Americans Spend 90 Percent of Time Indoors – Exposed To Indoor Allergens

NEW YORK, Sept. 19 /PRNewswire/ — STORY SUMMARY: This is a special report.

According to the August 2005 issue of Journal Of Allergy And Clinical Immunology, the number one indoor allergen is allergens from dust mites. On average, Americans now spend more than 90 percent of their time indoors. Researchers believe this may be part of the reason American’s awareness of indoor allergens has doubled.

Mike Tringale of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.

“Removing the source of allergens at home is the first step to better air quality, and keeping allergens out of the air in the first place also plays an important role. In fact, one example of an effective and creative tool is the Febreze Allergen Reducer fabric spray. Research confirms that it actually does reduce up to 75% of allergens from cats, dogs and dust mites that can become airborne from fabrics in the home.”

Febreze is joining forces with the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America to educate Americans on measures to improve their indoor forecast this fall.
