Abstract

A randomized placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effectiveness of the air cleaning technology with device IQAir HealthPro Series Model 250 (Switzerland) for comprehensive treatment of patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma was carried out. The significant reduction in the number of pollen grains in the air space and the clinical improvement was demonstrated, but no effect on lung function, blood and nasal mucus eosinophilia was revealed.
