Abstract
Dust mite allergens are associated with fine particles that tend to have a wide range of aerodynamic behavior, having the property to settle down within 15 min of disturbance. Almost no mite allergen is found in the air of undisturbed rooms. Generally, the mite allergens are found in the dust that settled down in the carpets, beddings, and upholstered furniture; clothing also appears to be an important source of mite allergen exposure, particularly if the clothing is not washed very frequently. Allergy is one of the major factors associated with the cause and persistence of allergic rhinitis, eczema and asthma.
