An estimated 17,000,000 Americans suffer from asthma and 35,000,000 from allergies due to airborne allergens like pollen from trees, grasses and weeds and spores from molds and fungi. If you are reading this article, you probably already know what triggers your condition and are looking for a way to control future outbreaks. Although an incredible amount of research has been done on allergies and asthma, the causes are still unclear. Current research seems to point to a combination of genetics and environmental factors, but why these conditions occur in the first place is still unknown. Aside from prescription and over-the-counter drugs, allergies and asthma attacks can be prevented by taking a few simple precautionary steps. Check the pollen and mold spore count in your area on a daily basis (there are many sites that track these counts) and try to stay indoors on days with high counts. If possible, set your air conditioner or home ventilation on "recirculate" so that outside air is kept out. Though closing your home to outdoor air may prevent allergy and asthma attacks, it introduces a new set of hazards associated with stale indoor air. For the allergy or asthma sufferer, a portable indoor air cleaner is an excellent option.
