Product Description

Working in conjunction with its twin washable filter system, our air purifier pulls in unclean air from the rear, first passing through the carbon filter which removes airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns. This filter also acts to deodorize any unpleasant odors. Air then passes through the inner photocatalytic screen, further filtering airborne contaminants as small as 0.2 microns. The anion emitters, now moved forward of the fan to the front panel, release trillions of negative ions into your home, attaching themselves to dust particles, and dropping them straight to the floor. This advanced function is ideal for eliminating dust, bacteria, animal dander, and other harmful particles that float in the air. Left behind is fresh oxygen rich air, perfect for those suffering from allergies, asthma, and respiratory problems. The sterilizer function turns on the units blue UV-C lamp to incinerate ninety nine percent of microorganisms like bacteria, mold spores, mildew, fungi, viruses, yeast, and airborne germs as they pass through the unit.

Pollen season

Maybe if your mom hadn't stopped you from eating dirt at the playground, you wouldn't be all itchy now and runny-nosed because it's allergy season.

It is that time of the year again, as nature sends out millions of grains of pollen, seemingly mostly into your eyeballs and nostrils.

Are you part of that select club of 3 to 5 percent of the population who experts say are severely affected by airborne allergens?

How severe? Oh, maybe like this:

As James Thurber, the celebrated humorist, is said to have complained, "I used to wake up at 4 a.m. and start sneezing, sometimes for five hours. I tried to find out what sort of allergy I had but finally came to the conclusion that it must be an allergy to consciousness."

And guess what, pollen sufferers? It's only going to get worse.

The allergy season is expected to last for longer stretches, because of — what else? — global warming.

Plus, pollen allergies may also affect a larger group of people as more and more of the world's population lives in ... too-hygienic a society. Yes, too clean.

Omeros Adds Four More Unlocked Orphan GPCRs to its Portfolio

/PRNewswire/ -- Omeros Corporation (NASDAQ: OMER ) today announced that it has identified compounds that functionally interact with each of four additional orphan G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Without compounds that functionally interact with orphan GPCRs, developing drugs targeting those receptors is extremely difficult. Omeros has now unlocked 37 of them, representing over 45 percent of the Class A orphan GPCRs. There are approximately 120 orphan GPCRs and Omeros expects to unlock a large percentage of them, focusing first on Class A orphan GPCRs.

The four additional orphan GPCRs unlocked by Omeros are GPR83, GPR150, GPR151 and GPR183. GPR83 has been implicated in memory, stress and control of emotions and is also associated with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. GPR150 is linked to ovarian cancer, while GPR151 is involved with cognition. GPR183 is an important component of the immune system and plays a central role in controlling B-cell migration and T-cell-dependent antibody production. Omeros is in the process of filing broad patent applications around its unlocked orphan GPCRs and compound optimization efforts are in progress.

Is Seattle's climate harsh on people with asthma and allergies?

How severe?


The spring and fall can be harsh. The amount of pollen flying in the air drives my children and me nuts! However it’s nothing that a good box of lotion infused Kleenex and some Benadryl can’t handle.
We usually have allergy attacks for


It can be. There is a lot of pollen in the air, especially in spring and fall. But I've lived all over and have found that I react to the pollen in different places differently - must be my sensitivities do the pollen of different plants.


Allergies yes we have a lot of pollen around here but asthma no our air is very clean compared to other states

Drivable Trails in Washington State Seattle Area?

I am new to the Seattle area and have gone on several hikes (Lake Serene, Cascades and Rattlesnake Mountain). My parents are coming to visit, and I want to show them some of Washington state's natural beauty.

Unfortunately they don't have


Here are some suggestions for some scenic drives - most at the limit of your drive time
1. Mt. St Helens
2. Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park
3. Crystal Mtn Ski area - you can take the chair lift to the summit in the summer


There are some locations like that, but only if you are willing to do a 2-3 hour drive to get there, with another 2-3 hour drive to get back.

Highway 20 (North Cascades Highway) to Winthrop is a lovely drive for example, and the drive to
