We've said it before but it bears repeating "If you could see what you are breathing in your air, it would scare you to death!" First, some FACTS FROM THE American Lung Association Health House® Program, March 2003 • Less than 20 percent of Americans believe that the air inside their homes is more polluted than the air outdoors. However, the Environmental Protection Agency states that levels of air pollution inside the home can be two to five times higher - and occasionally up to 100 times higher - than outdoor levels. • More than 70 percent of Americans have forced air heating and/or central air in their homes. Yet nearly 50 percent do not change the filter in their heating/air conditioning unit every 2 to 3 months as recommended. And 10 percent have never replaced the filter in their heating/air conditioning unit. • Only about 11 percent of Americans purchase high efficiency furnace filters, despite the fact that high efficiency filters can be more effective than standard fiberglass filters in capturing pollen, pet dander, smoke and other potentially harmful micro particles. • Nearly 75 percent of Americans live with someone who has allergies, asthma, emphysema or another respiratory illness. • Indoor air pollution consists of gases, biological contaminants, radon and particulates that can impair your health. • Many groups are especially susceptible to the health effects of indoor pollutants. These include infants; the very young; pregnant women; the elderly; and those with allergies, asthma and other respiratory ailments. Combining innovative filtration and photocatalytic oxidation, the Lennox PureAir™ system attacks odors and chemical vapors throughout the home. Although the words "photocatalytic oxidation" is not a household word, it is not a new process as it is similar to the process used by the Department of Defense to combat germ warfare. What is new is the availability for residential use. Combining nature's most powerful air purifiers (ultraviolet light, titanium dioxide catalyst, and hydroxyl radicals) the Lennox PureAir™ system is an optimal air quality solution for central heating and cooling systems. This
Lennox Industry exclusive air purification technology
is the only single system to attack all three classes of indoor
contaminants: And every day, every member of your family takes between 25,000 to 30,000 breaths …containing millions of particles of dust, pollen, mildew, animal dander, lint, fungus, smoke and bacteria. Like Jaguars, Lincolns and Cadillacs, the new PureAir™ Purification System is not for everyone, even though the PureAir ™ Purification Systems can clean the air in your home better than any other single system you can buy. It's something you have to decide. The reason we said it is not for everyone, is that it is not inexpensive but neither is a Jaguar, Lincoln or a Cadillac. For more information on
