house dust Dust consists of fine particles of matter found in the atmosphere and come from various sources such as soil, dust lifted by weather and pollution.
Dust in homes, offices, and other human environments contains small amounts of plant pollen, human and animal hairs, textile fibers, paper fibers, minerals from outdoor soil, human skin cells, burnt meteorite particles, and many other materials found in the local environment.
Dust that settles in your indoor environment may contain allergens and the nature, type and contents of these allergens can vary depending upon the time and place. The assessment of allergens in a house dust sample is an essential step for allergen-avoidance and provides information essential for allergen-reducing measures, in addition to managing your indoor environment from a health and hygiene point of view.
Common effects of house dust can include:
- Allergies
- Itchy skin and eyes
- Asthma
- Coughing
- Runny nose
- Sinus Issues
- Eczema
- Bronchial infections
- Nasal congestion
