Poor air quality is also an increasing problem in airplanes. The economy class in airplanes is not nearly as well ventilated as the first-class sections or the cockpit. In fact, the ventilation rate for cockpits is approximately ten times that of economy class.9 Ozone levels are also high in airplanes, often eight times higher than the recommended amount on many flights.10 Because a plane’s air is recirculated, harmful chemicals from synthetic materials in the seats and insulation remain in the air, and bacterial and viral infections are easily spread from person to person.

One inexpensive way to immediately improve the indoor air quality is to purchase indoor plants. Plants have a wonderful practical use, as well as creating an attractive environment. Plants actually take in carbon dioxide and many other dangerous gases and give off clean, pure oxygen. If you suspect that your place of work or your home has “sick-building syndrome,” surround yourself with plants. Spider plants, philodendrons, Boston ferns and English ivy are all easy-to-grow, hardy indoor plants. Best yet, they tend to be excellent natural air purifiers.11

Special Dangers at Work

If your asthma is worse when you’re at work but clears up on the weekends or when you’re on vacation, it’s possible that you suffer from occupational asthma.

Many different occupations can lead to asthma. Mechanics can develop asthma triggered by fuel, cleansers or paints. Artists may develop asthma triggered by their paints, paint thinners, polishes and acrylics. Since the onset of the AIDS epidemic, many physicians have become allergic to latex gloves.

The most obvious treatment for occupational asthma is to prevent exposure to the offending substance. You may need to wear protective gear while on the job. Try using a room-size hepa filter or a negative ion generator. The best solution is usually to change locations and stop breathing the toxic air altogether. Sometimes it’s possible to stay at the same job and change the environment, but many times, you may need to change occupations altogether in order to avoid constant exposure to the offending irritant.
