This study aims to establish whether air filtration units used in homes with pets cause a dramatic fall in airborne pet allergen levels, and if so, what effect this has on human and animal health.
Abstract
Background Domestic air filtration units have previously been shown to cause a dramatic fall in airborne pet allergen levels in homes with pets. Clinical trials of air filtration units, however, have failed to reveal a significant beneficial effect. Personal pet allergen exposure during air filtration unit use has never been measured.
