Environmental Control Products
The average American spends approximately 90% of their time indoors, so if you are like most of us, your home’s air quality is very important. The best way to find relief from your allergies is to protect yourself from the triggers that make your allergies flare up. Environmental control products can help monitor your environment and keep it healthy while you live, work, and sleep.
Common contaminants found in our homes include:
- Dust mites
- Animal dander
- Mold spores
- Pollen
The most common symptoms are: nasal congestion; runny nose and sneezing; “sinus” symptoms; itchy, watery, red eyes; ear congestion; cough; wheezing; chest tightness; and eczema. Many people endure these symptoms, not knowing that they are allergy-related, and that prevention is readily available.
