Quest's breatheWell takes aim at airborne allergens

Quest Products is introducing breatheWell, a nasal filter designed for people interested in protection against the smallest of airborne particles and pollutants. Officials at the Pleasant Prairie, Wis.-based company said that the product's distinct filtration material is electrostatically charged to better capture microscopic particles and protect people from droplets released during coughing and sneezing.

Officials said that in a study by LMS Technologies, breatheWell was proven as a unique barrier against airborne particles measuring as small as 3 microns. In fact, the study demonstrated a 90% effectiveness against particles measuring 10 microns and 60% effectiveness against particles measuring 2.5 microns, which is within the micron measurement range of the smallest sized bacteria, pollen and allergen. According to the results of the study, the nasal filters can block up to 99% of airborne particles and pollutants.

"In recent news reports, immunology and allergy specialists encourage people to do all they can to alleviate inflammation to the lungs caused by breathing in common allergens because it may leave them more susceptible to respiratory illnesses," said Jon Romanow, director of marketing at Quest Products. "We believe that our new product will be helpful to people seeking additional options to protect their overall health by blocking the inhalation of pollens, pollutants and bacteria that reach the lungs through the nose. These filters are ideal for protection during travel, when around pets or while working in dusty environments."
