INDOOR AIR SCIENCE
Asthma and allergies

Steadily on the rise since the 1970s, asthma now ranks as the #1 chronic disease in the United States. Experts have recently linked the epidemic, as well as the rise in other respiratory allergies, to indoor air quality.

A lack of home ventilation systems in today's tightly built homes has led to increased exposure to many triggers that can trigger and exacerbate asthma and other allergies, such as hay fever (allergic rhinitis). The RecoupAerator® can help.

According to The Institute of Medicine, proper ventilation can reduce the problems that trigger asthma and other allergies by up to 80%. Although simple filtration may help, mechanical ventilation and the introduction of fresh air are key. With our RecoupAerator® Whole House Unit and RecoupAerator® Window Unit home air filtration systems, you get both filtration and ventilation. (We invite you to try a window unit for a month, risk free. You have nothing to lose but your allergies!)
