Air Quality And Allergies: Controlling Your Home’s Interior

Allergy and asthma control relies on indoor and outdoor strategies, and experts say having better air quality in your home can help to reduce triggers, especially when fine particles from wildfire smoke may be lingering in your area.

According to researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, indoor allergies can be the result of dust, mold, animal or insect dander or the infiltration of outdoor allergens and microscopic particles

Many times, allergy symptoms can be alleviated by closing windows, removing indoor plants that produce pollen and regular cleaning. However, it’s also important to make sure fresh air circulates around your home if there are indoor triggers such as mold, dander and dust mites, so there’s a fine balance to achieve.
