This is a long shot and a very wild guess but, how about mosturizing the air?

Dry air causes all sorts of problems. Humidifiers reduce congestion from the flu and colds. They prevent bloody noses and otherwise keep your nasal passages healthy. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002104.htm

The most common benefits: 1. Can help relieve cold symptoms by making the air you breath moist, which helps keep your lungs more elastic. 2. Reduce susceptibility to infection by keeping the mucus membranes of your throat and nasal passages moist allowing the tiny hairs (cilia) in both to work at expelling foreign objects such as mold, pet dander and bacteria. 3. Relieve and prevent dry, scratchy skin and lips. 4. Keep valuable wood furniture from drying out and cracking. 5. Reduce static electricity, thus reducing the tiny shocks received from touching certain objects and other people. 6. Can help prevent wood floors from buckling and separating. 7. Reduce nosebleeds, as the air you breathe is moist. http://www.essortment.com/lifestyle/humidifierbenef_shai.htm My personal favorite is the no shocks from static electricity. Good question+++

It puts moisture in the air and is helpful to those with asthma. However, there is a downside..humidifiers breed bacteria..they must be cleaned regularly or you are working against your own best interests by breathing in more bad stuff than you are removing from the surrounding air. It is best to do your homework when you buy one and follow the directions/instructions for cleaning them absolutely or you will hurt yourself. :)
