Intellipure Donates 70,000 Intellipure Compact Air Purifiers to Baby2B

Air Purifier Donation in Response to Los Angeles Fires, Donation Supports Children and Families in Need

Intellipure, a leader in innovative air purification solutions, today announced a donation of 70,000 Intellipure Compact air purifiers to Baby2Baby, a nonprofit organization that provides essential items to children living in poverty across the country. This donation is in direct response to the recent Los Angeles fires and the urgent need to protect vulnerable children from harmful air pollutants.

 

Since January 7, Baby2Baby has distributed over 9 million emergency supplies including diapers, food, formula, water, clothing, blankets and hygiene products, to children and families impacted by the devastation. "We saw the intense need following the devastating wildfires and felt compelled to answer the call," said Dan Phalen, HealthWay's Chief Executive Officer, parent company of Intellipure. "Our hope is that these Intellipure Compact air purifiers will provide clean, safe air for children, helping them stay well and return to their school routines. We are delivering the air purifiers over the next 30 days to ensure they reach those who need them most."

 

"We are incredibly grateful for Intellipure's extraordinary donation of 70,000 air purifiers which will significantly impact the lives of children and families affected by the Los Angeles fires,” said Baby2Baby Co-CEOs Norah Weinstein and Kelly Sawyer Patricof. “Air purifiers are consistently one of the most requested items from families we serve across Los Angeles and this generous donation will help Baby2Baby ensure tens of thousands of children have access to safe and clean air. Our team is deeply committed to helping our hometown rebuild and we will continue providing essentials to impacted families in the months and years ahead.”

 

The Intellipure Compact air purifiers utilize HealthWay’s proprietary Disinfecting Filter System (DFS) technology, capturing up to 99.99% of particles at .007 micron, including harmful viruses, mold, fungi, bacteria, and ultrafine particles. While the Los Angeles area wildfires are now out, the after effects will linger in the air for months. This donation will provide critical protection for the children served by Baby2Baby, ensuring they have access to clean and safe air during this traumatic time.

Cigarettes are showing up in fashion, celebrity imagery, nightlife culture, and social media feeds, alongside terms like cigfluencers, Gen Z smoking, and even vape fatigue.

Living and Breathing with Lyme Disease

Living and Breathing with Lyme Disease

When you were a kid and had never seen "Lyme disease" spelled out before, you might have assumed it had something to do with little green citrus fruits. (No? Just me?) 

Turns out, the disease is named for Lyme, Connecticut, where the first cluster of cases was documented back in 1977. Unfortunately, Lyme disease has spread far beyond Lyme's town limits: Today, it's been reported in almost every U.S. state, but the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Upper Midwest regions see the most cases. It also exists in Asia, Europe, and other parts of the world [1, 2][1, 2]

Plus, research suggests that indoor humidity could play a bigger role in your health than you might think. Experimental studies show that too much or too little humidity can create conditions that make it easier for germs and allergens to stick around [2][2].

Hurricane Season Starts Outside. The Air Prep Starts at Home.

Hurricane prep usually starts with the obvious: batteries, bottled water, flashlights, medications, and a plan for where to go if conditions turn dangerous. But hurricane season home preparation should also include the air inside your home.

I've lived in Florida my whole life, so hurricane prep feels almost like a seasonal ritual. Still, indoor air can be easy to overlook when there are shutters to hang and supplies to track down.

Outside In: How Your Yard Affects Your Indoor Air Quality

Counterintuitively, a big part of maintaining good indoor air quality (IAQ) is being more mindful of the air outside your home. That's because half of what's in the air outside can make its way inside [1][1].

From pollen and mold spores to pesticides and other lawn treatments, lots of different outdoor contaminants find their way into the air you breathe when you're chilling on the couch, eating lunch at the kitchen table, or even tucked under the covers in bed.
