What role does air quality play for health?
How does air quality affect allergies?
Poor air quality and pollution can have noticeable effects on health and performance. Thus, bad air affects productivity and concentration, and can lead to physical complaints. For allergy sufferers and people with chronic respiratory problems, poor air quality can also mean that symptoms worsen significantly.
How exactly does air quality affect allergies? Air constantly surrounds us. The air we breathe allows allergens to enter the human body through the skin and respiratory tract. These can especially trigger the following allergic reactions:
1. Skin & Mucous Membranes
Insufficient moisture erodes the natural protective layer and dries out skin and mucous membranes. Eczema can form on the skin. The mucous membranes are attacked by pollutants and allergens, and allergies can be triggered or even worsened. The affected mucous membrane is also stimulated by pollutants and allergens, which can promote or even trigger allergies.
2. Lungs & Respiratory Tract
Many allergens enter the respiratory tract as fine dust and cause allergic reactions. Various air pollutants (such as nitrogen dioxide or ozone) can exacerbate the symptoms of bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis.
3. Psyche & Concentration Ability
Poor indoor air quality reduces concentration and increases the error rate. Stress levels rise and physically promote sensitivity to allergic reactions.
On average, a person spends 4.1 years of their lifetime in a car. Employees drive for about 90 minutes each day. Always ensure high air quality – especially in your car.
