If you are plagued by allergies and you've done all you can to reduce the allergens in your home, an air filter just might help you. Do you sniffle and sneeze and wheeze your way through the year? If you are plagued by allergies and/or asthma, you may be considering purchasing a home air filtration system.
For the allergy sufferer, there is truth to that adage linking April with cruelty. May isn't much kinder. I remember playing outside as a child and having sneezing fits of such force and duration that my body seemed possessed.
Before you buy an air purifier, try some simple, common-sense steps to reduce indoor air pollution. Begin by vacuuming often, banning smoking indoors, minimizing use of candles and wood fires, and using exhaust fans in kitchen, bath, and laundry areas. Test your home for radon gas, which can cause lung cancer (test kits cost about $15).
