This World Allergy Week, ASL joins the World Allergy Organization in recognising the 2026 theme: "Allergy Care Is Essential Care." . Explore the science, the statistics, and how certified products support healthier indoor spaces.

May is one of the busiest months of the year for the Asthma & Allergy Friendly® Certification Program and ASL. From AIA-accredited webinars and a published article in Building Enclosure magazine to an in-person Trade Mission in Chicago and a community health event at Sinai Health System, here is a full look at our Asthma & Allergy Awareness Month 2026 activity.

For Certified partners, the Chicago Asthma Consortium's 2026 Community Health Worker Educational Forum was a demonstration of what the Asthma & Allergy Friendly® Certification Program makes possible beyond the laboratory: real community impact, delivered through trusted products and shared purpose.
