Testimonials: Clean Indoor Air Alleviates Asthma & Allergy Symptoms
Poor air quality can worsen asthma and allergy symptoms.
The change in seasons can be difficult for millions of individuals who suffer from asthma and allergies. That means for approximately 1 in 13 Americans warmer weather can mean itchy, watery eyes and springtime breezes may inflict fits of sneezes.
May is National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month, a time to critically evaluate air quality and the impact it has on our health especially for those who struggle with debilitating chronic respiratory diseases. As the springtime air fills with asthma triggers – such as pollen, dust, smoke, and mold – breathing becomes more difficult, which can lead to irritating symptoms, asthma attacks, hospitalization, and even death. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that on average Americans spend 90% of our time indoors where pollutants can be 2 to 5 times higher than outdoors. During the COVID-19 era, this number may likely be higher than 90% and is coupled with an increased risk of airborne transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and emerging variants.
Commercial-grade, air “scrubbers” that utilize clean air technology such as HEPA filtration, ozone-free bipolar ionization, and UVC sterilization can help combat indoor air triggers. For example, ISO-Aire™ components capture and destroy 99.99% of harmful airborne contaminants and continuously fill an indoor space with purified air offering relief to occupants and safeguarding against aerosol germs.
Heidi Wilson, stylist at Family Salon, experienced relief from seasonal allergies after implementing an ISO-Aire HEPA air purifier.
Recent testimonials illustrate how ISO-Aire™ systems in schools and small businesses have helped improve the air quality, and in turn alleviated allergen symptoms for employees. For example, clean indoor air in a busy, main street hair salon has been a silver lining for one employee, particularly during allergen and asthma seasons. Heidi Wilson, a stylist at Family Salon in Cannon Falls, Minn., suffered from seasonal allergies for years, but has experienced relief ever since the owner installed ISO-Aire™ last spring.
“ISO-Aire has made the air so clean that I no longer have the severe congestion and sinus pressure,” Wilson explained. “And the sneezing has been cut to a minimum. I look forward to going to work knowing I’ll be mostly symptom-free from my allergies for at least 8-9 hours.” Read more about Heidi’s positive experience in this Q&A.
Toni Johnson from Legacy Christian Academy has observed an improvement in her asthma and allergy symptoms since the installation of ISO-Aire air purifiers.
Toni Johnson, who oversees the office operations at pre-K-12th grade Legacy Christian Academy in Andover, Minn., also manages asthma and allergies year-round. Since the campus underwent a major indoor air quality upgrade to include both ISO-Aire™ supplemental purification technologies paired with bolstered ionization, Toni noticed a positive difference with improved breathing and less congestion.
"Since ISO-Aire has been installed in our school, I have noticed the air seems lighter and fresh and I have also noticed relief from my asthma and allergies with less congestion and I no longer have watery eyes,” Toni explained. “I am a fan of this new system!" Thanks to Toni and her Legacy team for sharing their story in this short video.
