Air Purifier’s Role In Preventing Asthma Attacks
Keith George
Environmental researchers have proved that the room air we
breathe in is more contaminated than the air outside. In fact
the air we breathe during our sleep, relaxation at home or
office is more polluted and it is this polluted air that makes
us fall sick easily.
The ultimate way to solve this problem is getting an air
purifier. Air purifiers are helpful to people suffering from
asthma and allergies due to pollen grains, mold spores, pet
dander, microorganism and bacteria.
Ultra violet air purifier destroys chemical and biological
contaminants like viruses, mold, allergens, cigarette smoke,
bacteria, diesel fumes, pet odors, construction dust and many
other airborne contaminants.
Asthma is a condition characterized by breathing difficulties
caused by narrowing of the airways (bronchioles and bronchi)
leading to the lungs.
Persons Affected:
It occurs in 3 to 5 percent of all people at some time in life.
It affects all age groups except newborn babies and affects both
the sexes equally.
Symptoms:
The main symptoms are breathlessness, wheezing cough usually
getting worse at night. In a severe attack, the breathing rate
increases sharply and pulse rises. The person is not in a
position to speak due to breathlessness. The skin may turn blue
due to lack of oxygen, known as cyanosis.
Causes:
The usual cause is bronchiole hypersensitivity to foreign
substances in the air. The foreign substance could be pollens,
air borne pollutants like vehicle emissions, animal fur, smoke,
smog, cigarette smoke, ozone, perfumes, hairspray etc,. There is
a worldwide increase in the number of asthma patients due to
increase in the smoke levels in the cities.
Treatment & Role of Air Purifiers:
The day to day treatment involves management to avoid the
trigger which triggers the asthma attack. A person spends most
of his time indoors and presence of purified clean air can help
a lot in preventing triggering of asthmatic reaction. A purifier
works by removing environmental triggers like airborne allergens
contaminants, smoke and smog.
A person cannot avoid exposure to polluted air but he can
certainly control the environment in his dwelling or work
place. Further an air purifier provides relief to the lungs of
an asthmatic person by providing clean air so that he can
breathe easily.
An air purifier works by cleaning the air indoors and prevent
triggers like smoke, smog, pollen, exhaust fumes etc reaching
inside the room.
Care should be taken to avoid air cleaners which produce ozone,
which rather than reducing asthma may trigger an asthma attack.
