Particulates- Term used for the mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets found in the air. Over 99% of particulate matter is invisible to the naked eye and can easily infiltrate the lungs. On average, every cubic foot of untreated indoor air contains 20 million particles.
|
 |
Microbes- Includes three major types of organisms: bacteria, protozoa, and fungi/mold. Most of these contaminants rely on a humid and moist environment for growth & survival. Some molds can produce certain chemicals, such as mycotoxins and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's).
|
 |
Gases & Odors- Indoor gases, such as benzene, formaldehyde, and hydrogen sulfide, are released from furniture, carpets, hair sprays, cleaning chemicals, insulation, and pesticides. Gases include VOC's which evaporate into the air easily. Odors are often made up of VOC's or other gases.

Because of increasing energy costs, Americans today are sealing their homes and buildings with better windows, insulation, and moldings.
When homes and other buildings are sealed, contaminants can build up, such as mold. As air passes through the home, the mold - along with chemicals given off by paints, cleaners, glues, particle board furniture, pesticides, and of course, cigarette smoke - is picked up and circulated throughout the structure without ever being "cleaned. "
According to the World Health Organization, 40% of all buildings are a serious hazard to our health because of their polluted air.
Symptoms caused by indoor air pollutants can include:
• Eye and skin irritation
• Lung irritation
• Nose and throat discomfort
• Fatigue
• Unpleasantness from offensive odors
Did you know:
• U.S. EPA studies indicate that indoor levels of air pollutants may be 2-5 times higher than outdoor levels.
• Indoor pollutant levels can reach 100 times that of outdoor levels when we effectively "seal" our houses even tighter from the elements during winter months.
• High levels of indoor air pollutants may be of particular concern because most people spend up to 90% of their time indoors.
What's the solution? The Air Oasis™ 3000 Air Purifier not only removes particles from the air, but will safely and effectively kill bacteria, mold, viruses and many other contaminants.
