Help, spring’s coming? Every fifth Central European is allergic to Pollen. The most common allergies include hay fever, house dust allergy, respiratory diseases and asthma. Especially in spring and summer, those affected are hit particularly hard and not everyone is happy about the sea of flowers and blooming plants.
The concentration of pollen and flower dusts is also significantly higher indoors. The disease-causing dust is carried into the home with our clothes, shoes and hair. Windows that are opened for airing give the fine dust particles a clear path into the home or even into the office and workplace. Highly effective air purifiers with true HEPA filters can minimize the pollution.
Air purifiers provide filtered, fresh breathing air
Pollen and pollen are the most common allergy triggers. The body is protected against pathogenic foreign substances by a highly effective defence system, our immune system. The skin and our mucous membranes form an initial barrier against intruders in the area of the eyes and respiratory tract. In hay fever, this is exactly where the allergic reactions occur. If the foreign substances then continue to enter the bloodstream, the immune system releases messenger substances. In this way, an excessive amount of substances such as histamine is produced, which can then lead to inflammatory reactions. Air purifiers with special filters suck in the ambient air and clean it of fine dust, pollen and pollen. In this way, people with hay fever allergy can reduce allergenic dust, at least indoors, and relieve the symptoms of the disease.
