Why do allergies get worse indoors? JASPR founder Mike Feldstein, a former wildfire and mold remediation pro, explains what HEPA labels leave out and why airflow (CADR) matters more than filter efficiency. He also shares what household dust reveals about microplastics, and why he calls air fresheners the new secondhand smoke. Sponsored by JASPR. Use code MOTLEY.
