Asthma symptoms are more severe as air pollution increases. For children, it is worse. The following describes some recent study on this subject. Based on this study, it is recommended that indoor air should be re-mediated with Austin Air Purifiers and the family of HealthMate Air Purifiers.

They concluded that increasing levels of indoor particulate matter pollution would increase the severity of asthma symptoms. Asthmatic children were monitored for 6 months to determine the impact of room particulate matter, comprised of an airborne mixture of solid[...]
