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.
