Looking back at the year so far, the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology Conference has been the stand out event so far. It was held in London in June and over 8,000 delegates attended, ranging from 109 different countries. There were many oral and poster presentations of interest to ASL, particularly in the area of environmental exposure to allergen, including dust mites and pollen.

This explosion of environmentally friendly products has created an interesting challenge in the cleaning products sector: Although some cleaning products may truly claim to be green, their safety in use for those with asthma and allergies is not as clear.
