“A” is for Air Filtration Systems

According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, 1 in every 4 Americans suffer from Asthma and/or allergies.  40 Million Americans have indoor/outdoor allergies.  With statistics like these, chances are someone in your household is affected by Asthma/allergies.  The most common known triggers for symptoms are pollen and pet dander.  Unfortunately it is nearly impossible to eliminate the triggers from your life.  You can; however, lower your exposure to them while at home with the use of an Air Filtration System.

The Asthma and Allergy Foundation has a webpage with information about Air Filtrations Systems.  Their page is filled with information about how systems work in direct relation to how they can help asthmatics and allergy sufferers.  Information about Air Filtration Systems from the AAFA

The EPA also has information about Air Filtration Systems.  This page has more technical information comparing different types of systems and their purposes.  It also explains how to measure the performance of a system.  Guide to Air Cleaners in the Home from the EPA

The best part of each of these websites is that neither promotes a specific system.  These sites have general information you can use as you to compare different systems to find the right fit for your home.
