/ -- It is the World Allergy Week (7-13 April), an annual World Allergy Organization initiative to raise awareness of, and advocate for, better management and prevention of allergies and related diseases such as asthma. With 9 out of 10 people on the planet breathing polluted air, known to both cause and exacerbate allergies, this is an important initiative.

Dust, pet and pollen allergies are a growing global concern, costing the society millions of dollars every year in lost sick-days, medication and physician visits. Particularly, allergies among children are a rising worry. With the increasing level of air pollution year after year, people in India are increasingly concerned about the growing health diseases caused due to air pollution. Blueair in partnership with YouGov, an international Internet-based market research and data analytics firm, conducted a global study on Allergens. The study shows how people react to various allergens and indoor pollutants. As per the report, 71% of the Indians consider dust as a major pollutant that causes allergy, followed by bacteria, virus (63%) and smoke (56%). Apart from these, other forms of pollutants that Indians feel exist at homes and could be a major contributor to allergies are pollen (27%), pet hair/dander (33%), microplastic (28%) and chemical pollution (28%).
