Now, an Estonian startup has developed a wearable solution for those with allergies triggered by substances in the air. The team’s 300g device is worn around the neck.

The globally certified device, which has a battery life of nine hours, can be charged by USB. The HEPA filter, meanwhile, lasts for up to 200 hours.
