Does any body know if pollen travells through airconditioning in a house?
Yes. It depends on how good or how clean the filters are, how old the machine is, whether it's a window unit or central air, etc. And pollen can get into a house many other ways... not just through air conditioners. People bring it in on their clothing, pets bring it in, it can come through cracks in doors and windows, etc. Go ahead and use the air conditioner. It probably won't make much difference in the pollen count inside the house.
Reply:Yes it can! Pollen particles are so minute that it would take a more sophisticated filter than an air conditioner filter to stop it!
Reply:I in no way mean to alarm you, but my mum has two filters on her A/C.


She has bad allergies, and that was reccomended to her.


It seems to work for her in the house.
Reply:no, they have large filters.
Reply:yes it can. make sure that ur airconditioner vents are turned to closed instead of open.
Reply:Yes, of course it can. Sure, AC's have filters but pollen is teeny tiny, it'll fit through.





I believe they make special HEPA filter AC's though, but I'm sure they are really expensive.
