INDOOR POLLUTANTS AND WINTER #21
Now that the Holidays and Winter are upon us people in the northern regions spend more time indoors. In North America, it has been estimated that adults spend 87% of their time in buildings, 6% in vehicles and 7% outdoors (1). Indoor time naturally goes up during the Winter and asthmatics who are sensitive to indoor irritants are therefore at a higher risk for attacks. The normal indoor trigger of animal dander, tobacco smoke, dust mites,etc are still with us in the Winter. We also have a few additional "triggers" that we use less in the warmer months. These include gas stoves, wood burning stoves and fireplaces and in some cases coal burning stoves. Though these seem like logical triggers, there is little by way of good statistical research data especially in adult asthmatics (2). Small population studies do exist but the data is conflicting. So what does this mean to you as an asthmatic? Each is an individual and will react or not react to various triggers. You are probably safest when avoiding or at least limiting your exposure if you can.
Wishing you and yours a Healthy and Prosperous New Year.
