The <strong>Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong> Certification Program aligns with this mission by ensuring that products meet rigorous scientific testing standards.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1166\" data-end=\"1553\">Sanaz Eftekhari emphasized that trust is at the core of AAFA\u2019s relationship with its community.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1166\" data-end=\"1553\">&#8220;One of the most important things we can do is make sure that people with asthma and allergies make informed decisions,\u201d she shared. Certified products, backed by scientific validation, offer consumers confidence that they are making choices that support better indoor air quality.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 data-start=\"1555\" data-end=\"1619\"><strong data-start=\"1558\" data-end=\"1617\">The Role of Certified Products in Medical Conversations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1621\" data-end=\"1996\">While the AAAAI conference traditionally focuses on medical treatments, the importance of environmental factors in asthma and allergy management cannot be overlooked.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1621\" data-end=\"1996\">\u201cWith conditions like asthma and allergies, it\u2019s hard to just focus on medication and treatment,\u201d Sanaz noted. \u201cThese conditions are so impacted by the air quality around us, the environment around us.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1998\" data-end=\"2352\">At the <strong>Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong> Certification Program booth, medical professionals and industry leaders saw firsthand how certified products contribute to healthier indoor spaces. Whether it\u2019s vacuum cleaners, air purifiers, or bedding, these products help reduce exposure to allergens and irritants, complementing traditional medical treatments.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2354\" data-end=\"2416\"><strong data-start=\"2357\" data-end=\"2414\">Looking to the Future: Expanding Awareness and Impact<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2418\" data-end=\"2705\">The demand for indoor air quality solutions continues to grow as awareness increases.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"2418\" data-end=\"2705\">\u201cUnfortunately, asthma and allergies are getting worse,\u201d Sanaz acknowledged. \u201cBut I\u2019m really excited about this partnership because we\u2019re seeing more awareness of air quality\u2019s impact on health.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"2707\" data-end=\"3018\">With this growing awareness, more companies are seeking certification, ensuring their products meet strict scientific standards. Additionally, the launch of the program\u2019s new certification mark makes it easier for consumers to identify trusted, scientifically tested products on store shelves.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3020\" data-end=\"3067\"><strong data-start=\"3023\" data-end=\"3065\">A Unified Approach to Healthier Living<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3069\" data-end=\"3407\">The conversation on certification between Leah McInerney and Sanaz Eftekhari at AAAAI 2025 reinforced the importance of a whole-home approach to asthma and allergy management. Certified products are not just an addition to medical treatments but a critical component of creating healthier indoor spaces for individuals managing these conditions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3409\" data-end=\"3645\">As more companies recognize the importance of science-backed product claims, the <strong>Asthma &amp;
