Indoor Air Pollution

The three most common approaches to reducing indoor air pollution, in order of effectiveness, are:
• Source Control: Eliminate or control the sources of pollution;
• Ventilation: Dilute and exhaust pollutants through outdoor air ventilation, and
• Air Cleaning: Remove pollutants through proven air cleaning methods.
Of the three, the first approach -- source control -- is the most effective. This involves minimizing the
use of products and materials that cause indoor pollution, employing good hygiene practices to minimize
biological contaminants (including the control of humidity and moisture, and occasional cleaning and
disinfection of wet or moist surfaces), and using good housekeeping practices to control particles.
The second approach -- outdoor air ventilation -- is also effective and commonly employed. Ventilation
methods include installing an exhaust fan close to the source of contaminants, increasing outdoor air
flows in mechanical ventilation systems, and opening windows, especially when pollutant sources are in
use.
The third approach -- air cleaning -- is not generally regarded as sufficient in itself, but is sometimes
used to supplement source control and ventilation. Air filters, electronic particle air cleaners and ionizers
are often used to remove airborne particles, and gas adsorbing material is sometimes used to remove
gaseous contaminants when source control and ventilation are inadequate.
The Filtropur™ Advanced Filtration System consists of a sealed filtration system to capture particles at 99.99% that are .3 microns in size. The most revolutionary feature of the SFS technology is that it constantly kills airborne contaminants.
The Filtropur™ Sanitizing Filtration System is certified to kill 94%-100% of mold/ fungus, 98%-100% of bacteria and 99%-100% of viruses, while removing particles at 99.99% efficiency at .3 microns. This helps to drastically reduce the opportunities for illness and may improve the health and well-being of individuals.
