Air Purification Systems Indoor air affects everyone and it often contains higher concentrations of hazardous pollutants than outdoor air. However, the good news is that everyone can reduce indoor air pollution. How can the air inside our homes be so bad for us? Over the years, buildings have been made more airtight to conserve energy. A variety of methods and synthetic materials, many toxic, have been employed to keep the hot or cold air from escaping from our homes: installing storm windows and insulation, applying caulk and weather-stripping to sealing cracks and other openings and heating our homes with kerosene, wood, coal and natural gas. Unfortunately, when we trap in hot or cool air, we also trap in pollutants and sometimes generate more. On average, people spend about 90% of their time indoors. Sixty-five percent of that is spent at home. To make matters worse, those who are most susceptible to indoor pollution are the ones who are home the most: children, pregnant women, and the elderly. Children breathe in 50% more air per body pound of weight than adults do. "EPA studies have found that pollutants inside can be 2-15 times higher than the outdoors. After some activities, indoor air pollution levels can be 100 times higher than outside". Hence, the word "Sick Building Syndrome" came about from the EPA. There are many sources of pollutants in the home including chemicals, cleaning products, and pesticides. Less obvious pollutants are caused by simple tasks such as cooking, bathing, cleaning and heating the home. Fortunately, there are easy steps that everyone can take to reduce the potential for indoor air pollution and to improve the quality of the air they breathe. |

How do you know if the air problem inside your home is dangerous to your health? Often, it is difficult to determine which pollutant or pollutants are the sources of a person's ill health, or even if indoor air pollution is the problem. Many indoor air pollutants cannot be detected by our sense of smell. Our air purification unit uses a new 5-part system that incorporates a high intensity UVX light with a specially developed rare metal hydrophilic coating on the engineered matrix, which reduces airborne contaminants, and odors while creating super oxide ions and hydro peroxides. This technology reduces more odors, toxins and microorganisms than other air purification units on the market do today. By engineering the proper light wavelengths into the new cell, our company has developed a highly effective system designed to utilize 245 nm hv germicidal UV light. Falling between visible UV light and invisible X-Rays in the light spectrum UVX makes use of the same oxidation/sterilization and ionizing properties of light as naturally occurring sunlight. This innovative use of light is what makes the purification process so effective. This technology was originally developed in cooperation with NASA to clean the air in space! As a result, our system is certified by the NASA Space Foundation. Mention this web site, and you will receive a special discount. Kathy Resasco and Fred Wagner offer a variety of services including in home/office evaluations, set up and advise regarding placement of your system. We are located at 60 Lorraine Court * Holbrook, NY 11741. For a free, no obligation consultation by appointment, call Kathy Resasco and Fred Wagner at (631) 737-2070.
