Summary

Allergy symptoms are intimately related to indoor air quality. It is said that PM2.5 would cause asthma and bronchitis. A whole house air-conditioning system integrated with an electrical dust collector was developed for the countermeasure against allergy. This air-cleaning system could remove fine particles such as PM2.5. The purpose of this study is to make clear the relationship between symptoms of allergy and indoor air quality. The concentrations of fine-particles and airborne fungi, as well as the amounts of mite allergens were measured before and after moving in the house which installed an air-cleaning system. The results showed that the concentrations of fine-particles and airborne fungi were lower than that of the houses before occupying. The amounts of mite allergens were also lower. Most of the residences said that the symptoms of allergy were improved after moving in the houses with the countermeasure against allergy.
