sisäilmaallergeenin

Sisäilmaallergeeni refers to an allergen found in indoor air. These allergens are substances that can trigger an allergic reaction in susceptible individuals. Common sources of indoor allergens include dust mites, mold spores, pet dander (skin flakes from animals), and pollen that has entered the building.

Dust mites are microscopic creatures that thrive in warm, humid environments, often found in bedding, carpets, and upholstered furniture. Their waste products are a primary trigger for dust mite allergies. Mold can grow in damp areas of a building, such as bathrooms, kitchens, or basements, and releases spores into the air that can cause allergic reactions. Pet dander, consisting of tiny protein particles shed by animals with fur or feathers, is another frequent indoor allergen. Pollen, typically an outdoor allergen, can be tracked indoors on clothing or pets, or enter through open windows and doors.

Exposure to sisäilmaallergeenit can lead to symptoms such as sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes, coughing, wheezing, and skin rashes. In some cases, it can exacerbate asthma symptoms. Identifying and reducing exposure to these allergens is key to managing indoor air quality and preventing allergic reactions. This can involve regular cleaning, controlling humidity, using air purifiers, and taking measures to prevent pets from entering certain areas of the home.
