If your patients suffer from asthma or allergies, indoor air quality is a key factor in managing their health.
The Family Air Care® Indoor Allergens & Mold Test Kit is designed to provide information about levels of specific allergens present in the home. It compares results to average levels in U.S. homes and levels associated with allergy symptoms in some individuals for possible corrective action.
Importance
- The 2007 NHLBI Asthma Guidelines stress "Control of environmental factors and comorbid conditions that affect asthma (Component 3)", involving irritants or inhaled allergens.
- For allergy sufferers, genetics aside, the amount of allergen exposure in large part determines the severity of symptoms.
- Therefore, an important aspect of treating allergies and asthma is to identify then reduce or eliminate the allergen from your environment.
