Air Purifiers

If your child has asthma and allergies, there are many things you can do around the home to keep symptoms to a minimum. During summer months, many children see a reduction in symptoms because the circulation of fresh air helps reduce the instance of irritants in the air. However, once school starts, all the efforts you made to keep your little one's sneezing and wheezing to a minimum seem to go out the window.

Possible classroom triggers include class pets, hairspray and perfume, chalk dust or even secondhand smoke on staff and students' clothing.

Be sure your child is prepared for the classroom by reminding him of allergy triggers.

Make sure your home is as trigger-free as possible. One way to ensure a hypoallergenic home is to use top-quality air purifiers like those available at FreshAirPro. Try an energy-efficient model like the BlueAir ECO10 Air Purifier. This special filtration system uses up to 95 percent less energy than others of its kind, yet it still has the ability to clear the air of 99.97 percent of all particles .3 microns in size or larger. Keep your home allergy-free with FreshAirPro.

Dust mites may be too small to see with the naked eye, but they make a big impact on the lives of allergy sufferers. In fact, new findings by researchers at the University of Melbourne suggest that dust mite sensitivity in toddlers is strongly linked with the development of asthma in childhood.

"Our study did not show [that] house dust mite[s] caused asthma, but it highlighted a strong correlation between sensitivity and more severe [wheezing] and asthma," explained Dr. Caroline Lodge, head of the study.

The results were significant. Seventy-five percent of the participants who tested positive for dust mite allergies as infants developed asthma by age 12, compared with only 36 percent who did not test positive for dust mites.

Air purifiers, like those available through FreshAirPro, can filter those irritating particles out of the air you breathe and keep your allergy and asthma symptoms under control. The IQAir HealthPro Plus is our best-selling air purifier, and with its HyperHEPA filtration system, it's easy to see why. While most purifiers can only capture particles .3 microns in size, the IQAir HealthPro Plus can filter ultra-fine particles as small as .003 microns in size, which is smaller than a virus.

Most people associate air pollution with smog and other outdoor pollutants, but household air pollution can be a major problem that triggers allergy and asthma symptoms. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, asthma has been a fast-growing problem in the last 20 years. As early as 1990, indoor air pollution was labeled a high-priority health risk by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencey (EPA).

As such, it's important to treat the air in your household and limit the amount of pollutants and allergens you and your family track into your home.

To reduce air pollution, you should be sure to keep the house ventilated and control sources of pollution. Our professional-grade air purifiers are extremely helpful in filtering pollutants and allergens out of the air you breathe.

The AllerAir AirMedic MCS is one of the most effective purifiers for those with multiple chemical sensitivity and allergies. It features a medical-grade HEPA filter to remove even the tiniest particles. This eco-friendly filter which uses no neoprene, styrofoam, caulking or glue will make you feel good about your health and your part in helping the environment.

Many people who suffer from hay fever may also be allergic to certain fruits, vegetables, nuts or spices. This condition is known as pollen-food allergy syndrome.

If you have a pollen allergy, you may notice that taking a bite out of an apple leaves your mouth itchy or tingly. Other common foods related to this type of allergy include hazelnuts, peaches, pears, raw potatoes, bananas and tomatoes - to name a few.

Symptoms can range from a slight annoyance to swelling of the throat or anaphylactic shock. The allergy occurs because proteins in the fruits and vegetables are similar to the proteins in their pollen. Many report symptoms only when these foods are consumed raw.

Those who suffer from cross-related allergies are often extremely discouraged from having to deal with the nasal and respiratory symptoms from pollen in addition to the food allergy. The good news is, you can reduce many of your airborne allergy symptoms, at least in your home.

Our professional-grade air purifiers can rid the air in your home of common allergens. One such product, AllerAir AirMedic+ Vocarb, is specifically designed to control allergens and other particles that exacerbate allergies and asthma. Its advanced, medical-grade HEPA filtration technology performs at a higher level than in purifiers that only use standard HEPA filters.

With fall quickly closing in, ragweed and pollen allergies are out of control. There are simple and natural ways to keep allergy symptoms at bay, however.

Keep your windows up while driving, as this can be one of the worst places to experience symptoms.

Don't use window fans to cool your room down if you suffer from allergies, as they can actually pull allergens like pollen into your room. To clean the air of existing allergens, consider purchasing an air filtration system. FreshAirPro sells the best brands in the clean air industry, such as IQAir.

The HealthPro Plus by IQAir is one of the best air purifiers available today. While most air purifiers can only remove particles larger than .3 microns, IQAir's HealthPro Plus features the HyperHEPA filtration system, which can actually filter particles as small as .003 microns in size.

