Breathe Betterfor Two
Clean air isn't just good for you—it's essential for your baby's health and development.
During pregnancy, your body uses ~20% more oxygen and you breathe more each minute — which also means more exposure to indoor air. airbeld™ helps you keep it clean.
The Invisible Risk
Why Indoor Air Quality Matters More During Pregnancy
More Oxygen Needed
Pregnancy raises oxygen use ≈20% and minute ventilation +30–50% — so air quality matters more.
Indoor Can Be 2–5× Higher
Some indoor pollutants commonly reach 2–5× outdoor levels.
We Spend ~90% Indoors
People spend about 90% of time indoors — exposure adds up.
Placental Transfer Can Occur
Soot-like black carbon particles inhaled by mom can cross the placenta and reach fetal organs.
Indoor vs Outdoor Pollutant Levels
Common household pollutants compared to outdoor air (µg/m³)
Representative values for common scenarios; actual levels vary by building, ventilation, and activities. Targets shown for health context.
WHO PM2.5 24-h guideline: 15 µg/m³; WHO HCHO 30-min guideline: 100 µg/m³.
Important to Know
Pregnancy increases your air exposure. Keep CO₂ under ~1000 ppm, PM2.5 below WHO guidance, and formaldehyde as low as possible, especially after renovations.
Indoor vs Outdoor Air
Drag to compare a cozy indoor scene (where pollutants can accumulate) with a breezy outdoor scene (where air dilutes naturally).
Indoor Air Quality
Cooking and cleaning can raise PM2.5, VOCs and formaldehyde; CO₂ builds up in closed rooms.
- •VOCs from furniture, paint, and cleaning products
- •CO₂ buildup from poor ventilation
- •PM2.5 from cooking, candles, and dust
Outdoor Air Quality
Outdoors benefits from dispersion; use it as a benchmark when ventilating.
- •Better natural ventilation and air circulation
- •Lower VOC concentrations
- •Pollutants diluted by larger air volume
Everyday Air Moments That Matter During Pregnancy
Real-life situations where air quality changes quickly — and how airbeld™ makes a difference
🌙 Sleeping Soundly
The night-time air you and your baby share
Your bedroom air can quietly fill with CO₂ as you sleep.
Reference: Sleep quality/comfort threshold for CO₂
When windows stay closed, CO₂ can rise above 1 000 ppm – causing fatigue and restless sleep. airbeld™ alerts you before that happens — a quick airing keeps oxygen levels healthy for you and your baby.
Pregnancy changes how you breathe — you inhale 20% more oxygen each day. Everyday actions like cooking or sleeping in a closed room can change air quality in minutes. With airbeld™, you see those changes immediately and know exactly what to do.
How Air Quality Changes with Seasons
Different seasons bring different air-quality challenges during pregnancy. (Verified with WHO 2021 AQ Guidelines + EPA Indoor Air Quality guidance + EEA reports.)
Winter
Main Risks:
- •Closed windows and sealed homes trap CO₂ and VOCs.
- •Heating systems and fireplaces emit combustion pollutants such as PM₂.₅ and CO.
- •Poor ventilation increases humidity and mold growth risk.
- •Temperature inversions can trap outdoor pollution near the ground.
Tip: Use airbeld™ to watch CO₂ and humidity levels. Ventilate briefly even in cold weather to refresh indoor air.
Spring
Main Risks:
- •Pollen infiltration through windows and doors increases allergic reactions.
- •Mold spores rise as humidity increases.
- •VOCs from new paints or spring-cleaning chemicals accumulate indoors.
- •Outdoor allergens and dust get carried inside.
Tip: Track pollen and indoor humidity to reduce allergy triggers. Choose fragrance-free or low-VOC cleaning products.
Summer
Main Risks:
- •Heat and sunlight drive ozone formation, irritating lungs.
- •Higher humidity encourages mold growth.
- •VOCs off-gas faster from furniture and plastics in warm temperatures.
- •Wildfire smoke (where applicable) elevates PM₂.₅.
Tip: Keep indoor temperature and humidity stable (≈40–50%). Close windows during wildfire or smog alerts; rely on filtered air.
Autumn
Main Risks:
- •Mold from damp leaves and gutters.
- •Dust released as heating systems restart.
- •Ragweed and other late-season allergens persist.
- •Variable ventilation as temperatures drop.
Tip: Before turning on heating, clean or replace filters and check airbeld™ readings to avoid hidden dust or CO₂ buildup.

How Air Pollutants Reach Your Baby
Understanding the pathway from air to placenta
Studies show inhaled particles can reach fetal organs, and higher PM2.5 during pregnancy is linked to low birth weight and preterm birth.
Health Impacts by Timeline
Short-Term
- •Headaches and fatigue
- •Nausea and dizziness
- •Difficulty sleeping, respiratory irritation
Medium-Term
- •Increased risk of gestational complications
- •Elevated blood pressure
- •Reduced oxygen delivery to baby
Long-Term
- •Low birth weight and premature birth
- •Developmental challenges
- •Increased risk of respiratory conditions in childhood

Maria K.
32 years old • Athens, Greece
“I was really worried for my baby’s health and mine! airbeld™ showed me what the problem was and how to fix it”
Her Story
Maria is 32 years old and 6 months pregnant, working from home. She noticed afternoon headaches and fatigue but didn't know why. After getting airbeld™, she discovered her home office had high CO₂ levels from poor ventilation. With simple changes—opening a window during work hours and adjusting her schedule—her symptoms disappeared and her energy returned.
