Asthma and Alergies: People with asthma and alergies suffer enormous discomfort when exposed to pollution. It is very important to have a clean environment, free of chemicals and pollutants, in order to insure a good nights sleep, especially for children. In our experience, we have found that those who suffer from asthma and allergies need a high-quality air purifier that is also user friendly and whisper quiet. The Aireox D-Model 45 room air purifier is the perfect answer, it is whisper quiet for bedroom use and "User-friendly". It is also designed to run 24 hours a day.
H.E.P.A: The term "HEPA" stands for High Efficiency Particle Airification. The H.E.P.A filter is a pleated type filter whose only function is to remove particles from the air (dust, smoke, pollen etc.) Normaly the H.E.P.A type filters use large amounts of adhesives to seal off the ends of the pleated material. The sealant required can out-gas and cause people to have a bad reaction, especially those who are chemically sensitive or have asthma or other alergies. That is why Aireox particle filters are user-friendly and do not require adhesives that can outgas chemicals into the air.
MTB's: MTB's are a by-product of an additive now used in more and more gasoline products. It is used to decrease auto exhaust emissions. In some cases, the emissions from this additive can make people sick, robbing them of well being and interrupting their sleep. A bedroom and air purifier will help control the problem.
Ozone: Ozone is a very dangerous gas that can cause damage to lung tissue when exposed to high concentrations or prolonged exposussre. Ozone is found in smog and is also produced by some home appliances. The Aireox air purifier's abundants Activated Carbon/Purafil media bed will effectaveily remove ozone from the enviroment.
Mold Spores and Dust Mites: Mold spores are the air born seeds that can produce new mold growth. Some people find they are allergic to mold spores or dust mites, a microscopic insect that clings to dust particles. Exposure to the mites should be reduced as much as possible. The Aireox air purifier's half-micron (.5 micron) particle filter and abundant activated carbon effectively trap and remove both mold spores and dust mites from the air.
Formaldehyde: Formaldehyde is a carbon based liquide that is found in a very large number of home and office products. These products include carpets, drapes, wood products, furniture, and insulation. This chemical is very irritating to people with asthma, allergies, MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivities) and many other people with breathing difficulties. A chemical control media is necessary for the removal of this gas from the indoor environment.
Chemical Control Media: There are a number of chemical control medias available. The two we prefer and reccommend are Activated Carbon and a product called Purafil. We have used these two medias in our purifiers from the outset. Each media must be user friendly and not add to the problem, which requires years of testing to accomplish. Second, each media must be extreamely effecive at controlling airborn particles and chemicals. Below are descriptions of Chemical Control Media that we use...
Activated Carbon: Our primary activated carbon product is a high grade carbon that is well suited to airborn chemical removal. It has a hard composition with a very low inherent dust factor. Activated carbon is accomplished by using a superheated steam in the carbonixation process that causes microp pores to form in the carbon, exposing the inner core of each chip. This allows the carbon a much greater surface area to absorb a larger amout of chemicals. Activatied Carbon is our most popular form of media.
Purafil: Purafil is made from potassium permanganate. This product has been utilized in the industry for over thirty years. It works in a different manner than carbon, chemicals are actually oxidized and are then kept locked into the pellet. This product is generally not used as a sole media because we find that mixing the two products is more effictive.
Purafil/Carbon (PC) Mixture: We recommend our PC mixture when dealing with aggressive chemicals, such as elevated levels of formaldehyde in homes or polyvinl chlorides in automobiles.
Zeolite: In response to many inquiries about the possible use of Zeolite in our products, we would like to clarify our position. We do not use Zeolite in either of its forms, mined or artificially created. Our engineers feel that Zeolite's ability to absorb or otherwise remove chemical pollutants is far too low. Aireox Research does not use Zeolite.
