The importance of indoor air quality for people with allergies and how to improve it

Did you know that indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air? For people with allergies, this reality can turn their home into a constant source of discomfort. Dust, pollen, mould, pet dander and other allergens easily accumulate in enclosed spaces, aggravating respiratory and skin symptoms.

Fortunately, there are practical solutions for improving indoor air quality and restoring a healthy, soothing environment.

Why Clean Air Is Essential for Sensitive Individuals

Allergens in the air can cause a variety of symptoms: sneezing, nasal congestion, itching, red eyes, coughing and even asthma attacks. Poor air quality can also affect sleep, concentration and overall well-being. The effects can be even more pronounced in children, the elderly, and people with chronic respiratory conditions. In addition, prolonged exposure to poor air quality can weaken the immune system and aggravate allergic reactions over time.

For people susceptible to allergies, it is therefore essential to take measures to purify the air in their homes and create a healthier living environment. These efforts not only help reduce daily discomfort but also contribute to long-term respiratory health and overall well-being.

Best Practices to Implement

Here are a few simple and effective ways to purify indoor air:

• Air out regularly: opening windows for a few minutes each day helps to renew the air, especially after cooking or cleaning.
• Avoid thick carpets and heavy curtains: these items trap dust and allergens.
• Vacuum with a HEPA filter: this type of filter captures fine particles that trigger allergies.
• Control humidity: excessive humidity promotes the growth of mould, while air that is too dry can irritate the respiratory tract.
• Clean ventilation ducts regularly: dust or mould build-up in ventilation systems can affect air quality.

Confort Expert Solutions for Cleaner Air

Confort Expert offers several products designed to improve indoor air quality, which is particularly useful for people with allergies:

Humidifier

A humidifier helps maintain optimal humidity levels (between 30% and 50%), reducing nasal irritation and dry skin. It is particularly useful in winter, when heating dries out the ambient air.

Air Purifier

Air purifiers remove fine particles, allergens, odours and even certain viruses. They are ideal for bedrooms or rooms where you spend a lot of time.

Air Exchanger

An air exchanger renews indoor air by removing stale air and introducing fresh air, while filtering out pollutants. It is a sustainable solution for keeping a home well ventilated and healthy.

Air Filters

Air filters are essential for capturing allergens in ventilation and heating systems. Proper filter maintenance helps maintain optimal air quality.
