There will be another global pandemic. It might be a virus, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, or prion. It might spread via air, water, surfaces, insects, skin, or blood. It might come from an animal or be developed in a lab.

The 2024-2025 Flu Season has officially begun in North America. If you’ve been following our blog, you’re already familiar with flu season basics (and precautions such as ActivePure Technology). However, there are some interesting news tidbits (good, bad, and weird) this season.

Your kitchen is filthy. It doesn’t matter if you are a billionaire with a full-time cleaning staff or a holistic new-ager living in a cabin in the woods. Bacteria and fungi cover every surface in your kitchen (including you). Here are 6 surprising ‘micro’ facts to consider during your kitchen cleaning routine.

As summer fades into fall, the air begins to turn crisp and the leaves start to turn, which can only mean two things – it’s pumpkin spice season, and respiratory virus season is making its unwelcome annual return.

When it comes to air purification technologies, the decision doesn’t always have to be either/or. Most technologies are best in pairs.

In the 1970s, the United States successfully adopted a set of universal regulations for outdoor air quality. When it comes to indoor air quality (IAQ) standards, however, the federal government prefers to encourage rather than mandate. However, some experts are unsatisfied with this voluntary approach.

Since ActivePure began offering real-time air quality monitors to our customers, we’ve already seen how real-time air quality testing benefits building residents. But air quality monitoring benefits building owners too (whether those owners are towering companies or scrappy small businesses).

As housing costs continue to rise across the country, the dream of traditional home ownership – a single family house with a white picket fence – often feels out of reach. 62% of renters and 38% of homeowners agree that their area has become so unaffordable that it is barely livable.

Right after the COVID-19 pandemic, we predicted the government would continue to fund better indoor air quality. When it comes to pathogens, that prediction has yet to be fully realized. When it comes to wildfire smoke, however, the government appears to be loosening the purse strings.