Using a neti pot daily to irrigate sinuses is also usually very helpful to those suffering from nasal and sinus-related allergy symptoms.

Enjoy the weather this fall without the terrible allergies that usually keep you confined indoors.

About 40 million Americans suffer from indoor or outdoor allergies, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. Unfortunately for many allergy-sufferers, several insurance companies have stopped covering prescription allergy medications, according to the Carroll County Times.

Those who once relied on prescriptions to ease their symptoms are now turning to over-the-counter drugs, many of which are not effective in relieving their moderate to severe sore throats, congestion and itchy eyes.

Because of this, many brands that were once prescription-only only have begun to develop over-the-counter medications.

Allergy-sufferers will benefit from keeping the air in their homes free from irritants with air purifiers from Fresh Air Pro. The Airgle 750 is one of its most advanced models, and it had the highest Clean Air Delivery Rate out of 159 other leading purifiers. It can remove everything from dust, pollen and mold to tobacco smoke.

If your over-the-counter medication isn't doing the trick, use an air purifier to clear your home of the allergens that make you feel terrible.

Many parents dread sending their children back to school with allergies. It's as if everything they've worked so hard for at home goes right out the window when they step into the classroom. Allergies and asthma can be exacerbated by everyday things like chalk dust, and many old school buildings are filled with mold.

Making your home as allergy-free as possible is the first step to treating your child. Air purifiers, like the top-of-the-line purifiers sold at Fresh Air Pro, are extremely helpful for combating indoor allergies. The AllerAir 5000 Exec is an excellent choice to rid the air of pollutants, chemicals and allergens. Its medical-grade HEPA filter can remove 99.97 percent of airborne particles as small as .3 microns.

Talk to your child about the differences he might experience in symptoms between home and school. Be sure the school nurse has all of his medications and inhalers on hand, and tell your child how important it is that he keep his inhaler on him at all times.

Past studies have found that air pollution can actually cause DNA damage. This is bad news for those of us living in today's industrialized, polluted world. The good new is, air purifiers can actually help.

Toxic airborne particles contribute to a number of diseases, from asthma to heart disease. HEPA filters, however, can block these particulates and clean environmentally polluted air, making it safer for us to breathe.

In a 2004 study led by James Quinn, two sets of mice were tested, one that breathed polluted air and one that breathed HEPA-cleaned air, the Associated Press reports. Those who breathed the HEPA-filtered air had a 52 percent smaller chance of passing on genetic mutations to their offspring than those who breathed the outside air.

Fresh Air Pro carries the highest-quality air purifiers, including the top-of-the-line IQAir GC VOC. It's specifically designed to control Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and paticulate contaminants. Help protect yourself and your future children with an air purifier from Fresh Air Pro.

Suffering from asthma symptoms while living with a smoker can be brutal, and although it's best for smokers to avoid smoking in a house occupied by someone with asthma, new studies suggest that High-Efficiency Particulate Air, or HEPA, cleaners may significantly help asthma-sufferers living with smokers.

A recent study at Johns Hopkins Children's Center looked at the effects of HEPA air cleaners among 115 children from inner-city Baltimore. The study went on for six months and found that children who used the HEPA cleaners showed improvements in their asthma symptoms.

The benefit amounts to approximately 33 less days of symptoms a year, Arlene M. Butz, an asthma specialist at Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore, told Reuters Health. She also suggested that any person living in an apartment building with asthma, whether with a smoker or not, should consider an air purifier, as smoke elsewhere in the building can travel.

Fresh Air Pro carries only the best air purifying systems, such as the IQAir HealthPro Plus. This top-rated air purifier is ideal for those suffering with asthma or a wide range of allergens including pollen and dust.

This fall, allergies are likely to be worse than ever. If you once suffered from mild allergies, expect them to be moderate, and if you had moderate allergies, you're probably in for severe allergies this season - at least that's what scientists from Rutgers University are saying.

"Climate change appears to be associated with early pollen seasons that last longer, causing more people to suffer from pollen-induced allergies," explained lead researcher Dr. Leonard Bielory.

Since allergy seasons are getting increasingly longer and worse, now is the time to make sure the air in your house is clean and free of allergens. One way to ensure your home is as hypoallergenic as possible is by using a top-of-the-line air purifier like those available through Fresh Air Pro.

The IQAir GC MultiGas purifier not only relieves smoke, allergens, viruses and bacteria from the air in your home, it's also effective for those with chemical sensitivity. The whole family will be breathing clean, fresh air with IQAir GC MultiGas.
