Been enjoying this exchange on my Blackberry between airports
I have to side on Breatheasy's side on the marketing issue. If you are going to claim that your product improves a persons health you have to register it with the FDA for a 5-10 (K). I do know that they have registered some roll around air purification devices for this.
I also know a few weeks back that one of my helpers dropped a 10 ton air handler on my foot. It hurt something fierce. And when he remove the unit the pain went away. Now did that improve my health by removing what was causing the pain? heck yes, my blood pressure went down my foot was soar but the pain was a lot less intense. Now was their a clinical board of doctors there to prove that. NO but the pain and discomfort is gone.
You take an immune compromised person or a chemically sensitive person and put the one biologic or VOC in the environment that shows them discomfort and see what happens to them. Then remove it and watch the pain go away. Its word games and politics. If the powers that be admit that mold ,mycotoxin, endotoxins and certain VOCs are harmful to your health imagine the repercussions with the insurance agencies and the financial implications.
I can show you undeniable proof that MRSA, Staphylococcus aureus, different strains of aspergillus are airborne and making people sick and killing people in hospitals.
I can show you how detrimental ASHRAE 62.2 is for indoor air quality in residential and commercial settings.
UVGI light has its place in IAQ but its not very efficient in an airstream with out very high levels of micro wattage. And still you have the phenomena called DNA repair, the biologic can and will repair itself after a period of time. That's why it has to be totally oxidized in a single pass. That is where PCO comes in. And a PCO has to have its energy source, uv light.
