(NAPSA)—A growing number of people are learning more about the negative health effects associated with indoor pollution. Indoor air pollutants are of particular concern because most people spend about 90 percent of their time indoors. Fortunately, more information is also available about ways to best purify the air at home and to protect the health of the people who live there from the negative effects of indoor pollution. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) studies of human exposure to air pollutants may be up to 100 times higher than outdoor levels and these contaminants continuously circulate throughout the home. Most homes havefilters that remove particles from the air; the problem is that many of these contaminants are much too small to be capturedbyfilters. Manyof these harmful pollutants pass through filter like sand through a tennis racket. An ultraviolet air purifier is designed to be moreefficient, sterilizing and neutralizing the air on a molecular level, much the same way the sun cleans the atmosphere. Someof the latest and mostefficient air purifiers irradiate biological contaminants such asallergens, mold, bacteria, viruses and chemi- cals such as cigarette smoke, formaldehyde and VOCs (Volatile oft An ultraviolet air purifier sterilizes and neutralizes the air much the same way the sun cleans the atmosphere. Organic Compounds). The process, developed by Sanuvox Technologies is different from the conventional “stick light” UV purifiers in that it uses specific tools to maximize UV exposure and intensity. It is this maximized exposure and intensity—a form of germicidal light—that helps remove chemical and biological contaminants, which are very difficult to treat. As more and more people begin to understand the importance of indoor air quality and the potential damage done by contaminants which circulate through ventilation systems, there is a growing interest in purifiers that can destroy chemical and biological contaminants.
