Seasonal Airborne Allergies

If you suffer because of pollen that is produced by trees, grasses, or weeds, there is a good chance that you can struggle with symptoms year round.

Depending on the climate where you live, tree pollen can start as early as January, and weed pollen can last until the first frost in late November or early December.

There is nothing to be done about the pollen. That’s nature’s way of replenishing the earth. And moving from one location to another is not likely to help very much since the wind can take pollen hundreds of miles from its origin.

The best thing you can to do is pick your times to be outside during peak seasons, and make your indoor air a haven. Filtering your air indoors continually is the most proactive and non-invasive way to keep air quality high while the pollen is raging outdoors.

The best type of filter to eliminate particles like pollen is a HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filter. By definition it must be able to remove 99,997 out of every 10,000 airborne particulates that are .3 microns in size or larger. This includes pollens and there’s more good news.

This type of filter really doesn’t care about the source of the particulate, only the size. That means that more usual pollutants such as dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, pet dander, and bacteria and viruses can all be eliminated.

PurerAir.com offers a stand-alone allergy air purifier that has a medical grade HEPA as well as 3 other filter for particles. It contains a large and medium particle pre-filter. These keep the filter for microscopic size pollutants from filling up unnecessarily.

The canister of filters in the unit also contains carbon cloth which gives dual protection. Because it is made of carbon it can eliminate gases and odors which can also trigger allergies. And because this filter is woven like a cloth, it gives additional protection against airborne particulates.

Controlling Pollen Indoors

If you are allergic to seasonal pollen, you know that inevitably it will get into your indoor space.

There are some things you can do to keep the levels to a minimum in your home, and still feel like your home is a place where you can breathe clean air.

Parking indoors can make a huge difference. This keeps a lot of pollen from settling on the car, going into the car, and up your nose.

If you’ve been outside a lot during the day, you can use a mud room to remove clothes and shoes leaving them outside of the main living area. Then take a shower to wash the rest of the pollen from your skin and hair.

Even though you do these things, there will still be a considerable amount that comes in on other family members and pets. Pollen is tenacious stuff.

Filtering the air with a cleaner that is specifically designed to remove this allergen is one of the best ways that you can keep amounts low not only throughout peak seasons but all during the year.

Fall Midwest Allergy Relief

If it’s fall, you suffer from airborne allergies, and you live in the Midwestern United States chances are your body is reacting to weed pollen. And Ragweed is one of the most potent pollens known.

Unless you lock yourself in a glass bubble until after the first frost, it is next to impossible to avoid coming in contact with this allergen. However, you can control how much of it is in your indoor air.

Pollen is lightweight and can and does cling to hair, packages, pets that go in and out from your home, book bags, and grocery bags.

That leaves it free to go airborne in your home again and again with normal movements. This means your home is almost as irritating as the outdoors.

Even after all the research about allergies, most professionals agree that the best way to minimize allergies is to avoid the trigger. Filtering the indoor air continuously is a proactive yet non-invasive and effective way to keep pollen levels low indoors.

The best type of filter for removing airborne particles is the HEPA filter. This type of filter can remove 99,997 out of every 10,000 airborne particles as small as .3 microns from the air. And most pollens are quite a bit larger that even 1 micron.

PurerAir.com offers a HEPA allergy air purifier that is designed to remove weed pollen in the fall as well as tree pollen in the spring and grass pollens in the summer.

In addition to pollen this air cleaner can also remove other airborne irritants that can work in conjunction with seasonal pollens. These include but are not limited to dust, dust mites mold and mildew spores, pet dander, mold, and mildew spores.

Solutions for Controlling Pollen

Regardless of whether it’s tree, grass, or weed pollen, there are some common denominators for minimizing the effect that pollen has on you in your indoor space.

Know when the pollen that triggers your symptoms is most prevalent and avoid the outdoors during those hours.

If there is no way around being out in it, make sure that you remove your clothes and shoes, and shower before going about your daily routine at home.

Minimize the exchange of indoor air with outdoor air. Keep windows and doors closed as much as possible in both your home and your car.

Use air conditioning rather than fans. Fans will send any pollen that has settled out of the air airborne again making it available for you to inhale.

Even with these precautions it is almost impossible to keep all pollen outdoors. The best way to effectively eliminate the pollen that gets in on pets, packages, and through doors as you come and go is to filter the air.

An effective purifier for pollen should contain a series of filters designed to filter the biggest down to the smallest pollen and particulates from the air. A HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filter is a must to insure effectiveness.

By definition this type of filter must be able to remove 99.97% of all particles down to .3 microns in size. Particles that small are invisible to the eye, but if you’re allergic you know that you don’t have to see them to know they’re there.

The good news is that this type of filtration will also take out other pollutants that are common allergens in addition to the pollen. These particles include household dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, pet dander, bacteria and viruses.

Controlling Indoor Pollen Levels

Fall is a time when the pollen count climbs due to numerous weeds that start pollination about mid August. And even though it can continue until early November in many parts of the country, levels tend to peak around mid September.

If you suffer from allergies that are triggered by airborne pollen, it is impossible to avoid this allergen. And while you can’t control the count outdoors, you can certainly control it inside your home and office.

Because pollen is so light weight, it easily attaches to hair, clothing, and other articles that come inside with you. It can then go airborne and make itself available to be inhaled all over your home.

The only way to keep the count low enough to avoid allergy flare ups is to filter it from the air. An air cleaner with a high efficiency particle arresting (abbreviated as HEPA) filter is the most efficient type of filtration to handle the job.

Since its size ranges from 10 to 100 microns, a HEPA filter that by definition traps particulates that are .3 microns and larger can easily eliminate this allergen. This type of filter will also eliminate other household pollutants such as dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores and pet dander—all of which often work in concert with pollen to exacerbate allergies.

Pollen at the Party

A customer wrote the following account after attending a birthday party with her daughter.

I’m writing to let you know how pleased I continue to be with the Hay Fever Air Purifier we bought last year.

My daughter was invited to a birthday party in the park yesterday, and it was perfect temperature—not too hot or cold with a wonderful breeze. The only problem was the breeze was full of pollen, so much so that the air looked dusty.

I started to sneeze, and my daughter had a runny nose, but she managed to enjoy herself thoroughly. We were outside for 4 hours! I gave her a relaxing bath to help with congestion, and to get what must have been millions of pollen spores out of hair. She went to bed happy in her room (where the purifier runs continuously), had a great night, and woke up refreshed and ready to go again.

My husband is also allergic to pollen and he always dreaded springtime, but the one in our little girl's room made such a difference that we have the same purifier in our bedroom now too, and he hardly notices when spring arrives anymore!

I don't even want to think about allergy season without the Hay Fever Air Purifier, and thanks to you, we don't have to! Thanks Purer Air! Susan……Virginia

We at PurerAir.com thank you for taking the time to write us, Susan! If there are others of you who have a story to tell, contact us at customerservice@PurerAir.com, and we’ll publish your thoughts as well!
