Indoor Allergens Cause Allergic Reactions in Buildings across Puerto Rico

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - June 23, 2014 - PRLog -- For many people who suffer from allergies in Puerto Rico, a check of the allergy forecast on television or the internet is a frequent activity. While there are many common allergens that can be found in the natural outdoor environment, there are also many allergens that may be present indoors that can be resolved.

It is not uncommon for some people to be allergic to more than one indoor allergen and repeated or long term exposure to any of them may worsen the condition.  Although people can develop allergies to many substances, some of the more common indoor allergens include:

·         Mold

·         Bacteria

·         Pet Dander

·         Insects

·         Rodents

·         Dust Mites

·         Plants & Pollen

·         Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

·         Latex

“People who suffer from allergies often look towards medical treatment that can alleviate their symptoms without considering what may be causing the condition in the first place,” said Harry Pena, President of Zimmetry Environmental.  “Although outdoor allergens are a common issue for many allergy sufferers, so too are indoor allergens. By identifying indoor allergens, people who suffer from allergic reactions can take proactive measures to dramatically reduce their exposure by removing the source.”

The IAQ professionals at Zimmetry Environmental have the tools and experience to quickly identify indoor allergens and other indoor air quality (IAQ) issues.  They also provide the information and resources needed to resolve any issues found.  To help educate Puerto Ricans about indoor allergens, Zimmetry recently sponsored an educational video that can be seen at: http://youtu.be/RezGD8hJGIg
