Because of increasing energy costs, Americans today are sealing their homes and buildings with better windows, insulation, and moldings.
When homes and other buildings are sealed, contaminants can build up, such as mold. As air passes through the home, the mold – along with chemicals given off by paints, cleaners, glues, particle board furniture, pesticides, and of course, cigarette smoke – is picked up and circulated throughout the structure without ever being “cleaned.”
According to the World Health Organization, 40% of all buildings are a serious hazard to our health because of their polluted air.
Most people tend to think that dander or pollen are the only culprits. Did you know that allergies may stem from allergies to molds, VOCs, particles in smoke or you many simply have a sinus infection caused by bacteria?
Symptoms caused by indoor air pollutants can include:

Term used for the mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets found in the air. Over 99% of particulate matter is invisible to the naked eye and can easily infiltrate the lungs. On average, every cubic foot of untreated indoor air contains 20 million particles. While most air quality products are not intended to combat large particulates, such as dust, they are much more effective at reducing microscopic particulates than a HEPA filter.
Includes three major types of organisms: bacteria, protozoa, and fungi/mold. Most of these contaminants rely on a humid and moist environment for growth & survival. Some molds can produce certain chemicals, such as mycotoxins and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s). Studies conducted at West Texas A&M University confirm that Air Oasis air purifiers are highly reliable at reducing microbes.
Indoor gases, such as benzene, formaldehyde, and hydrogen sulfide, are released from furniture, carpets, hair sprays, cleaning chemicals, insulation, and pesticides. Gases include VOC’s which evaporate into the air easily. Odors are often made up of VOC’s or other gases. Studies conducted at West Texas A&M University confirm that Air Oasis air purifiers are highly reliable at reducing VOCs and odors.
