Science Alert: Air Purifiers Could Boost Your Brain Function, Study Suggests

Effect of HEPA filtration air purifiers on cognitive function from a secondary outcome analysis of a pragmatic randomized crossover trial.

Participants 40 years or older with HEPA filtration completed Part B 12% significantly faster than participants who had sham filtration in the preceding month (54.0 versus 61.4 s, ratio of means = 0.88, p = 0.02). No significant reduction in completion time was observed for participants < 40 years old. Among older healthy adults, there was an improvement in cognition following one month of in-home HEPA filtration. Further research is needed on the short-term effects of air pollution among individuals with some level of cognitive impairment.
