Indoor Air: High Concentrations of

Biological Contaminants

With tighter building construction in recent years, the quality of indoor air has declined dramatically.

The air circulating in the ductwork of the average home or office can be concentrated with contaminants including molds, bacteria, viruses, and dust mites.

We fill our lungs up to 20,000 times each day. Over time, these contaminants can cause inflammation of the mucous membranes, upper respiratory problems, asthmatic conditions, headaches, and flu-like symptoms.

Filtering systems offer little or no help because these airborne contaminants either pass through the filter or simply collect on the filter medium, creating a breeding ground. Now, with the UV-Aire®Air Purifying System, a solution is available to directly address the problems associated with poor indoor air quality.

The Sun: Nature’s Outdoor Air Purifier

Fungus Mold

Bacteria Dust Mites

EL-1 Eliminator®

Foundation Vent Fan

For years, scientists have known that one of the most effective air purifiers is natural sunlight. Not the light we see when we look out the window, but the invisible “C” band, ultraviolet rays that make up part of the sun’s light spectrum. The sun’s UV-C rays act as a natural outdoor air purification system, inhibiting the growth and reproduction of bacteria, viruses, fungi, molds, and dust mites. However, this natural process does not occur indoors. Ultraviolet radiation (UV-C) replicates the natural outdoor purification system of the sun by destroying the illness and disease-causing microbes living and multiplying in indoor air. In combination with a quality filter, it is the most effective way to reduce airborne contaminants and the health risks they represent.

Eliminate Moisture Problems

Excessive moisture under a house can contribute to air pollution inside the

house. The Eliminator® Foundation Vent Fan is a motorized fan designed for circulating outside air through the crawl space of a structure to reduce moisture and moisture-related problems. In addition to dry rot, fungus growth and increasing termite potential, excessive moisture can generate mold. Mold and mold spores can infiltrate the living space as well as the HVAC system, causing problems for the inhabitants.

With the Eliminator, air changes are increased dramatically for better moisture removal and control. The EL-1 is designed to be mounted to a crawl space vent. It operates off a temperature switch which activates the motor at or above 50°F. An optional, adjustable de-humidistat can be used to activate the unit at varying levels of relative humidity. This optional control can be wired in place of, or in series with, the standard temperature switch.
