It is a common opinion that carpets
contribute to asthma and allergy and release high levels of volatile
organic compounds (VOCs). Scientific studies do not link
allergy and asthma to use of the carpets. In fact, several
studies actually disprove any connection.
A 15-year Swedish study found no relation
between carpet usage and the rate of allergy or asthma. Actually, even
when carpet usage in Sweden decreased by 70 percent, allergy reactions
in the general population increased by 30 percent.
A 2003 study of more than 4,600 school
children in New Jersey found that having carpet in a child’s bedroom
was associated with fewer missed school days and they needed less
asthma medication.
Carpet may even be more helpful to people
with asthma and allergy working as a filter trapping dust, pollen and
other allergens. When allergens are trapped in the carpet, they
cannot circulate in the air for you to breathe.
