Scientifically Tested & Certified: Alen Air Purifiers Stand Alone To Meet the Highest Air Quality Standards
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Alen, a leading innovator in the air purification industry, today announced its air purifiers have earned multiple prestigious certifications that further validate its position of providing the 'best in class' features all air purifiers should have: a 99.9% removal of airborne allergens, maximum energy efficiency, and ultra quiet operation. Alen's air purifiers have earned certifications from Quiet Mark, the Asthma & Allergy Friendly® Certification Program, SleepScore Labs, and ENERGY STAR®, ensuring its trusted name among discerning consumers who demand high-performance air purification solutions. 'Not all air purifiers meet industry certification guidelines. Alen's air purifiers do,' said Alen CEO Warburg Lee. "Savvy consumers know us, and we're pleased that a new generation understands the importance of third-party validation to help make the best decision to ensure the well-being of their families, friends and customers.' Alen's top industry certifications include: Asthma & Allergy Friendly® Certification – Certified by Allergy Standards and the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. Alen's purifiers are independently tested against strict standards and proven to reduce airborne allergens, helping the more than 100 million people living in the U.S. affected by asthma and allergies annually to breathe clean air. "By removing 99.9% of airborne allergens—such as pollen, dust, and pet dander—Alen's purifiers help support a cleaner, healthier indoor environment." Quiet Mark Certification – Alen's air purifiers are engineered to deliver ultra-quiet operation, earning recognition from Quiet Mark for providing powerful purification without disruptive noise. Since loud air purifiers are often turned off, this certification ensures Alen's models help maintain clean air while supporting a peaceful environment. Quiet Mark is awarded to the top 10% to 20% of the quietest products in each category. ENERGY STAR® Certification – ENERGY STAR-certified room air purifiers use 25% less energy, on average, compared to standard models, leading to significant cost savings and reduced environmental impact. Most Alen purifiers operate using the equivalent energy of a lightbulb per day or less, with maximum wattages of 55W for the 75i, 50W for the 45i, and 40W for the 35i; however, because Alen owners rarely run their units continuously on the top fan speed, actual energy consumption can be significantly lower than these maximum values. SleepScore Validated – Scientifically validated to improve sleep quality, Alen air purifiers create cleaner indoor air for a healthier and more restful sleep environment. SleepScore Labs studies show study participants who used Alen air purifiers experienced improved sleep quality, including falling asleep faster and waking up less frequently during the night. Alen purifiers help mask disruptive sounds, promoting deeper, uninterrupted sleep and enhancing overall sleep quality by utilizing pink noise. Additionally, the TITAN Innovation Awards named Alen a Gold winner in the 2025 TITAN Innovation Awards, recognized in the Innovation in Technology and Consumer Technology category. The TITAN Innovation Awards received over 3,000 entries from more than 30 countries, reinforcing its reputation as a leading international competition for technology and design excellence.

Unknown EU region tempts tourists with beauty and very unusual dishes
Twelve years of vegetarianism, and it wasn't a late-night Big Mac or a fragrant rasher of bacon that broke me, but a frog and river eel stew. As a travel writer, it's important to fully immerse yourself in the local customs, to convey the smells, sights, sounds and tastes of the world with real feeling. That said, I had hoped that my charming companion and driver for the week, Alen, might've taken one for the team when it came to the wiggly, slithery dish that sat steaming in front of me at our riverside table in Vid, Croatia. "Apparently it tastes just like chicken," he tempted, untemptingly, as I lifted a recently sprightly frog up on a wooden spoon and looked into its forlorn face. In accordance with my flagged dietary requirements, vegetables had been provided, but more as a token side dish. Stewed frogs are cooked whole and then best tackled with one thumb pinning the body down while the flesh is scraped from their legs. Mercifully, the meat harvested is limited in quantity and does taste like chicken, albeit mixed in with a bit of river water. However, the eels are the real main event. Beautiful Game of Thrones city brought back from the brink of 'death by tourism' Earlier that morning, I watched a fisherman stand on the banks of the Neretva River and fish out one of the fizzy drink bottles bobbing along its surface. It was not the result of littering, as I'd first assumed, but an eel trap float. The fisherman hauled out his long contraption, and there in the shimmering netting was a slippery-looking critter. The enigmatic European eel's life ended in pieces that day, chopped into bits by a chef in the Djudja and Mate restaurant and put on the stove. Had it escaped the net, it may have had the chance to follow the ancient eel ritual of swimming out of the river, into the Mediterranean and to the place of its birth - the Sargasso Sea in the Atlantic. There, eels mate once, and then die, leaving their tiny, glassy offspring to drift on the ocean currents for two years before making it to freshwater in Europe, where they stay until it is their time to make a singular journey home. European eel numbers have plummeted in recent years and they are now listed as critically endangered, yet they remain a key part of cuisines across the Continent. The fisherman of Vid, which sits in the heart of the beautiful, little-visited Neretva Delta on the Dalmatian Coast, say their means of landing eels as long as one metre links them to the many generations who have done so before them. It is sustainable, they claim, such is the small numbers in which they are fished. Whether or not I believe them, or if the slightly muddy taste of the eel is enough to distinguish it from a carp or another kind of less threatened river dweller, remains a live question. What doesn't is the undisputable charm of this quiet corner of Croatia. Unlike the Games of Throne famous Dubrovnik further south, the capital Zagreb in the north or the festival islands off of Split, the Neretva Delta is at the beginning of its tourism journey. The Croatian Tourist Board is hoping more tourists will make the hour and a half road journey there after touching down in Dubrovnik, either for a day trip or overnight stays, to ease the burden on the ancient city and to discover the delights of this intriguing region. It is a place that makes you feel as if you've stepped back 20 years to a time when Croatia was a destination only frequented by those in the know. Glasses of cool beer set you back a couple of euros and are drank on plastic pub chairs while watching the lives of locals. A group of boys are mucking about with sticks by the river, close to where a group of men (presumably their dads) are enjoying a cigarette, basking in the sunshine. So long as you don't indulge in the cheap drink too much, it's easy to nip between villages along the river to enjoy the relaxed tourist attractions. For me that meant a guided tour around the Narona Archeology Museum, which houses some of the treasures unearthed in 1995 when archaeologists in Vid made the extraordinary discovery of an Augusteum, a temple dedicated to the cult of the Roman Emperors, built around 10 BC. As much as I did not expect 2,000-year-old statues to tower above me so magnificently in such a relaxed, understated town, the Etno House Ilic up the hill is, in a way, even more remarkable. The museum is the half-century work of an avid collector of household items from across the region and past three centuries, brought back to life through their placement in a traditional family cottage. Perhaps it was the stew talking, but the love and care clear in the presentation was quite moving. The true splendour of the place is felt up in the hills, but even more so down on the water, where several family firms are willing to take guests down the river on wide wooden boats that provide 360 degree views of the landscape and access to a central table. On here you will find a small pile of local delicacies including cheese, Dalmatian ham and, of course, rakija. Just 50 years ago large parts of the area was inaccessible swampland, but now careful management has turned it into a navigable, nature-rich wonderland where insects buzz and 300 species of birds live. It is a truly beautiful place.
