Dust is just one of your potential problems for allergies. Can be affected by everything from materials used in the building (OSB, carpets, paints, etc) to the quality of the indoor air. Windows are a potential problem as different types allow varing amounts of air infiltration (leaks). Also the basic construction can allow many air leaks (use of fixtures that allow air infiltration, no house wrap, various 'holes' in the 'living envelope', etc. A good filtration system is a good idea but may not solve all your problems. Here is a web site of the Mayo Clinic that addresses many of these problems: http://www.mayoclinic.com/invoke.cfm?id=FL00012 |
