The Air Oasis™ 3000 Air Purifier uses patent
pending technology to effectively reduce indoor air pollution. Indoor air
pollutants fall into three categories:
|
|
 |
|
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 and 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.
