Indoor Air Quality Concerns

• In recent years, comparative risk studies
  performed by EPAs headquarters and regional
  offices have consistently ranked indoor air
  pollution among the top five environmental risks
  to peoples health. Thus, for many people, the
  risks to health may be greater due to exposure to
  air pollution indoors than outdoors.

Indoor Air Pollutants

• The Centers for Disease Control categorizes
  pollutants as
• 1. Particulates aka allergens - in the 2.5 ()
  micron range consist of
• inorganic pollutants such as dust mite
  feces, dead human skin
• cells, animal dander, airborne mold spores,
  pollen, ragweed and others.
• They are most likely to be filtered by the
  hair in the nose or throat.
• 2. Bioaerosols aka respirable size particles -
  in the
• 0.022 to 2.5 micron range, they are most
  likely
• to be inhaled and deposited in the alveoli of
  the
• lungs. They consist of viruses, bacteria,
  mold spores
• and environmental cigarette smoke and are
  considered
• more toxic.
• 3. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) organic
• chemicals which are not associated with
  particles.
• They are emitted by a wide range of products
  such as

• The Goal?
• To create a healthier
• Indoor environment
• with a reduction of
• occupant exposures
• to pollutants and a
• corresponding
• decrease in human
• health risks.

6

• The Dilemma?
• What is available to reduce all the three
  categories of pollutants?
• It is well known and recognized that air filters
  are designed to screen particulates from the air
  stream. However, typical residential air filters
  do not adequately provide solutions for the other
  two categories.
• Photocatalytic oxidation provides one of the
  most viable solutions to the problem of indoor
  air contamination by bioaerosols and volatile
  organic chemicals .

7
The Technology

• Photocatalytic technology involves
• shining ultraviolet light on a surface
• coated with titanium dioxide.
• 
  
• This produces a molecular reaction, which
  attacks molecules of volatile organic chemicals
  in the air, including those which cause odors.
  These are broken down into simple, harmless
  substances, water and carbon dioxide. This
  reaction also kills and decomposes bacteria,
  viruses and mold spores.
• Simply put, in PCO using ultraviolet light, the
  pollutants are destroyed in a three-step process
  
• The pollutant adheres to the surface of the
  catalyst (grid).
• 2. The pollutant and catalyst are then exposed to
  the photons of UV light.
• The light energy activates the catalyst, which
  break down pollutants into nontoxic products.

8
Advantages of PCO

• High destruction efficiencies at room
  temperatures
• No chemical additives
• No residual ozone
• High oxidation yields for gas phase reactant and
  odors
• Low energy requirements
• Complete oxidation of organics to CO2 and H2O
• Applies to a large number of organics
• Works in humid conditions
• Negligible pressure drop in duct system
• Low system cost

9
Technology Recognition

• The benefits for a closed environment such as a
  nuclear submarine are obvious the system is
  cheap, low-powered, lightweight, easily
  maintained and has few or no consumable
  components which require changing (Navy News)
• Photo-catalysis is a promising technology that
  uses UV light to drive oxidation and reduction
  reactions on catalyst surfaces. These reactions
  convert to water and carbon dioxide. (U.S.
  Environmental Protection Agency)
• Photocatalytic oxidation is a low-temperature,
  destructive process that uses ultraviolet light
  and a titanium dioxide semiconductor
  photocatalyst to generate highly reactive species
  for destruction of organic molecules.
  (Environmental Security Technology Certification
  Program)
• Photocatalysis has been used successfully for
  the disinfection and
  decontamination of water, wastewater, and gas
  streams. (Electric Power Research Institute)
• The FDA classifies PCO air purifier technology as
  Class
• II Medical Device approving its use in
  healthcare facilities.

Introducing

• The AirGorilla

UV/PCO N-Duct Air Cleaner Technology so powerful
it is used aboard nuclear submarines to clean the
air.
11
The AirGorilla Grid

• The patent pending photocatalyst is a fibrous,
  3-dimensional, compressed metal-foam material
  coated with a nano-technology titanium dioxide
  (Ti02).
• This combination provides over
• 20 times the reactive surface area
• of typical PCO catalyst and provides
• greater destruction of pollutants.
• PCO is a contact technology
• airborne pollutants that contact
  
  
• the 187 square-inch Ti02 grid are destroyed.
• No maintenance required. The grid is self
• cleaning and self- renewing. It never needs
  replacing.
• Provides maximum efficiency with negligible
• resistance to airflow.

The AirGorilla Lamps

• Powerful - Two 36 watt Dual Radiant 16 lamps
  provides 5 times the destructive power of a
  typical 14 UV lamp.

17
The Competition

• Ultra Violet Light
• Constant exposure in the coil and drip pan area
  is very effective in controlling fungal growth.
  However, many factors can alter the effectiveness
  of UV in the air stream. Some of which are
• Exposure time (the air velocity and intensity of
  the lamp must be coordinated in order to allow
  adequate exposure time).
• Power level drops off considerably in very short
  distances drastically reducing effectiveness.
• Moisture.
• Particles.
• Dust on lamps.
• Maintenance is necessary.
• UV, without ozone, is of no
• value in reducing volatile
• organic chemicals and their odors.

18
Air Cleaners That Generate Ozone
The Competition (continued)

• Independent research on ozone has shown that at
  concentrations below public health standards, the
  effectiveness of ozone to control indoor air
  pollutants is limited. (The North Carolina
  Department of Health and Human Services Ozone)
• Some manufacturers use misleading terms to
  disguise ozone. Terms such as energized,
  trivalent, allotropic, super, saturated or
  activated oxygen and oxygen singlets are used to
  disguise ozone. Others use names such as pure
  air and mountain fresh air to suggest that ozone
  is a healthy kind of oxygen.
• HEPA Air Cleaners
• HEPA air cleaners can trap 99.9 of particles 0.3
  microns or larger. Maintenance is minimal as the
  filter can last for extended periods of time.
• HEPAs do not reduce volatile organic compounds,
  gases, or odors.

19
Carbon Media Air Cleaners
The Competition (continued)

• Carbon media air cleaners consist of a system of
  micro pores that are tiny in size. Activated
  carbon media are highly adsorbent and very
  effective in reducing organic chemicals, gaseous
  pollutants, smoke and odors.
• Required maintenance and cost of replacement
  media can be very expensive.
• Ionic Air Cleaners
• Ionic Air Cleaners generate positive ions that
  unite with negative ions that are suspended in
  the air. Several Ionic Cleaners can expose users
  to potentially harmful ozone levels.
• An ion is any atom that has a positive or a
  negative charge. A positively charged ion will
  seek a negatively charged one to unite with, have
  a glorious coupling and then turn into something
  totally new and available.
• Particulates settle on to furniture, drapes and
  flooring.
