What is an Allergen?

An allergen is a substance that triggers an allergic reaction in some people. Common indoor allergens include pollen, dust mites, pet dander and mold spores. When inhaled, these microscopic particles can irritate the respiratory system, causing symptoms like sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, or asthma flare-ups — especially in individuals with sensitive immune systems.

It is something tiny in the air that can bother your body and trigger allergy symptoms.. If you’ve ever sneezed a lot, had a runny nose, or felt itchy eyes out of nowhere — allergens could be the reason.

Sources of Allergens

Allergens may come from a variety of sources. Common sources include:

Dust mitesBedding, upholstery, carpets
Pet danderCats, dogs, other animals
Mold sporesBathrooms, basements, HVAC units, walls

Why Indoor Air Quality Matters for Allergy Sufferers

If you suffer from seasonal allergies, asthma, or sensitivity to airborne irritants, the air inside your home may be doing more harm than you think. Indoor air can carry a high concentration of pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and other microscopic allergens — all of which can trigger sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, or more serious respiratory discomfort.
Unlike outdoor exposure, indoor allergens stay trapped and recirculated — especially in sealed, energy-efficient homes.

How SONA Helps

SONA air purifiers use advanced ionization technology to actively target airborne allergens. By charging particles in the air, ionization causes allergens to clump together and fall out of your breathing zone or get captured more effectively by filters or surfaces.

  • Targets airborne allergens like pollen, dust mites, mold spores, and pet dander
  • Reduces allergy triggers in bedrooms, living spaces, and HVAC systems
  • Quiet operation — designed for 24/7 clean air
  • No costly filter replacements — low maintenance, long-lasting performance

Breathe Easier, Sleep Better

Allergy symptoms often worsen at night — when you’re lying still and breathing indoor air for hours. SONA purifiers are whisper-quiet and designed for use in bedrooms, nurseries, and rest spaces, helping reduce overnight exposure to allergens.

SONA vs. Traditional Air Purifiers

Most traditional air purifiers rely only on passive, mechanical filtration. SONA’s active ionization technology means faster and more effective allergen reduction — without relying onr bulky filter units.
