L’asthme et la respiration

Asthma and breathing

4 million French people suffer from breathing problems

In 2016, asthma affected nearly 4 million people in France and the number of cases was certainly underestimated, according to allergist Pierre Hordé interviewed on the occasion of World Asthma Day by the newspaper Le Monde. In question : genetic factors , certainly, but also environmental , (outside air) seasonal (pollens) and against all expectations, indoor air pollution generated by our daily activities.

Our breathing is directly linked to the quality of indoor air.


“We talk about it less but “Indoor pollution is much higher than outdoor pollution ,” Dr. Hordé explained to Le Monde. It originates from the many allergens present in our homes , such as animal hair, mold spores or dust mites . But that's not all. Gases and dust from our heating and cooking products pollute, just like home cleaning products (detergent, stripper, etc.), DIY products (glue, varnish) or even environmental tobacco . The same goes for the combustion of incense, scented candles and the use of air freshener sprays.

Others, smaller in size, penetrate deep into the respiratory tract , promoting the onset of immediate pathologies, notably asthma. In the longer term, these are cancers or chronic obstructive bronchopathologies (reduced airway) that can affect us.

Best practices for improving indoor air quality

For To keep your interior healthy , you will need to act simultaneously on the different sources of pollution . Mites tend to become embedded in textiles that you will therefore need to clean regularly (carpets, rugs, curtains, etc.). Your pet, which is a breeding ground for allergens, will be ordered not to settle in your bedding and your armchair. Damp and dark places promote the proliferation of mold spores; you will therefore have to monitor the humidity level and brightness of your interior.

Afterwards, Do not use air freshener sprays . They mask odors at the expense of air quality. As for incense, candles and room fragrances, it is best to air them immediately after using them. In general, moreover, the Ministry of Ecological and Inclusive Transition recommends renew the air in your home twice a day, as well as after each use of a cleaning or maintenance product .

Asthma disease causes breathing difficulties, wheezing and coughing, especially during sports. An asthma attack is characterized by contraction of the bronchial muscles, associated with the secretion of large quantities of mucus which significantly reduce the ability to breathe. All age groups are affected by asthma, but the World Health Organization specifies that it is the most common chronic disease in children.
