Control of house dust mite antigen in bedding.
Bedding has been constructed with a vapour-permeable waterproof fabric that is impermeable to house dust mite antigen (Der p1). Der p1 levels per gram of mattress dust after 12 weeks' use of the new covering were 1% of levels in control samples from mattresses cleaned conventionally.
