IQAir Atem Car Air Purifier Review
Did you know that the air inside of a car can be up to 15 times more polluted than the air outside of a car? Many of us are aware of indoor air pollution in general, but we don’t often connect it with the quality of the air we’re breathing while we’re sitting inside our car’s cabins. We should be though.
Where does in-car air pollution come from? Emissions from the vehicles surrounding us find their way into our cars and the air we breathe. Those exhaust fumes are made up of various nasty things, including volatile organic compounds, dangerous gases like carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide, and particulate matter. It’s a combination that can cause a long list of problems from dizziness, nausea, and headaches to respiratory infections and heart attacks in susceptible people—and worse. As if that weren’t enough, our car interiors come with yet more toxic chemicals in the form of adhesives, sealants, and fire retardants. Makes you think twice about enjoying that new car smell.
IQAir, the most trusted brand in air quality, recently introduced its first car air purifier, the Atem Car. It features a HyperHEPA Plus filter that removes 99% of odors, gases, chemicals, and particles. It’s able to filter out the smallest airborne particles that exist, and since 90% of all airborne particles are this size, that’s an important feature. Those ultrafine particles are easily inhaled and then asborbed into your bloodstream where they spread throughout your body. The powerful IQAir Atem Car cleans the air of these contaminants up to 20 times per hour. Now it’s easy to enjoy clean air in your car just like you do in your home.
What you’ll find in the box:
- Air purifier
- Car mount
- Belt and buckle
- HyperHEPA Plus filter
- Silencer
- Car power adapter
- Back cover
- Quick Start Guide
- User Guide
Assembling the IQair only takes a few minutes, and illustrated instructions are included in the User Guide. You first use the belt and buckle to attach the car mount to your headrest, then plug in the adapter, and snap on the purifier. Quick and easy. If, for some reason, your car design doesn’t allow you to attach the air purifier to your headrest, they also provide instructions for mounting it on a seat cushion.
At the center of the purifier is a touch point. Apply pressure with two fingers here to adjust the fan speed. A built-in light will change in size to indicate the current air speed. IQAir also offers a free Atem app for added functionality. Through the app, you can turn the air purifier on and off, adjust the fan speed, activate a child lock, track filter life, and more. The app is completely optional, but I have to say that it’s very handy.
The filter is quiet when running, but it’s fairly large in size, so you won’t exactly forget it’s there. You will, however, become accustomed to it quickly, and it’s so worth it to have cleaner air for your family to breathe. Learn more about the Atem Car Air Purifier, visit IQAir.com. You can find it for purchase on the IQAir web site and on Amazon.
