Children with asthma are taking part in a trial to see if the Airsonett machine, which sucks up dust, can reduce their symptoms
A machine that hangs over the bed cleaning the surrounding air could ease night-time wheezing for asthmatics.

The £2,000 Airsonett machine uses the same technology deployed by manufacturing industries to create sterile environments by removing dust particles from the air.
