Pollen allergic rhinitis is a common disease. Symptoms of allergic rhinitis occur in nose, but can spread to the eyes, ears, sinuses and lungs. The most common symptoms are itchy nose, runny nose and sneezing. Sensitive individuals report nasal congestion as the most common symptom, although some tend to refer to these sensations as runny nose or prolonged sneezing. In addition to nasal symptoms, inhalation of airborne allergens can cause symptoms of ocular conjunctivitis, such as itchy eyes, watery eyes etc. Individuals may also complain of ear symptoms. Chronic allergic rhinitis can lead to respiratory problems, such as snoring, open-mouth breathing, increased sinus pressure, and itching of the throat which may turn into involuntary persistent pressure on the upper palate. Individuals with allergic rhinitis should be aware that repeated exposure with the allergen leads to more severe reactions, longer lasting symptoms and long-term residual effects. For more information about symptoms and treatment, ask your doctor.

A huge set of aeroallergens—such as pollen from various plants and fungal spores—awaits us outdoors. Individuals sensitive to pollen may experience symptoms like nasal congestion, sneezing, and itchy eyes. There are several strategies to mitigate these impacts, depending on the measures taken in living spaces and personal lifestyle choices, including outdoor activity levels. To minimize unpleasant encounters with pollen, limiting outdoor activities during high pollen days can be effective. Another reliable method is to wear a protective mask, which helps filter out allergens and prevents them from entering the respiratory system.

There are several effective ways to protect your home from pollen. Typically, these protective measures are installed in vents or windows to ensure proper ventilation while minimizing the influx of allergens and enhancing indoor air quality during pollen season. For instance, vents equipped with pollen protection feature replaceable filters that capture airborne pollen while allowing fresh air to circulate throughout your home. You can also choose modern ventilation systems designed to filter out both pollen and outdoor dust. Additionally, consider installing windows with anti-allergic air vents. These vents use a specially designed anti-allergy screen certified by the European Centre for Allergy Research Foundation (ECARF), which effectively blocks pollen and helps safeguard your home from unwanted outdoor allergens. Screens certified by ECARF boast an impressive efficiency rate of up to 90% and can be easily mounted in your windows.
