Spring in the city: a rebirth of nature and/or a fresh wave of allergies.

In large cities spring comes suddenly and feels very special: yesterday there were snowdrifts in the street, and this morning there is sunshine and the smell of swelling tree buds in the air. The leaves seem to unfurl and the fresh, young grass seems to burst forth. Joy and joy! But it turns out that this grace is not for everyone. Inhabitants of megapolises are allergic to the disease of the XXI century together with spring! Scientists found out that due to the increased concentration of inhabitants and infrastructure elements per km2, the city is three times more prone to allergic reactions!

Note: in metropolitan areas and industrial cities, respiratory tract and mucous membranes are more injured by the action of chemicals, reagents, and all that is so saturated with air large settlements. As a result, it is easier for allergens to penetrate the body.

HOW TO DETERMINE AND WHO IS TO BLAME?

People suffering from pollen allergy have rather typical symptoms of this disease: stuffy nose, lacrimation, conjunctivitis. Allergy sufferers sneezing, itchy eyes, swollen eyelids. Some people experience symptoms similar to those of colds: severe fatigue, muscle aches, and even a fever. Pollen allergy is most dangerous when the lower respiratory tract is affected, when bronchial asthma starts or worsens.

So, what’s blooming in April?

• The birch begins blooming in March, but the pollen production peak is in April. Spores of this tree are the most common cause of pollen allergy in allergic people. The birch pollen emission is more intensive in the afternoon, i.e. in the afternoon. Those who suffer from allergic reactions, during these hours it is recommended to stay indoors and go outdoors only if absolutely necessary.

• Willow. The maximum content of willow pollen in the air is observed in April, although the flowering of the plant begins in March. The allergen is often more dangerous for city dwellers than for those from the countryside. The reason is that in the first case the plants are located within the city and the pollen is blown around by the wind between the houses and into the windows, while in the countryside the willows mostly grow in wetlands far from the houses.

• Oak Oak pollen is produced in the third decade of April, this is when the first allergic reaction to this plant component occurs. The maximum content of oak pollen in the air is observed in May.

• Alder The highest content of alder pollen in the air is observed in the middle of March, but it lasts until the second half of April. Favorable conditions for carrying alder pollen are lack of rain and cloudless skies. Alder allergy symptoms – conjunctivitis, rhinitis and very often a skin rash.

CAN’T CURE IT, CAN RELIEVE IT!

Protect yourself during periods of active blooms is difficult, but possible. The most effective way is to go somewhere where there is no allergen, where dangerous plants have already bloomed or are absent at all. Such an opportunity, unfortunately, not everyone has, and not always. In this case you should try to protect your body from the influence of the allergen.

It is better not to go outdoors during periods of active dusting, usually in the morning and evening hours. If you do have to go outdoors, try to minimize your exposure, avoid getting pollen on your mucous membranes.

Solution:

For personal health protection, LG developed a special mask, the PuriCare, a complete wearable air purifier. It is equipped with two H13 HEPA filters to block harmful bacteria from entering. Two DUAL fans adjust to the rhythm of a person’s breathing. The system will eliminate the problem of fogging of lenses when breathing in people who wear glasses and a mask at the same time.

A second-generation personal air purifier is convenient in every way. The soft, secure fit over the face minimizes air leakage around the nose and chin. Low weight 94 g is not stressful. And 8 hours without recharging is a good period. Besides the air purifier is exquisitely and stylishly designed, and there are two color variants to choose from.

During the period of active flowering it is recommended to do daily wet cleaning in the apartment. It is better not to involve an allergic person himself, but if he has to do such cleaning himself, it is worth using a disposable mask or – the achievements of engineering, the result of painstaking work on a clever and effective vacuum cleaner LG.

Solution:

All models in LG’s upgraded CordZero™A9K upright cordless vacuum cleaner collection feature a compressor system, so you can clean the bin hygienically, without creating dust clouds. The vacuum’s five-stage filtration system removes up to 99.97% of dust from 0.3 microns and keeps your home’s air clean with a HEPA filter. It not only keeps the whole family healthy, it also vacuums dirt more powerfully with its Smart Inverter Motor™, and helps with wet mopping with the Power Drive Mop™.

LGCordZeroA9T-ULTRA2 with the multifunction All-in-OneTower™ docking station is the flagship of the collection. Inside the dock, there is an automatic system for cleaning the vacuum cleaner. After setting the vacuum cleaner on the station, the container filling is sucked into the dust and garbage collection bag, and the UV LED lamp disinfects it, reducing the growth of bacteria. The air flow that sucks the dust canister filling passes through two filters. As a result, the air coming out of the docking station is cleaned of the finest dust particles. The All-in-OneTower™ docking station makes vacuuming not only hygienic, but also touch-less.
