摘要: Allergic disease affects millions of persons in the United States. Environmental control measures are essential for who sensitive to dust mite and cat allergens may be important cockroaches fungus. The bedroom is most room which implement environmental measures, such as encasing mattresses pillows vinyl or semipermeable covers. Patients with asthma (especially persistent asthma) should considered allergy testing more aggressive measures. Carpet over concrete removed. For pet allergens, permanent removal recommended. Dust fungus growth can controlled by keeping household humidity level at less than 50 percent. Removing sources food water using insecticides will help cockroach populations. mold outdoor air pollution consider limiting activities when these levels high. avoid exposure tobacco smoke.
