What Are VOC's?
As our homes have become more thoroughly insulated, it's
become difficult to ensure good indoor air quality. Today
even the most well kept homes and offices contain airborne
particles and VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
VOC's are produced by many common household
products and even stored products still emit VOC's.
Products that contain VOC's:
Aerosol sprays
Cleaning products
Air fresheners
Art and hobby supplies
Stored fuels and automotive products
Dry-cleaned clothing
How does the Air Tube Jr. Combat VOC's ?
The Air Tube Jr. contains 4 lbs. of specially activated carbon,
which is impregnated with catalysts to react with pollutants
and remove them from the air.
While the human body posses
some natural defense against
particles, we have no natural
defense against airborne
chemicals and gases.
Activated charcoal
(impregnated) is used in
industrial gas masks and by
hospital (in its non
impregnated form) to treat
poisoning.
AllerAir air purifiers are used in
dental clinics, laser eye surgical
rooms and in hospitals.
Investing in a serious air cleaner
will help maintain good health
and may help you save on
expensive allergy medications.
Indoor air quality is ranked
among the EPA's top risks to
public health.
We spend 90% of our time
indoors. Half of that in our homes
and 70% of that time in our
bedrooms.
