Allergies are becoming more common every day.
Many millions of Spaniards suffer from them.
The most frequent has to do with pollen and 80% of these cases, with the pollination of grasses.
Itchy eyes, throat, breathing problems, asthma... In this spring season, when pollen and dust pollute the air, measures must be taken.
The car can be a haven, but it can also be a source of allergens.
Everything will depend on how we act.
If we take these simple tips into account, the vehicle will act as a shield and refuge from the threat that hangs over allergy sufferers.
During the most damaging waves of the Covid-19 pandemic, the demand for cleaning vehicles with ozone, through an
ionizer
, increased .
It is a machine that purifies the air and can be found at quite affordable prices for everyone.
The regeneration of the air inside the car, by recirculating, allows you to breathe better and guarantees health by
reducing harmful gases and bacteria
that can invade the cabins.
In any mechanical revision of the car, it is advisable to renew
the pollen filter
, because after a while it overflows with particles that affect us and end up sneaking into the passenger compartment.
This filter can also be cleaned, although it is more convenient to
replace it periodically and check it
.
There is a simple particulate filter type and a more effective
activated carbon
type .
When we travel in our car during the allergy season, we must do so with the
windows rolled up
to prevent the entry of dust particles and pollen into the interior of the vehicle.
Driving with the windows down can cause an allergy attack and we will endanger our driving.
In addition, it will not hurt to
change the door seals
if they are worn, since we will prevent the air from entering the interior and, therefore, the particles that cause us the dreaded allergy.
Cleanliness is key
.
It is lazy (or it is an expense if you hire a professional) to keep the upholstery and trim of the car perfectly clean.
But if we suffer from allergies, it is very convenient that we make this effort more frequently.
The microorganisms that accumulate
can be very harmful for those who suffer from respiratory problems and allergies to some of these bacteria attached to the seats or the ceiling.
Finishing with the guidelines that Oscaro offers us, there are
certain times of the day when we should avoid driving
, as long as possible.
Dusk and dawn
are the times of the day when there is usually more pollen in the environment, which can cause an
allergy attack while driving
.
If we cannot
avoid these rush hours
, we will take special care when lowering the windows so that the particles that cause allergies cannot enter the interior of the passenger compartment.
