Edmonton air trends

Here is how air quality has been changing in Edmonton!
Like most cities, spring time in Edmonton sees increased airborne particles resulting in higher rates of health related symptoms. In 2023, dangerous airborne particles were also higher due to wildfire smoke.

PM2.5

PM2.5 refers to tiny particles, smaller than dust, which impacts health. PM2.5 levels change day-to-day and year-over-year, increasing long and short team health risks. PM2.5 occurs both indoors and outside. 


PM2.5's small size allows them to enter the bloodstream once breathed in meaning that it can impact every body system.


The WHO says PM2.5 density in the air should not top 15 micrograms per cubic meter in any 24-hour period, or 5 mcg/m3 averaged across an entire year.


Over the last five years, the average PM2.5 level in Edmonton was 12.4mcg/m3.

The Central Nervous System

A recent study linked the impact of increased PM2.5, year-over-year with the first time hospitalizations for central nervous diseases. 

1µg/m³ increase year-over year

=

8% increase in Parkinson's

5µg/m³ increase year-over year

=

44% increase in Parkinson's

Deeper sleep

Studies show that:

every 10µg/m³ PM2.5

=

25 minutes of worse sleep each night
Therefore, in Amsterdam, the average person in 2024, has had 115 minutes (nearly two hours!) of worsened sleep because of particles in the air. 

PM2.5 & Health

In the last decade, Edmonton had two years where year-over-year PM2.5 levels impacted the central nervous system and sleep quality has been impacted every year. 


From 2022 to 2023, PM2.5 has increased by 11.6 mg/m3, inflaming the nervous system and costing the average person over 25 minutes of worse sleep each night. 

Healthy Environments with Ronald McDonald House

To combat this, Ronald McDonald House Charities Alberta has been working with ecologicca, removing toxins from the air to give their guests better sleep and healthier minds. 

Sonder Amsterdam offered guests up to 77 minutes 

of deeper sleep each night

Paris air trends

The average air quality trends of PM2.5 in Paris have been improving!
Like most cities, spring time in Paris sees increased airborne particles resulting in higher rates of health related symptoms.

From 2014-2024, the average PM2.5 level in Paris was 65mcg/m3.

Deeper sleep

Studies show that:

every 10µg/m³ PM2.5

=

25 minutes of worse sleep each night
Therefore, in Paris, the average person in 2024, has had 140 minutes (over two hours!) of worsened sleep because of particles in the air. 

PM2.5 & Health

In the last decade, Paris had five years where year-over-year PM2.5 levels impacted the central nervous system and sleep quality has been impacted every year. 


From 2023 to 2024, PM2.5 has increased by an average of 1.5mg/m3 year-over-year, inflaming the nervous system and costing the average person 140 minutes of deep sleep each night. 

Sonder, Health & the Environment

To combat this, Sonder has been working with ecologicca, removing toxins from the air to give their guests better sleep and healthier minds. 

Sonder Paris offered guests up to 109 minutes 

of deeper sleep each night 

in the last year.

Some Questions You 

Might Have


Getting Started


Are there any specific instructions I should follow while using the air purifier?

Nope, just press the ON button to turn it on, press again for power mode and again to turn it off. Simple as one touch of a button!

Can I adjust the settings of the air purifier, such as fan speed or mode?

There's no separate fan speeds, only 2 power modes. Press the ON button twice to activate power mode. 

Can the air purifier be used continuously or should it be turned off at certain times?

The Breeze can be use continuously and all night long. It will turn off by itself after running for 8 consecutive hours. 

Does the air purifier have a noise level that could disturb my sleep or relaxation?

Nope, the Breeze runs at a super quiet ~20dB, similar to a whisper. It certainly will not disturb your sleep and many of our clients have reported the noise it emits to be soothing, like a white noise machine. 


Features & Benefits


What types of filters is in the Breeze?

The Breeze has a 3 layer filtration system. There's a pre-filter, electrostatic and UV-light filter that generates hydroxyls which help clean the air and create new air simultaneously. 

What are hydroxyls?

Hydroxyls are molecules found naturally in nature. They're commonly referred to as "nature's detergent" for their pollutant neutralizing abilities. They work by binding to pollutants, then breaking them down and releasing oxygen molecules in the process – cleaning & creating new air. Fun fact: NASA uses hydroxyl technology in the International Space Station to provide astronauts with new air, super cool!

What kind of air pollutants does the purifier target and eliminate?

All sorts of pollutants. The Breeze is effective at removing 99.97% of both physical (ie. dust, pollen, smoke, particulate matter >0.1um) and chemical pollutants (ie. VOCs, formaldehyde, CO2, radon etc.) 

Can the air purifier help with allergies or respiratory conditions?

Yes, the Breeze can help reduce the presence of airborne allergens & irritants that can be triggering for respiratory conditions and allergy flare ups.

Are there any additional benefits or features of the air purifier that I should know about?

There's a ton of research on the benefits of breathing clean air for many health conditions. This is because breathing in pollutants for long periods of time causes chronic inflammation in the body. This basically makes your body feel like it's being attacked all the time launching an immune response – not great as it causes unnecessary stress on your body while weakening your immune health. That's why breathing in clean air can help alleviate and support your overall health for all your bodily systems. Benefits our clients have experienced include: better sleep, mental clarity, cognitive support, immune support, improvements in athletic performance and many more benefits. 

Can I get more information about the brand and model of the air purifier?
