Testing helps determine whether indoor pollen concentrations are elevated relative to outdoor levels.

2. Dust Mites

Tiny microscopic creatures commonly found in household dust, especially in bedding, upholstery, and carpets.

Dust mite allergens are a frequent cause of indoor allergies and asthma.

3. Pet Dander

Skin flakes, saliva, and urine proteins from cats, dogs, and other furry pets.

Pet dander is a common indoor allergen that can trigger reactions in sensitive individuals.

4. Mold Spores

Particularly problematic in urban or densely populated environments, cockroach allergens trigger asthma and other allergic reactions.

Some particulates can irritate the respiratory system even if they are not direct allergens.

7. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

Gases emitted from paints, cleaning products, furniture, and building materials.

VOCs may cause irritation, headaches, or exacerbate allergy symptoms.
