Imagine struggling to breathe, feeling like you’re suffocating, and being constantly on edge – a world where every moment is a test of lung power. For millions worldwide, asthma is a harsh reality that disrupts lives, limits potential, and sparks constant concern. However, it’s not just about managing symptoms – it’s about access to life-saving treatments and creating a healthier environment. As we observe World Asthma Day 2025 with the theme “Make Inhaled Treatments Accessible for ALL,” we’re reminded that the impact of asthma on children, pregnant women, and men is different. This year, we are shining a light on the importance of accessible inhaled treatments and innovative solutions like the Healthy Air D-orbital Nano (DNO) catalyst purifier, which can erase triggers in the air and bring relief to those who need it most.

The Asthma Burden

Asthma is a long-term, chronic breathing disorder that affects people of all ages, but its impact varies across different groups:

• Children: Asthma can disrupt their childhood, limiting their ability to play, learn, and socialize. It can also affect their academic performance and overall well-being.
• Pregnant women: Uncontrolled asthma can increase the risk of complications during pregnancy, such as preterm labor and low birth weight.
• Men: Asthma can impact their productivity, relationships, and overall quality of life.

Causes and Triggers

Asthma is triggered by various factors, including:

• Air pollution: Exposure to pollutants such as Particulate Matter, especially PM2.5, Ozone (O₃), and Nitrogen dioxide, can exacerbate asthma symptoms.
• Allergens: Dust mites, pollen, pet dander, and mold can trigger allergic reactions and asthma attacks.
• Respiratory infections: Viral and bacterial infections can trigger asthma symptoms.

The Importance of Access to Inhaled Medications

Inhaled medications are crucial for managing asthma and treating asthma attacks. However, many people with asthma lack access to these life-saving treatments. Asthma inhalers are lifesavers, but for many Nigerians, they’re out of reach. With the cheapest inhaler costing around NGN 7,000, affordability is a major issue, especially during the current economic crisis. To save lives, we need to make inhaled medications accessible to everyone who needs them.

A Breath of Fresh Air: Healthy Air D-orbital Nano Oxide (DNO) Catalyst Purifier

One way to reduce asthma triggers is by using air purifiers like the Healthy Air Medical-grade D-orbital Nano Oxide (DNO) Catalyst purifier. This innovative technology captures and kills 99.99% of air pollutants, including:

• Dust and Pollen: Common allergens that trigger asthma symptoms.
• Bacteria and Viruses: Microorganisms that can exacerbate respiratory issues.

Utilizing the DNO Catalyst purifier in enclosed indoor environments like bedrooms, sitting rooms, classrooms, and offices can create healthier spaces, ensure that fresh, pure Oxygen-Rich Air is inhaled, reducing the risk of asthma triggers.

Let’s Make a Difference

On World Asthma Day, May 6^th 2025, let’s advocate for:

• Accessible Inhaled Medications: Ensure that all people with asthma have access to the treatments they need.
• Cleaner Air: Promote the use of medical-grade air purification systems like the Healthy Air DNO Catalyst purifier to reduce asthma triggers.
• Asthma Awareness: Break the stigma to save lives. Asthma is a medical condition, not a spiritual issue. Let’s raise awareness, educate ourselves and others, and ensure timely treatment to prevent unnecessary suffering and loss.

Yearly, the first Tuesday in May is set aside to promote asthma awareness and support individuals living with Asthma. Let’s join forces, because together, we can make a difference and improve the lives of people with asthma. Let’s work towards a future where everyone can breathe clean and easy.
