How Toxic Is Your Air?
THE SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM
• According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indoor air pollution is the #1
environmental health concern.
• Indoor air pollutant levels are often 5 times higher than outdoor air and occasionally up
to 100 times higher.
• Indoor air quality is an enormous health concern for everyone because we spend 90% of
our time indoors.
• Every day the average adult breathes in 62 pounds of air and drinks 4.4 pounds of water.
That means we take in 14 times more air than water. The large surface area of the lungs
and the sensitivity of the tissues make them susceptible to air pollution.
• People who are inside a great deal are at greater risk of developing heart problems, or
having problems made worse by indoor air pollutants. These people include infants,
young children, the elderly, and those with chronic illness.
• Many ordinary activities such as cooking, heating, cooling, cleaning, and redecorating can
cause the release and spread of indoor pollutants at home.
• "Sick Building Syndrome" is on the rise in this country.
• "Indoor air quality has deteriorated in our homes, offices, schools, restaurants, hospitals
and office buildings. Buildings have become better insulated and therefore have less
fresh air circulating." - EPA
• Closed buildings accumulate molds, mites, dust, bacteria and viruses. The result is that
these sick buildings make people sick.
• 40% of all buildings are a serious hazard to our health because of their polluted air. -
World Health Organization
• The EPA's own headquarters had to be shut down due to "sick building syndrome".
• In 1989, an EPA report to the Congress concluded that an improvement in indoor air
quality would result in increased productivity, decreased loss of work days and decreased
health care costs possibly leading to a savings of $10 billion.
• Pollutants in our indoor air can increase the risk and worsen important disease conditions
such as asthma, allergies, sinusitis, chronic lung disease and chronic fatigue.
• 40 million Americans have allergies, 22 million people have asthma and millions more
suffer from emphysema and other breathing problems.
• Recent studies have indicated that pollutants in the air can also trigger vascular reactions
that lead to heart attacks.MOLD
• One-third to one-half of all structures in this country have damp conditions
that encourage the growth of pollutants such as molds and bacteria.
• These molds and bacteria trigger allergic reactions, asthma and other respiratory ailments
and can spread infectious disease. CHILDREN
• Children are at greater risk than adults for both
short and long-term illnesses from breathing noxious
air for several reasons:
»» They breathe more air in proportion to
their body weight than adults do resulting
in greater exposure to these environmental
toxins.
»» They breathe faster through their mouths
which increases the likelihood of toxins
reaching their lungs. (Breathing through
the nose filters out as much as 90% of pollutants
before they reach the lungs.)
»» Children, especially those under 10, are
more sensitive to damage because their
lungs are still developing. THE THEORY
The patent-pending AirSource / RGF Photoionization cleaning and disinfection process occurs as a
result of the free radical formation that develops when ozone gas reacts with a high-intensity
broad spectrum UV light on a trimetallic target (copper, silver and titanium). The resulting advanced
oxidation gasses disperse into the air. The advanced oxidizers created by AirSource are considered
friendly oxidizers as they revert back to oxygen
and hydrogen after the oxidation occurs. Therefore,
as the friendly oxidizers encounter airborne organics
(bacteria, mold, odors, gases, etc.), they are consumed
by the oxidation reaction and revert back to oxygen and
hydrogen. Should the oxidizers be dispersed in a sterile
room, they will be "stored" in the room as an airborne
oxidizer and travel until they find an organic host.
Diffusion of gases into your air is always occurring.
For example, when you can smell coffee that is being
brewed across the room, you are experiencing the
results of the coffee odor diffusing. The closer you are
to the brewing coffee, the stronger the odor.
In a similar manner, the friendly oxidizers leave the
AirSource® 3000 and "diffuse" throughout the building.
As the friendly oxidizers encounter airborne organics
(bacteria, mold, odors, gases, etc.), they are consumed
by the oxidation reaction and revert back to oxygen
and water. Over time, the gases will continue to diffuse
so that they will reach the most remote corners of the
home.
