The Holiday Season and Indoor Air Quality Discussed in New Online Video

PHOENIX - Dec. 14, 2014 - PRLog -- Today, the IAQ Video Network and Cochrane & Associates announced the release of their latest educational video.  Their newest production discusses the holiday season and ways that people’s indoor air quality can be impacted during this time of year.

As homes and businesses are decorated to celebrate the season, some people may have an allergic reaction to substances introduced into the indoor environment.  One term that has been used in recent years is Christmas Tree Syndrome.  It has been used to describe some allergy sufferers’ reactions to the presence of an indoor Christmas tree or wreaths. A study published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology found that the introduction of a Christmas tree could dramatically increase airborne mold spores, a known allergen and asthma trigger, over time.

“Even the way holiday decorations are stored can mean the difference between a happy gathering of friends and family or people sneezing due to exposure to dusts, mold and other potential allergens and asthma triggers,” said Paul Cochrane, President of Cochrane and Associates, the company behind the IAQ Video Network. “We hope this new video helps to shed some light on things to consider so that everyone has a joyous holiday season free of respiratory issues.”

This educational video was sponsored by a number of organizations and leading industry professionals that work to protect the public’s health. Sponsors include: EMSL Analytical, LA Testing, Clark Seif Clark, Zimmetry Environmental, Indoor Environmental Consultants, Maine Indoor Air Quality Council and the 2015 Northeast IAQ & Energy Conference to name just a few.
