How can I reduce the pollen in my home now that it’s hay fever season?
Lars Dunberger, technology development manager at Blueair, says…
‘As plants, trees, grasses and weeds release pollen, millions of people with hay fever start to sniffle and sneeze. Most people try to stay indoors as much as possible when the pollen count is high but these particles easily find their way into our homes, meaning pollen levels can actually be higher indoors than outside. While ventilating by opening a window is a great way to improve air quality, this will only result in bringing more pollen into the home which will become trapped in the enclosed space.
Pollen clings to your clothing, shoes, hair and even your pet so it’s important to remove these pollen particles from the air as quickly as possible. Fortunately, there are quite a few ways to minimise your allergy symptoms caused by pollen. As well as the tips from Allergy UK (right) an air purifier can also help. Choose one that’s been tested to quickly remove pollen from the air to help provide relief from pollen allergies and prevent exposure to allergens. Blueair’s range of Blue air purifiers have been proven to remove 99.99% of pollen from the air and can even remove other allergy triggers such as dust and pet dander.’
