Air Filtration for Asthma Sufferers: What Works

Clean Air Matters for Asthma

For people with asthma, airborne triggers — dust mites, pollen, pet dander, mould spores and smoke — can bring on symptoms. Good filtration removes a large share of these from the air you breathe indoors.

Prioritise Higher-Grade Filtration

  • F7 filters capture a significant proportion of fine triggers and suit most homes
  • HEPA H13/H14 is the gold standard, capturing 99.97% or more of fine particles — ideal for bedrooms and living areas

A dedicated HEPA air purifier in the bedroom is one of the most effective steps an asthma sufferer can take.

Set It Up Right

  • Run filtration continuously in the rooms used most
  • Pair a pre-filter with HEPA to extend its life
  • Add a carbon stage if smoke or fumes are triggers
  • Replace filters on schedule — a clogged filter stops protecting you

Reduce Triggers at the Source Too

Filtration works best alongside regular cleaning, washing bedding in hot water and controlling humidity to limit dust mites and mould.
