How Indoor Allergens Trigger Allergies and Asthma

And What You Can Do About It

EnviroBiotics

Did you know that more than 80% of children with asthma are sensitized to at least one indoor allergen? From dust mites to mold, our homes and indoor spaces are filled with invisible threats that can trigger allergies and worsen asthma symptoms. Research has consistently shown that exposure to these allergens—especially during early childhood—can significantly increase the risk of developing asthma later in life.

The Hidden Culprits: Common Indoor Allergens

The most common indoor allergens include:

  • Dust mites – Found in mattresses, carpets, and upholstery.

  • Pet dander – Even homes without pets can harbor these allergens due to transfer from clothes and surfaces.

  • Mold – Grows in damp environments like bathrooms and basements.

  • Cockroach droppings – A major trigger in urban homes.

  • Mouse allergens – Found in both residential and school environments.

While allergen exposure is a well-documented factor in asthma and allergy development, reducing these allergens remains a challenge. Many interventions, such as high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and pest control, have been tested—but not all have been consistently effective in reducing symptoms.

Why Conventional Air Purifiers Aren’t Enough

Most air purifiers focus solely on filtering airborne particles, but allergens don’t just float in the air. They settle on surfaces—on furniture, doorknobs, bedding, and even inside HVAC systems. This is where environmental probiotics come in.

A Game-Changer: How Probiotics Can Help

BetterAir’s environmental probiotics work differently from traditional air purifiers. Instead of merely filtering the air, these probiotics actively restore microbial balance by dispersing beneficial bacteria that break down allergens on surfaces, objects, and even within HVAC ducts.

Proven Benefits of Environmental Probiotics:

  • Reduce allergens on surfaces – Unlike air purifiers that only target airborne allergens, probiotics reach the areas where allergens settle.

  • Minimize mold growth – By outcompeting harmful microbes, probiotics help create a healthier indoor environment.

  • Support immune health – Exposure to beneficial bacteria can help regulate immune responses, potentially reducing allergy symptoms over time.

Take Control of Your Indoor Air Quality

Reducing allergen exposure requires a multi-layered approach. Regular cleaning, using allergen-proof bedding, and maintaining low indoor humidity can help. However, introducing beneficial probiotics into your environment is the next step in truly transforming indoor air quality.
