Asthma

Asthma is characterized by inflammation of the air passages resulting in the temporary narrowing of the airways that transport air from the nose and mouth to the lungs.

Asthma symptoms can be caused by allergens or irritants that are inhaled into the lungs, resulting in inflamed, clogged, and constricted airways. This can be caused by pollen, dust, pet dander, chemicals, and much more.

Symptoms include difficulty breathing, wheezing, coughing, and tightness in the chest. In severe cases, asthma can even be deadly.

How an Air Purifier Can Help

• HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) Purifiers are proven to remove 99.97% of particles from the air that are 0.3 microns or larger.
• Will remove pollen, dust, pet dander, and most other particles that cause asthma symptoms.
• Minimizes the risk of asthma attacks in the home due to decreased exposure to harmful particles.
