Allergies
and Asthma
Millions
of people suffer from Asthma and/or Respiratory Allergies and allergies
to animals and animal related astha are increasing.
People who
work with animals are at increased risk of developing a chronic allergy.
Those who work in research establishments are particularly susceptible
to Laboratory Animal Allergy (ALL).
The prevelance
of asthma has nearly doubled in the last 20 years. Contaminants in the
air such as allergens and micro-organisms from dogs, cats or rodents
can trigger an asthma attack.
The AiroCide™
removes and destroys these triggers.
Pet allergend
can cause serious discomfort to some people. The AiroCide™
will remove them from the air and break them down to harmless gases.
Animals
are often associated with bad smells. These smells are caused by Volatile
Organic Compounds (VOCs) given off by the animals and their waste. VOCs
are everywhere, and not all are as harmless as bad smells.
Other Volatile
Organic Compounds (VOCs) can cause illness and respiratory irritation.
There are numerous sources of VOCs including household products such
as paints, paint strippers, and other solvents; aerosol sprays; cleansers
and disinfectants; air fresheners; stored fuels and dry-cleaned clothing.
Symptoms
of VOC exposure include eye, nose and throat irritation; headaches,
loss of coordination, nausea; damage to lover, kidney and central nervous
system. Some organics can cause cancer in animals; some are suspected
or known to cause cancer in humans.
The AiroCide™
removes most VOCs from the air; increasing air quality, removing smells
and reducing illness.
