CLEARING THE AIR FOR ALLERGY SUFFERERS: NEW FORD CABIN AIR FILTERS HELP PROVIDE RELIEF

SUMMARY:

• Cabin air filters installed in 2010 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ are now allergen rated to remove pollen, mold spores and other airborne irritants
• Allergen-reducing cabin filters will be used in many new Ford products including Ford Fiesta, which goes on sale in North America this year
• Ford is the only automaker in Europe whose interiors achieve the stringent official TÜV Rhineland® allergy-friendly certification
• Allergic rhinitis, commonly known as “hay fever,” affects up to 30 percent of adults and as many as 40 percent of children, costing more than $11 billion annually in the U.S. alone

CONTEXT / BACKGROUND:

For the millions of people who suffer from airborne allergies, Ford is making a small change that could produce huge benefits. Beginning with the 2010 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ, more efficient, upgraded allergen filters have been installed in the vehicles’ climate control systems. The particulate filters remove pollen, mold spores and road dust from outside air. The result is a cleaner, fresher cabin for occupants.

Ford is planning to use the high-quality cabin filters in a host of new vehicles, including the Ford Fiesta, which goes on sale in North America this year.
