Why new houses are potential health problems for some.
August 1, 2006 by Admin at CentralStatesCleanAir.
Today’s houses are built extra tight, and the problem lies in the fact that fresh air is not allowed to come in and replace the contaminated air inside the house. Folks and children with allergies or asthma will be especially susceptable to breathing problems because of this. The contaminants keep circulating in the house and keep the affected person constantly fighting the allergens in the air, thereby never getting any relief. With a CaluTech UV air purifier installed, you can clean and purify the air inside your home so it is cleaner than the outside air (which is also very contaminated), thereby bringing relief to your allergy and asthma symptoms. With the amount of asthma cases growing each year in adults as well as children, our UV air purifiers will bring real relief to these people. This is an investment in the health of you and your loved ones. Don’t you deserve to breathe easy again?

A little bit about VOC’s and what they are.
August 1, 2006 by Admin at CentralStatesCleanAir.
What are Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and where do they come from?
VOCs are gases given off by a number of indoor sources.
Formaldehyde is one of the most common VOCs. It is common in many building materials such as plywood, particleboard, and glues. Formaldehyde is also found in furnishings (furniture, drapes and carpets) and in some types of foam insulation. Other sources of VOCs and formaldehyde include burning of fuels: gas, wood, kerosene, and tobacco products. VOCs also come from personal care products such as perfumes and hair spray, from cleaning agents and dry cleaning fluid, paints, lacquers and varnishes, and from copying and printing machines.
VOCs can be released from a product for several years, though the amounts given off tend to be less as the product ages and “dries out”.
What symptoms do VOCs cause?
VOCs can cause irritation of the eyes, nose and throat, nausea and dizziness, and skin problems. Higher amounts can cause irritation of the lungs and wheezing. Higher exposures to formaldehyde may also cause memory problems and anxiety.
