The Mayo Clinic has found that air cleaners attached to whole-house systems are generally more effective than freestanding air cleaners. An optimal solution for central HVAC systems, the PureAir™ Air Purification System installs easily on the air handler (return air side),* where a filter would typically be placed.

ODORS/CHEMICAL VAPORS IN THE HOME

Dry-cleaned clothes / Perfumes / Hair sprays	Musty smells
Pet odors / Tobacco smoke / Cooking fumes /	Automobile emissions / Paints /
Cleaning supplies / Volatile organic compounds	Solvents / Pesticides / Gases
from new carpeting, upholstery and draperies	Industrial emissions / Outdoor scents

Odors and chemical vapors can come from many different sources inside and outside the home. Once inside the home, these pollutants circulate through the ductwork, entering every room and living space. Using innovative air-purification technology, the PureAir System helps remove the hundreds of odors/chemical vapors that can contaminate your home’s air.

The effects of odors and chemical vapors on your comfort and health depend on the types and concentrations of them within your home, as well as your individual sensitivity. Generally, the more odors and chemical vapors in the home, the more likely you are to suffer an adverse reaction such as dizziness or shortness of breath. This is especially true if you have asthma or some other respiratory ailment.

*One unit should be used in each air handler and model selection should be based on the size of the air handler. PureAir units should NOT be placed in the supply side (after the heater) because the higher temperature may compromise system performance.
