Questions and Answers

    In order to reduce pollen exposure indoors during the spring, what is the best way to reduce exposure?

    • A.

      Keep windows and doors closed

    • B.

      Use air conditioning

    • C.

      Avoid drawing air into the room through the use of window fans

    • D.

      Don’t go outside

    Correct Answer
    B. Use air conditioning
    Explanation
    Using air conditioning is the best way to reduce pollen exposure indoors during the spring. Air conditioning helps to filter and circulate the air inside the room, reducing the amount of pollen that enters. Keeping windows and doors closed also helps to prevent pollen from entering the space. Avoiding drawing air into the room through window fans is another effective measure, as it can bring in pollen from outside. Not going outside is not a practical solution as it does not address the issue of pollen exposure indoors.

    Levels of humidity should be below____ percent indoors. 

    • A.

      30

    • B.

      70

    • C.

      50

    • D.

      60

    Correct Answer
    C. 50
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 50. Indoor humidity levels should be below 50 percent to prevent the growth of mold and mildew, which can cause respiratory problems and damage to buildings. High humidity can also make the indoor environment feel uncomfortable and stuffy. Maintaining humidity levels below 50 percent helps to create a healthier and more comfortable indoor environment.

    Does any vacuum eliminate live dust mites?

    • A.

      Yes

    • B.

      No

    Correct Answer
    B. No
    Explanation
    Dust mites are microscopic creatures that live in household dust and can cause allergies. While vacuuming can help remove dust mites and their allergens from surfaces, it does not eliminate all live dust mites. Some dust mites may still survive in hard-to-reach areas or in the air. Therefore, the correct answer is "No."

    Inhaled steroids have little to no effect on the inflammatory response on tobacco smoke.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Inhaled steroids are commonly used to treat inflammation in the airways, such as in asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, when it comes to the inflammatory response caused by tobacco smoke, inhaled steroids have been found to have little to no effect. This is because tobacco smoke contains a wide range of harmful substances that can directly damage the airways, leading to inflammation. Inhaled steroids primarily work by reducing the immune response and inflammation caused by allergens or irritants, but they are not effective in reducing the inflammation caused by tobacco smoke. Therefore, the statement that inhaled steroids have little to no effect on the inflammatory response to tobacco smoke is true.
