Introduction
It's no secret that babies are more prone to respiratory illness than adults. But did you know that even at home, your baby's health can be threatened by the air they breathe? Even if you're diligent about maintaining a clean home, certain furnishings and household products may be making your baby sick.

Babies are more prone to respiratory illness.
Babies are more prone to respiratory illness than adults. That’s because their immune systems aren’t fully developed, and they breathe in more air per pound of body weight than adults do. (Adults inhale around 200-300 liters per day; babies evolve anywhere from 400-800 liters.) Babies also have smaller nasal passages and a lower tolerance for pollutants like dust, pollen and mold spores.
Babies breathe more air per pound of body weight than adults do.
Babies breathe more air per pound of body weight than adults do. A newborn baby breathes faster than an adult, so they take in more air, and the chances of respiratory problems and allergies are higher.
The amount of air that can be inhaled by the lungs is called tidal volume. Tidal volume is measured in liters (1 liter = 0.26 gallons). Adults use about 6 liters per minute while breathing at rest, which equates to around 700 milliliters per breath (0.7 liter). However, newborns have a much smaller tidal volume and inhale less than half as much air per minute as adults do; they breathe at a rate of only 300-400 ml/min or up to 1 liter every 3 minutes!
All babies need more clean oxygen when they are first born to help them grow quickly after birth because their bodies are still developing rapidly during this time period before reaching full maturity later on down their lives when puberty comes along with its many changes occurring simultaneously throughout our bodies' systems."
Some household furnishings can be toxic to babies.
Paint, varnish and other toxic materials in furniture. These can be found in older pieces of furniture, even if they’re not original to the home.
Toxic chemicals in carpets, rugs and upholstery. Many are made from synthetic materials including formaldehyde which can cause irritation to skin and eyes, as well as respiratory problems for babies.
Pesticides and fertilisers used in the garden. When inhaled or swallowed by babies these can lead to vomiting, stomach cramps or diarrhoea (hence why you shouldn't let your baby play around where you've been weeding or planting).
Chemicals used to clean the home (especially those containing bleach). Bleach fumes are hazardous due to their high vapour pressure – this means they evaporate quickly into the air without being diluted by water vapour so it's important that babies don't spend too much time near them when using products like these (and there are many more ways that bleach could harm your child).
How to choose a baby room purifier
- Size: If you live in a small apartment or condo, it's best to choose an air purifier that's relatively small. A good rule of thumb is that the purifier should be able to fit in your baby's room.
- Type: There are three main types of air purifiers—HEPA, UV and ionic.
- HEPA air purifier work by removing 99% of airborne particles down to 0.3 microns (micrometers).
- UV light destroys germs by releasing photons which then destroy DNA in microorganisms like mold spores, viruses and bacteria.
- Ionic cleaning technology uses metal ions to neutralize odors from chemicals released from VOCs (volatile organic compounds) such as formaldehyde or other toxins emitted by household cleaners or carpets; these types of purifiers aren't recommended if you have pets because they're harmful if inhaled over time due to their ability to attract dust particles into the air where they collect on furniture surfaces after being disturbed onto them via pet paws moving across floors or people walking around after vacuuming etc..
Parents should make sure their baby can breathe clean air while they sleep or play.
Air purifier with hepa filter are a great solution for homes with infants and children. They help remove particles from the air, which helps keep your baby healthier. There are many ways to use HEPA filters in your home:

Place one in their room at night so they don't have to sleep with all those germs around them all day long! Make sure they're getting enough rest while they're snoozing away peacefully on these machines that make sure nothing bad touches their little noses (or else there'll be some serious crying).
