Allergy Sufferers Other than the spread of colds and other infections indoors, allergic reactions may be the most common health problem that results from the air quality inside your home. People are most often allergic to animal dander, dust mites and pollen. Allergic reactions can range from mildly uncomfortable to life-threatening - as in a severe asthma attack
Asthmatics The number of people dealing with asthma has increased dramatically in the US. Now, one out of every 10 people has the problem - about 22 million Americans. One of every 13 schoolchildren is affected by asthma. Persistent environmental allergy symptoms can lead to significant asthma problems Children Children face the greatest risk when it comes to indoor air quality. Long-term exposure to poor air can lead to short- and long-term illnesses more quickly for children because: · They breathe more air in proportion to their body weight - which results in greater exposure to environmental toxins. · They breathe faster, and through their mouths, which increases the likelihood of toxins reading their lungs. (The nose filters out as much as 90% of these pollutants before they reach the lungs.) · They are closer to the floor, where the gases and fumes settle. · Children (especially those 10 and under) are more sensitive to lung damage because their lungs are still developing. Children breath in more concentrated doses of pollutants than adults and they are less equipped to handle those pollutants than adults. Computer models show that children can receive 3 - 4 times as many pollution deposits as adults. Research shows that as a long-term result of these exposures, children can develop significant decreases in lung capacity and function. Those with Chronic Illnesses Indoor air pollution can make those who are already sick even sicker. People with chronic illnesses already have weakened immune systems, so they are unable to easily fight off the effects of indoor pollutants. Women Who Work At Home One study conducted over a 15-year period showed women who worked at home had a 54% higher death rate from cancer than women who had jobs away from the home. The study concluded that the increased death rate was due to daily exposure to hazardous chemicals found in ordinary household products. Healthy people If you are living or working in a "sick building," chances are you are going to get sick too. Some viruses and bacteria thrive in buildings and circulate through indoor ventilation systems. Air pollutants do not affect all people the same way. You may be perfectly fine in your home, while your loved one is constantly battling colds, sinus infections or other health issues. The revolutionary Genano unit removes virtually all of the particles in the air, eliminates gases, and kills 99% of the airborne bacteria, mold, viruses and infections without a filter. The HEPA filter ONLY removes air particles to .3 microns and NO bacteria, infections, or viruses The Genano units may be a stand alone or easily inserted into a new or existing HVAC system for small or very large buildings. These are not “room” air purifiers, they are commercial quality, made of steel, units for buildings or homes – the whole building or house.
