According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, pollen (62 percent), asthma (42 percent) and mold allergies (37 percent) are the top three conditions affecting household health. Childhood asthma remains the leading cause of chronic disease-related school absenteeism, resulting in more than 10 million missed school days annually. Knauf’s Performance+ line is formaldehyde-free, low-dust and boasts low volatile organic compound levels, which significantly reduces the risk of asthma and allergy triggers in the indoor environment.
“The certification program established by Allergy Standards Limited, run in partnership with the patient advocacy partner AAFA, involves rigorous physical, particulate and chemical testing on products to ensure they minimize allergen exposure and limit pollutants in the indoor environment,” said Dr. John McKeon, CEO of ASL. “We are delighted that companies, such as Knauf, are driving innovation to ensure healthier indoor environments to attain the goal of healthy people living on a healthy planet.”
