Most of us spend about 90% of our lives indoors--at home,
in the work place, shopping, etc. Energy conservation concerns over the last
twenty years have led to tighter, better-insulated, climate controlled indoor
environments. With these more energy efficient structures have come the perception
that the indoor environment is healthier because polluted outside air is sealed
out. Not true! According to the EPA, whether you live or work in a smog-choked
urban environment or enjoy the open spaces of rural living, indoor air has been
found to be up to seventy times more polluted than the air outside.
Many of these airborne particles come from man-made materials
used in furniture and upholstery, draperies, bedding, carpets, clothing, paints,
and cleaners. They also come from cooking, smoking, pets, candles and fireplaces.
Even some houseplants can produce pollutants.
There are approximately twenty million particles in every
cubic meter of air and all are a barrier to a truly healthy and clean environment.
These small particles pass through most filters and remain airborne or settle
onto surfaces. The problem of removing these particles from the environment
is solved by the EnviroSept Air Cleaner.
