How Your Dirty Car Makes Your Allergies Worse In San Diego

About a third of adults in the United States suffer from allergies. Is it possible that you’re one of them? The source of your allergy problems may be something you’d never suspect: your car. The pollen that floats in the air every spring is the most well-known source of airborne allergies. Environmental allergies, on the other hand, can manifest themselves in a variety of ways.

The dirty air that pollutes our car’s interior may be one of the culprits. Studies have shown a connection between dirty cars and dermatitis, eczema, conjunctivitis (allergic red eyes), asthma in children, and other respiratory problems. It is messy inside your car; you can easily measure this for yourself using an ultraviolet light pen or by taking off the windshield wiper blades and looking at them. But why does dirty air cause allergies? There are two reasons.

A dirty car acts like a pollution chamber because it traps pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, and other allergens within its interior, all of which trigger allergic reactions in susceptible people. In addition to trapping allergens in your car from the outside air, dirty interiors can also cause allergies by spreading existing allergens around within a car. The polluted air that comes into contact with dust and other allergens inside your vehicle essentially “re-aerosolized” them, so they are then more easily inhaled by you or those who share your cars.

The following tips will help you keep allergies at bay while driving your dirty car:

TIP 1: Use a high-quality HEPA filter in the passenger compartment of your vehicle to reduce the number of pollen and other allergens floating around. It’s best to use a washable filter system like the Granite Digital Air Filter, which removes 99% of all pollen, pet dander, mold spores, plus dust and other allergens from your car’s interior. Other systems may be somewhat cheaper, but they don’t come close to the Granite Digital Air Filter in terms of performance.

TIP 2: Try using a portable air purifier such as the Eaton Corporation Clean Effects with electrostatic technology that captures airborne allergens including pollen, plant dander, mold spores, and pet dander before it can enter the passenger cabin of your dirty car. This is probably unnecessary for ordinary dirty cars, but it will undoubtedly help reduce allergies in dirty cars where people suffer from severe allergies.

Allergens can be hidden even in a spotless car. Vacuum and clean the inside of your automobile regularly, and replace the filters to guarantee your vehicle isn’t the source of the problem.
