A Healthy Air Nigeria Case Study on Air Purification in Neonatal & Maternity Spaces Using the Healthy Air Purifier

 Why Indoor Air Quality Matters in Pregnancy and After Birth

Pregnancy is a sacred and sensitive journey — a time when a woman’s body becomes both a shelter and a lifeline. One of the most overlooked yet critical elements in this journey is indoor air quality.

During pregnancy, a woman’s respiratory, immune, and cardiovascular systems are under increased demand. Exposure to polluted air during this time doesn’t just affect the mother — it influences the developing baby in powerful and often irreversible ways.

 Documented Health Implications of Poor Indoor Air During Pregnancy:

  • For Pregnant Women: Miscarriage, preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, preterm delivery
  • For the Developing Fetus: Prenatal exposure to air pollutants has been linked to low birth weight, premature birth, and neurodevelopmental delays. Certain pollutants can cross the placental barrier, directly affecting the developing brain and organ systems. Long-term studies associate in-utero exposure to indoor air toxins with higher risks of asthma, allergies, and behavioral disorders in childhood.
  • For Postpartum Mothers and Newborns: Infants inhale more air per kilogram of body weight than adults, making them exceptionally vulnerable to airborne toxins. Polluted air is a contributing factor in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), early childhood respiratory infections, allergies, and asthma onset. For postpartum mothers, poor air quality may exacerbate fatigue, inflammation, and mood imbalances, potentially complicating recovery and contributing to postpartum depression.

Newborns and infants, especially those in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs), are even more vulnerable. Their lungs are still developing, and any exposure to Particulate Matter (PM2.5), VOC fumes, or pathogens can have lasting, irreversible effects. Yet, many maternity and homes remain unaware of this silent hazard.

Critical Data from Lagos Island Maternity Hospital

In a live assessment conducted by Healthy Air Nigeria, the Healthy Air  purification unit was installed in the Neonatal Ward of Lagos Island Maternity Hospital — a critical care environment where clean air is not optional but essential.

Pre-Installation Air Quality Reading

Initial Air Quality Readings: PM2.5 conc.:

26 µg/m³ (over 5x the WHO safe limit)

% of air polluted: 86.7%   (WHO recommended safe PM2.5: 5 µg/m³)

Time of Installation: 9:48 AM

Post-Installation: HA purifier In Action

Time of second reading: 10:11 AM (23 minutes later)

PM2.5 concentration dropped to: 4 µg/m³

Pollution reduction rate: 84.6%

🗣️ Hospital Staff Testimony:

“It has helped to purify the air in confined spaces and eliminate all contaminants. I would recommend it to others when the opportunity comes.”
