The new window-mounted pollen screen certification standard is an important step to promote accessible options to people with asthma and allergies.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It is recommended that people with pollen allergies keep their windows closed during pollen season or at peak pollen times. However, pollen screens can be installed in window frames to help prevent pollen from entering the indoor environment from outdoors, enabling people with pollen allergies to open their windows and ventilate their indoor environment.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Over 100 million people in <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span> have an allergic disease \u2013 with 81 million people affected by allergic rhinitis caused by pollen allergy. It is prudent to have a certification standard that scientifically validates a pollen screen as being an effective filter,&#8221; said<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/drjohnmckeon\/?originalSubdomain=ie#:~:text=About,of%20Euros%20in%20grant%20awards.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Dr. <span class=\"xn-person\">John McKeon<\/span>, CEO of ASL<\/a>. &#8220;These products fall between a building material and an interior furnishing, and since the  <strong>Asthma &#038; Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong> Certification Program has certification standards in both categories, we are well-placed to bring together elements from both in this new standard.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The new window-mounted pollen screen certification standard involves a three-step testing process.<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>First, the screens are tested for their ability to block the passage of pollen. Testing involves three types of pollen \u2013 one tree pollen, one grass pollen, and one weed pollen \u2013 to capture the major groups of pollens. The screens must effectively block all three types of pollen to receive certification.<\/li>\n<li>Second, the removal of pollen from the screen by cleaning is tested. To ensure lasting performance of a pollen screen, it must be possible to remove captured pollen to maintain ventilation while retaining performance.<\/li>\n<li>Last, the chemical make-up of the product is assessed for the presence of allergenic chemicals and emissions of VOCs to make sure they are below certification levels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After undergoing and passing this strict testing process, manufacturers and retailers can now offer Certified  <strong>Asthma &#038; Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong> window-mounted pollen screens that provide an accessible and lower-cost option for people with pollen allergies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>About the  <strong>Asthma &#038; Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong> Certification Program <br class=\"dnr\" \/>The  <strong>Asthma &#038; Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong> Certification Program is a unique, ground-breaking collaboration between the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America and Allergy Standards Limited.
