I'm an asthma sufferer and for most of my life I have had to deal with my allergies to cats, dogs, dust mites and pollen triggering my asthma which sets off my wheezy chest and leaves me reaching for the ventoline inhaler once again. Saying that, I do have my asthma under control and it rarely effects my life in a serious way but last year I was staying in an apartment in New York and being from the Uk I wasn't used to the air con system that had been installed. I was intrigued to see what sort of corollary air conditioning would have on my asthma as I had used an air purifier whilst I slept when I was young and found that it had a mildly positive effect.
Air Purifiers
Heating And Cooling Services
Asthma is commonly triggered by inhalation of air particles that contain allergens such as pollen, dust mite droppings or pollution. An air purifier can help by removing contaminants and allergens from a contained environment by passing the air straight through a filter that collects them and stores them away. The majority of these allergens can be removed fairly surely from the air and the filter can also cut the estimate of fine pet hairs in the atmosphere. This helps ease asthma symptoms which in turn helps an asthmatic get a good nights sleep although it is surely not a one stop solution. A commonly cleaned environment with good air ventilation as well as reducing the estimate of carpeting will also help to cut symptoms.
Air Conditioning
Air conditioning can help asthmatics by maintaining a consistent indoor environment free from the pollen and pollution from outside. Air conditioning helps as if you live in an area with high levels of pollution, or if there are hot nights while the summer when pollen levels are high it allows you to keep windows and doors shut. Air conditioning lowers the humidity indoors which helps to control the estimate of mold spours in the atmosphere as well as the estimate of dust mites.
In my personal palpate I found that the air con surely helped when I was in New York especially as I was spending my days in the hussle and bussle of the busy streets. It was nice to be able to come home at the end of the day, turn on the air conditioning and cool off as well as getting a good nights sleep.
