Using an in-home HEPA purifier for one month spurs a small but significant improvement in brain function in adults age 40 and older. Exposure to particulate matter has been connected to respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses as well as neurological diseases…
🧠 A study in Scientific Reports found that using a HEPA air purifier for one month led to a small but significant improvement in brain function for adults aged 40 and older.
💨 Participants aged 40+ (about 42% of the 119-person study group) completed tests measuring mental flexibility and executive function 12% faster after using a HEPA purifier compared to a sham purifier.
🏡 The study involved participants in Somerville, Massachusetts, an area with high levels of traffic-related air pollution.
