Systems and methods for neutralization of airborne allergens with organic acids

A system for neutralization of airborne allergens, the system comprising:

• (a) a formulation comprising:
• (i) an organic acid having a vapor pressure between about 0.001 Pa and about 172 Pa at room temperature and standard pressure and an aqueous solubility of at least about 24.99 grams organic acid per 100 grams water at room temperature and standard pressure;
• (ii) a solvent selected from the group consisting of glycols, glycol ethers, glycol ether acetates and any combinations or mixtures thereof;
• and
• (iii) optionally, one or more adjuvants selected from the group consisting of fragrances, waxes, dyes, colorants, stabilizers, thickeners, defoamers, hydrotropes, buffers, builders, enzymes, cloud point modifiers, preservatives, and any mixtures or combinations thereof;
• and
• (b) a device that generates droplets of the formulation having a median particle size (Dv50) of no greater than about 120 micrometers;
• wherein the system provides a statistically significant reduction, over a control, in one or more airborne allergens as measured by an enzyme linked immunoassay.
