnated Activated Alumina: The HealthPro Plus also includes pelletized chemisorption media to destroy other harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde.
- HyperHEPA Filter: Only IQAir HyperHEPA®filtration is proven and certified effective against soot and other particles of all sizes, including tiny ultrafine particles that are absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
What makes wildfire smoke dangerous to breathe?
- Ultrafine particles (0.01 microns or smaller) from wildfire smoke can increase your risk for acute (sudden) heart failure and cardiac arrest
- Wildfire smoke particles can cause respiratory problems such as asthma flare-ups
- Smoke particles and gases from a nearby wildfire can quickly build up inside your home
- Wildfires release nitrogen oxide and hydrocarbons that contribute to elevated ozone levels
- Wildfire smoke can drift thousands of miles, affecting air quality and increasing health risks far from the wildfire itself
- Breathing ozone can trigger coughing, throat irritation and congestion in healthy people. Ozone can also worsen symptoms of bronchitis, emphysema and asthma
