Health Update: Dust-free design
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.BRITAIN'S three million asthmatics are often told to avoid contact with the house dust mite. But this is easier said than done, since the tiny creature gets everywhere. Now help has arrived in the form of a model low-allergen house, designed by the National Asthma Campaign, to provide an environment free from common allergic triggers.
The house, which will go on show at the 1994 FutureWorld Exhibition in Milton Keynes next week, contains almost no dust-trapping soft furnishings or fitted carpets, substituting leather chair covers, washable rugs and window blinds.
