Allergens

These air pollutants can be major factors for people as they deal with breathing issues. When you discuss allergies with people you will likely meet many people that have issues. Nearly 40 million people suffer from allergies. This danger level discussion really gets people thinking about how they can improve their indoor air.

For millions of Americans, “allergy season” never ends. Colder temperatures that eliminate the problems of grass and tree pollens also drive people indoors where they meet troublesome dust mites, animal dander, and mold spores. Most indoor environments actually trap airborne allergens where they can pose a risk to respiratory health.

Many people with allergic rhinitis also can be at risk of developing allergic asthma. Symptoms to watch for are a persistent cough or wheezing.

Asthma attacks and allergy symptoms are triggered by indoor air particulates (and outside particulates too). The outside air does migrate indoors through open doors, windows, and natural air intrusion. When these contaminants enter they combine with dust mites, pet dander, smoke, and the other 4 danger levels to create an unhealthy living environment.
