Time to Send Those Symptoms Packing
If you or someone you know suffers from asthma or allergies, you know how much these conditions can interfere with day-to-day life.
What many people don’t realize is the degree to which indoor air quality (IAQ) can trigger asthma and allergy symptoms. The good news is that, unlike outdoor air, indoor air quality is something you can control. This makes all the difference for people who are especially sensitive to pollen, dust, mold and other airborne allergens and pollutants. If you or someone you live with is frequently sneezing, coughing or experiencing a number of allergy and/or asthma-related symptoms, treating your air can provide immense relief. From ultraviolet lights to air purifiers and air filtration products, there are a number of treatment options available. It all depends on what’s in your air, which our Lancaster air quality specialists will be happy to help you determine.
IAQ Systems Target the Same Pollutants That Trigger Asthma & Allergies
Substances like pollen, pet dander and dust can trigger both allergy and asthma symptoms. Other things like exercise, strong emotional reactions and certain medications also can cause asthma attacks. But what’s important to know is that the same pollutants that trigger allergy symptoms are often the same ones that cause asthma symptoms. This is why treating your indoor air quality can make such a difference for those living with asthma, allergies or both.
Air purifiers, ultraviolet lights and air filtration products all target:
- Dust
- Dirt
- Pet dander
- Pollen
- Mold
- Bacteria
- Viruses
- Smoke fumes
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as formaldehyde and fumes from commonly used products like paints, pesticides, household cleaners, etc.
- …And more!
The difference is in how these systems work. An air purifier essentially scrubs your air clean of allergens and airborne pollutants. An ultraviolet light uses the power of UV light to kill harmful airborne particles before they can reach your living space. An air filtration product, such as a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, catches pathogens as they pass through the air. Think of it as a fishing net on a much, much smaller scale! We also offer humidifiers if the air in your home is excessively dry and causing symptoms, such as itchy throats, dry skin and chapped lips.
