Allergens and Dust
are a Problem
Where does dust come from?

Have you ever looked at a sunbeam shining through a window and observed the dust in the air? You might find this disturbing, but dust is a combination of dead skin cells, clothing fibers, paper fibers, pollen, and pet dander, just to name a few. Dust and pollen settle on surfaces, enter our nose and lungs, and can cause allergic reactions. One study suggests we breath in as much as two tablespoons of dust every day, and our body’s natural mucus filters attempt to remove it. But when our system is overwhelmed with allergens, we may experience hay fever symptoms. If the air filter in your furnace is not collecting the dust, then your body becomes the air filter. What can be done about it? We can try to eliminate the sources of the dust by closing the windows or keeping pets outside. But many of us prefer to occasionally open our windows and keep our pets indoors.
