The air that we breathe has a great impact on our lives. We can survive for days without food and water, but only a few minutes without air. The quality of the air that we breathe is also of essential importance for our well-being. The less allergens, microorganisms and chemical pollutants we breathe, the smaller the chance of becoming ill. Medical conditions arising from air pollution can also have nancial conse- quences. Healthcare costs and lost productivity in the work- place cost billions each year.
IQAir® offers the most advanced air cleaning solutions for in- door air pollution. The superior performance of the systems has led to the worldwide use of IQAir® in the most challenging indoor environments. For example, the systems are used to protect patients and staff against serious infections in critical hospital and healthcare settings and to remove toxic chemi- cals in high-tech laboratories. The advanced air cleaning technologies used by IQAir® are the result of an unparallelled 45 year track record in air puri cation.
Air pollution can affect our health in many ways with both short-term and long-term effects. Different groups of people are affected by air pollution in different ways. Some individuals are much more sensitive to pollutants than others. Young children, the elderly and individuals with health problems such as asthma, heart and lung disease often suffer more from the effects of air pollution. The extent to which an individual is harmed by airborne contaminants will depend on the person’s total exposure to particulates and chemical substances, i.e. the duration of exposure and the concentration of the pollutants.
IQAir® systems feature the most reliable and efficient air cleaning technologies against indoor pollutants.
The following table shows which IQAir® model is suitable for specific airborne pollutants. The darker the blue stripe, the better the ltration eficiency of the IQAir® system for the respective pollutant.
IQAir® has received more No. 1 product awards and reviews than any other air purifier brand, including:

Stiftung Warentest “Test Winner” in Test 9/98 (HealthPro 250)
In the independent test by Germany’s Consumer Test Foundation the IQAir® HealthPro 250 was the only device out of ten international air cleaners to receive the top mark “very good” for its removal e ciency for airborne particles.
“The IQAir HealthPro 250 model was “very good” at removing particles... That is so to say, after 15 minutes around 85% of all dirt particles of even 0.5 to 1.5 microns in size had already been removed. The [best of the other brands] only removed about half as many particles in comparable conditions. [One of the air cleaners] carries a seal of approval “suitable for allergy sufferers”. However, as the test revealed... the IQAir HealthPro 250 was even better. “
“Our advice: The best air cleaning effect for airborne particles was achieved by the IQAir HealthPro 250...”
Newsweek Magazine on IQAir: “We tested it [HealthPro 250] in a basement that had been collecting dust for 20 years, and after two days, that musty smell was gone.” The magazine commended the IQAir® as being “designed for even larger areas, like the single oor of a house”.
Cigar A cionado Magazine on IQAir: “We tested the [GC MultiGas] in less-than-laboratory, but smokier-than-average con- dition in the Cigar A cionado o ces, and found it performed admirably under the strain. The unit quickly cleared smoke out of a small o ce, and soon after the traces of cigar were unnoticeable”.
Wired Magazine on IQAir: “This Swiss-made model turns your house into a clean room. [The IQAir HealthPro 250] produced air that contained no particles 0.3 microns or larger. Good enough to be used by Hong Kong Hospitals during the SARS out- break .”
Extreme Makeover 2004 – 2011: For 5 seasons IQAir® has been selected to “create America’s cleanest homes” on ABC’s hit TV show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” . The cooperation started in 2004, when IQAir® was asked to install an “ex- treme” air cleaning system in the home of a little girl with a weakened immune system due to a heart transplant. Since then IQAir® was called upon in 11 major episodes whenever the cleanest and healthiest indoor air was of critical importance.
American Lung Association Partnership 2004 – 2011: For 8 years running IQAir® has been the American Lung Association’s exclusive educational partner of the air purifier industry. The partnership combines the Lung Association’s 100 year commitment to promoting lung health with IQAir’s almost 50 years of commitment to air cleaning excellence and to raise awareness on indoor air quality issues.
Each IQAir® model features a patented modular housing which allows the system to be equipped with the most effective ltration technologies for speci c air quality needs. Only the most efficient and reliable lter media are selected by IQAir® to guarantee powerful and reliable long-term performance even for the most demanding and critical applications.
The accredited test laboratory Interbasic Resources, Inc. purchased a number of room air cleaners on the open market and tested them for their ltration efficiency. Only the IQAir® HealthPro 250 was able to trap over 99% of virtually all types of pollution particles. Since the IQAir® Allergen 100 and HealthPro 150 models feature identical particle lters to the HealthPro 250, the same results can also be expected of these models. The below graphs are based on independent laboratory tests which determined the HyperHEPA® filter’s removal efficiency for various particle size ranges.
