An allergist revealed who enters the house through open windows in summer

During the hot summer days, the ghost of fresh air through the window for the most part is refreshing and life saving the heat. People with allergies are different because allergens are also inhaled with fresh air. President of the Association of Allergies and Asthma of Lithuania, Doctor of Allergy doc. Violeta Kvedarienė tells us what kind of material goes through the windows open in summer and how to ventilate the premises to feel good.

The life between air pollutants

The air humidity is very important for the sensation of human temperature. Ideally, if the relative humidity of the premises is 30-60%. Otherwise, if wet and in the cool room, there is an increased risk of icing, if too hot it is overheated. In addition, in damp and poorly ventilated rooms, it is advisable to multiply microorganisms and live in molds.

"Poorly ventilated areas accumulate not only unpleasant odors, but also increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the breath. Acetone, as well as house dust mites, if the environment has a level of disease, even viruses, "- says doc. V. Kvedarien.

Air pollutants in premises, according to a physician, can lead to various health disorders, which are characterized by the term "sick building syndrome". Most often, this phenomenon is noticeable in modern but poorly ventilated houses

How does one feel in a poorly ventilated room?

When we work or work in poorly ventilated rooms, we may notice symptoms of mucosal irritation. For example, irritated nose, stuffy nose, frequent nose discharge; mucus of the throat, when there is a sensation of mouth or throat; eyes – protects irritated, dry or watery eyes. The symptoms of the skin can also be affected – dryness, itching or irritation, sometimes rash. Minor symptoms are headache, drowsiness, irritability and poor concentration.

"If a person's symptoms disappear for a while without a visit and the symptoms of the ailments return to their normal state, they may be badociated with a specific pollution." The most common cause of sick building "is an insufficient or inefficient ventilation of premises," says V. Kvedarienė.

Professionals should check if there are no harmful and irritating products in your room. Also, the same no one at home should be convinced that it is not allergic, in which case the human will react more quickly to chemical stimuli and allergens.

microclimate, the airflow is necessary.If the weather does not move, the feeling of well-being decreases, so that a regular ventilation of the room helps to eliminate various pollutants, dust and microorganisms In the living space, the air should change at least 3 times per hour. Most of the time, we choose to mechanically air the premises by opening the window. It is true that according to a doctor, well, during the ventilation of the premises in summer, we can make ourselves a "service bear."

"In addition to the fresh air that goes out the window, we also breathe in the pollen.If a person is sensitive to them, sneeze and tear begins to get sick.Observe the pollen will allow the installation of various filters in the room, air ionisers, or even simply damped curtains hanging.Well, and if you want to enjoy the window, it is important to know when it is better to do it, "note Doc. V. Kvedarienė

According to the doctor, the highest concentration of pollen occurs early in the morning, so the premises should be ventilated in the second half of the day or after the rain.

How to ventilate home

Due to global warming and rising air in the spring, the "allergy season" begins not only earlier but ends later than usual. people with allergies should look for means It's effective to survive this unpleasant period. Raimundas Nedzveckis, sales department of Komfovent Vilnius, says that many microclimate problems and low quality address people through the use of modern technologies at home, such as a recuperative ventilation system. This solution is implemented in the apartment building "Birželio namai", in the new city of Vilnius.

"By installing such a system, the air from the outside is cleaned through filters, inhaling it without contaminants, dust, pollen, spores, particles or allergens." Air filters also protect the whole ventilation system against fouling.Another important aspect is that after the installation of the ventilation system, it is no longer necessary to open the windows, which also avoids unwanted noise, "says Nedzveckis, adding that the recuperative ventilation system can run cold during the summer .. more stringent requirements

When installing modern recuperative ventilation systems in houses, public experts hear a number of fears or myths that arise from the lack of information, for example, many are thinking about what a modern system generally needs for a retrieval system. In general, since it was not needed before, the natural traction trees were sufficient, and the houses were still ventilated by the opening of the windows. However, according to R. Nedzvecki, much stricter sealing requirements apply to modern dwellings, including category A "House of the month of June".

"According to the directive on energy efficiency of the European Union, since 2016, the energy performance of all new houses must comply with clbad A and from 2020. all new buildings should be almost zero energy (A ++ clbades). According to R. Nedzveckis, in order to comply with the requirements of the Directive, mechanical ventilation with recovery is recommended. "

Not a single homeowner fears that the ventilation system will be noisy or – it will be very expensive to maintain it." According to R. Nedzveckis, it all depends on how the system is installed. it is designed and installed properly, do not hear any noise, and less energy is consumed in the room for cooling and cooling.

If you stay at home, Do not stop tormenting sneezing and runny nose, tears do not mean that you are attacked by the virus.
