Austin Air — Clinical Trials and Results
Results from clinical trials show the effectiveness of Austin Air air purifiers in homes.
American Academy of Pediatrics Clinical Trial
The American Academy of Pediatrics did a study to measure how an Austin Air Purifier could help to reduce children’s asthma symptoms and minimize visits to the ER. The air purifiers were run in the bedroom at night and in the main family room during the day.
Over a twelve-month period, the children’s asthma improved and the number of visits to the emergency room was reduced dramatically.

Johns Hopkins Clinical Trial — Nitrogen Dioxide
This trial at Johns Hopkins measured how effectively Austin Air air purifiers could reduce levels of indoor Nitrogen Dioxide. Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) is a gas often present in homes where there are gas stoves. It is particularly dangerous for people with COPD, as it can cause coughing, wheezing and chest tightness.
Participants were given two Austin Air Purifiers, to be used in the kitchen and the bedroom. Results were impressive, NO2 levels dropped and air quality improved significantly.

Johns Hopkins Clinical Trial - Living with a Smoker
The 2nd trial at Johns Hopkins was done to measure how using an Austin Air Purifier could improve indoor air quality for pregnant women or women with very young children, living with a smoker.
Two Austin Air Purifiers were installed in each home and it was clinically proven that Austin Air air purifiers are extremely effective at removing PM2.5.
After the study was finished, 98% of the women said they would recommend an Austin Air Purifier to friends and family looking to improve indoor air quality.

University of Washington Trial
The University of Washington trial was to measure how using an Austin Air Purifier could help to improve air quality for children with asthma who lived in the Yakima Valley (Washington State). The area is known for a range of intensive agricultural activities, that have a major impact on pollution levels.
Austin Air Purifiers were placed in both the living area and the child’s bedroom, and pollution levels were then closely monitored.
The results were significant with pollution levels in the living area reduced by 48% and in the children’s bedrooms reduced by an incredible 65%.

Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering Trial
The Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering in Boston teamed up with Austin Air to improve air quality for residents living near to the airport in East Boston. The team investigated how using an Austin Air HealthMate could help to improve indoor air quality and subsequently lower a person’s blood pressure.
The trial included 77 people who had no underlying health concerns. The participants were split into 2 groups. Over a number of weeks both groups were exposed to varying levels of pollution indoors. One group spent time in a room with an Austin Air HealthMate running, and one group spent time in a room with no air filtration.
The research team kept a close eye on air quality levels and the participants blood pressure, for the duration of the study. On both counts they noticed a real difference when using our units. Blood pressure remained low and there was a 10-fold decrease in pollution levels in the rooms where an Austin Air unit was running.
