Do you have anyone with severe allergies or asthma in the family?
.....................................................................................................
The fastest, most effective way to change the whole environment inside your workplace or home is to filter molecules to microns in the air circulating within the building using the BON-AIRE PURASORB filter. Beyond particulates (dust, dust mites, animal dander) and biological contaminants (mold, bacteria), gasses and VOC's are filtered in the third stage. The advanced 3rd stage filtering has provided severe allergy and asthma sufferers more relief since gasses and VOC's are present in many buildings, including newer homes.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) consist of a range of chemicals that are released into the air over time. Often described as that pleasant, "new smell," VOCs can be harmful. Short-term exposure to VOCs can cause headaches, nausea and irritate eyes, throat and nose.
Do you need to control odors?
.....................................................................................................
Chemicals are common in many areas where we work and live. Chemicals are present in the common products we use every day including: personal care products, such as hair spray and spray deodorants; paints; hobby and home improvement supplies, such as glues and markers; aerosol sprays; cleaners and disinfectants; and automotive products.
Can you smell it?
.....................................................................................................
Yes, and no. Even the pros must rely on sophisticated equipment. But to a degree, the nose knows. Newly introduced VOCs, especially in carpet, can easily be detected by the odor they give off. They smell "new."
Open up a cupboard door and smell. If it smells "funny," formaldehyde may be present. If you see discolored walls, it may be mold.
