METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ELIMINATION OF HOUSE DUST MITE

摘要

Unless measures are taken, textile furnishings of bedrooms are infested with dust mites and their allergens, which cause asthma sufferers considerable distress. In order to relief this asthma sufferer, an environment, specifically a bedroom (18) in a building, has its atmosphere controlled. This is achieved by controlling the humidity to a level not exceeding 55 % at which the mites cannot exist and/or by treating textile furnishings to kill the mites and their allergens, and/or by changing the air by introducing fresh air at a high level in the room (18) and removing stale air from a low level in the room (18).
