According to the German Allergy and Asthma Association (DAAB), carpets are not generally unsuitable for allergy sufferers. As a floor covering for allergy sufferers, the experts at the DAAB advocate a short pile carpet, which - in contrast to smooth floor coverings - binds the dust.
A current study by the Society for Environmental and Interior Analysis, which analyzes the room air depending on different floor coverings, comes to this conclusion: In rooms with smooth floors, the air is four times more polluted with fine dust than in rooms with textile Carpets are fitted. The fine dust contains excretions of the house dust mite, to which allergy sufferers are sensitive.
