About Sarah

Sarah Kim is the Health & Science Writer at The Air Purifier Guide, covering the intersection of indoor air quality and human health. Her articles translate complex scientific research from sources like the EPA, WHO, and peer-reviewed journals into practical, actionable advice for homeowners concerned about the air they breathe.

With a Master's degree in Public Health from the University of Michigan, Sarah brings academic rigor to every health-related article. She specializes in topics including allergy management, asthma triggers, wildfire smoke protection, VOC exposure, mold prevention, and the specific air purification needs of vulnerable populations (children, elderly, and those with respiratory conditions).

Background & Expertise

• Education: Master of Public Health (MPH), University of Michigan School of Public Health
• Specialization: Indoor air quality science, respiratory health, environmental health hazards
• Research focus: PM2.5 exposure, VOC off-gassing, mold-related health effects, wildfire smoke infiltration
• Source expertise: Regularly references EPA, CDC, WHO, AAFA (Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America), and ASHRAE standards

Writing Philosophy

"Indoor air quality is a public health issue that most people don't think about until they're already affected. My job is to make the science accessible so people can protect their health proactively, not reactively."

Sarah's articles are built on a foundation of peer-reviewed research. Every health claim links to its source — whether it's an EPA technical report, a WHO air quality guideline, or a study published in a medical journal. She never makes medical claims and always includes appropriate disclaimers directing readers to consult healthcare professionals for specific conditions.
