Wyndham Hotels and Resorts is starting a " CleanAir " campaign to

designate 10 percent of its rooms as allergy-free zones by the end

of 2009. The Parsippany-based hotel chain plans to use a system

developed by Pure Solutions of Buffalo to remove 98 percent of nose-

twitching, eye-burning allergans.

Walls, carpets and bedding will be treated with a microbe-trapping

shield, and rooms will be outfitted with what the hotelier calls

a " medical-grade air purification system. " Eight hotels currently

use the technology, including the Wyndham Princeton Forrestal Hotel

and Conference Center in New Jersey.

" As travelers continue to focus on wellness, we're excited to offer

ClearAir Rooms as a healthy amenity for Wyndham guests and meeting

attendees, " Strebel, president of Wyndham Hotels and Resorts,

said in a statement.
