The Air You Breathe is Full of Surprises!

Would you drink contaminated water, then why breathe contaminated air?

Evidence from the pandemic has proven aerosolized viruses can linger indoors for hours and travel more than 20 feet, particularly in places with inadequate ventilation. So it’s no surprise one person can become a super-spreader to dozens of others. For healthy living we require clean indoor air; the time has come to reimagine how air flows through the places we work, learn and play.

The gold standard is outdoor air because under normal conditions it’s up to 5X cleaner to breathe than indoor air given the constant mixing caused by air currents continually diluting pathogen concentrations. More. Is the air outside your window healthy today? Find out now.

To better understand the consequences of pathogen transmission, it helps to understand how much air we actually inhale. Each of us takes ~ 20,000 breaths a day. Equivalent to ~2,000 gallons a day. With each breath, we inhale ~ 25 sextillion molecules (that’s 25 with 21 zeroes behind it). It’s inevitable to inhale dangerous molecules. Thereafter, many pay the high price of getting sick or even worse unless we seriously lessen the incidence of contamination by taking measures to protect ourselves and those around us. Our technologies and science attack viruses, bacteria, VOCs, and small and large particulate matter in indoor air. Our promise: we’ll deactivate their destructive effects.

We focus on outcomes, but before solving a problem, let’s get to know the enemy. 

+ Viruses are NOT alive 
They are infectious microbes made of DNA or RNA surrounded by a coat of protein. They do not replicate. Instead, a virus infects another cell to make a copy of itself. More

+ Bacteria are alive
 A bacterium is a single cell that can reproduce creating another organism with identical DNA. For a sense of scale, compare a human to a virus and bacterium. More

+ Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) can be dangerous
VOCs are chemicals released into the air as gases from common household products like paints, cleaning fluids, fabrics and thousands of other solids and liquids. VOCs can concentrate up to 10X higher indoors than outdoors. Some are carcinogens, others toxic, odorous and benign. More

+ Mold/Spores are alive
Mold is a fungus; spreads in moist dark places; reproduces by releasing spores into the air that are dangerous to inhale. When spores settle on a moist surface new colonies form. When mold is present exposure is unavoidable. More

+ Particulate Matter is dangerous too
PM is the sum of all solid and liquid particles suspended in the air such as dust, pollen, smoke, allergens, etc. More
