Replacing an old mattress and increasing the ventilation in a room can significantly reduce dust mites in a bedroom, according to a study of 3,500 homes in Europe
The European Community Respiratory Health Survey II took samples from mattress in 22 different study centers throughout Europe.
In a news release, Replacing an Old Mattress and Adding More Ventilation Reduces Bedroom Dust Mites, Dr. Jan-Paul Zock reported that the risk factors for higher levels of dust mites included an older mattress, a lower floor level of the bedroom, limited ventilation of bedroom and for one of the dust mites sampled, the level of dampness in the bedroom.
