Asthma triggers: the indoor list
Asthma is the most common chronic disease in children. Several common indoor triggers leave a trace the sensor can see; others don't.
Cardiovascular disease and PM₂.₅
PM₂.₅ kills more people through hearts than through lungs. The mechanism is systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and direct arterial effects.
Older adults and air quality
Cardiovascular sensitivity, frailty, medication interactions, and time indoors all shift with age, so indoor air becomes a bigger share of total exposure.
