Title: Taking the risk out of living indoors!!!


1
Taking the risk out of living indoors!!!
  • Presented to you by
  • Master Coordinators
  • Reed Linda Hanson
  • Todd Susan Hanson

2
Take a deep breath
This may be the last time you do it without
thinking about what's in the air youre breathing.
3
Whats the big deal?
Indoor Air Quality is the 1 Health concern In
America according to the EPA.
Sources of Indoor Air Polluters
  • Pets
  • Moisture
  • Pressed Wood Furniture
  • Humidifier
  • Moth Repellents
  • Dry-cleaned clothing
  • Air fresheners
  • Car exhaust
  • Paint supplies
  • Paneling and carpet
  • Vacuum cleaners
  • Cooking odors
  • Fireplace or woodstove
  • Tobacco smoke
  • Drapes
  • Household Cleaners
  • Asbestos tiles
  • Pressed wood cabinets
  • Pesticides
  • Lead-based paint
  • Dirty furnace filters
  • Outdoor pollutants

4
Of chemicals commonly found in homes, 150
have been linked to allergies, cancer, birth
defects, and psychological abnormalities.
Indoor air pollution is now Americas 1
environmental health problem
5
Indoor air pollution is one of the most
important environmental health problems.
Most homes have airborne concentrations of
hazardous and toxic chemicals that are 2 to 5
times higher indoors than outdoors. Some have
levels 70 times higher inside the home than
outside!
6
  • A 15-year study found that women who worked at
    home had a 54 higher rate of cancer.
  • Its alarming that indoor air is so full of
    chemical vapors, because most children spend 12
    to 20 hours a day there.

7
Indoor air, including the air in your home, can
be even more polluted than the air of a big city.
A 1999 Mayo Clinic study found that nearly 37
million Americans have chronic sinus problems
because of mold.
8
Challenges of indoor air quality.
  • Indoor air pollution is 2-5 time higher than
    outdoor air.
  • People spend 90 of their time inside.
  • The 1 cause of school absences in America is
    Asthma.
  • Particulate, Gases, and Microbial levels are
    rising
  • No single technology works on all 3 problem areas.

9
Three Types of Pollutants
  • Particulate
  • Dust
  • Dander
  • Pollen

Summer dust bunny from under a bed, composed of
cloth fibers, moth wing scales, human and cat
hairs, and sunflower pollen.
If it's in your ducts
Its in your lungs.
10
Three Types of Pollutants
  • Gases
  • Volatile Organic Compounds
  • Carbon Monoxide
  • Odors

Volatile Organic Compounds are chemical compounds
that easily evaporate (volatile). Formaldehyde is
probably the most common VOC found in homes.
Other common V.O.C.'s Gasoline, benzene,
alcohol, toluene, Xylene, turpentine, cleaning
chemicals. V.O.C.'s can be found in building
materials and home products, such as Paint,
solvents, caulking, tobacco smoke, construction
adhesives, particle board shelving kitchen
cabinets, laminated wood veneer furniture, wall
paper, particle board sub flooring,
interior-grade plywood, urea-formaldehyde foam
insulation, dyes, inks, medicines, new carpet out
gassing, carpet padding, carpet adhesives, hair
products, paper products, cleaning products, etc.
Medical journals have documented the negative
effects of VOC exposure to include dizziness,
nausea, fatigue, reduced limb strength,
headaches, eye, nose, throat irritation,
breathing difficulties, shortness of breath,
excessive phlegm, dermatitis, chest pain,
wheezing, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. Formaldehyde
and other V.O.C.'s have been linked to cancer in
animal studies.
11
Three Types of Pollutants
  • Microbials
  • Bacteria
  • Viruses
  • Molds

12
Mold Sources
13
Mold in your home
Molds hide where we cant always see them.
14
We are not immune
  • Mold in Middleton
  • Freeman was getting sick and didn't know why. He
    got weak, had to take two or three naps daily,
    and developed muscle tremors and skin rashes. His
    wife Cyndi had similar but less severe symptoms.
  • "We had no energy. We were just beat all the
    time," he said.
  • Doctors first suspected Freeman was afflicted by
    early Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or ALS -- Lou
    Gherig's disease.
  • Finally an allergist told Freeman he was highly
    allergic to black mold, and a test confirmed huge
    numbers of spores in the house were from the
    toxic molds Aspergilla and Cladosporium.
  • Mold was forming where a toilet and dishwasher
    had leaked into the flooring. A dryer and oven
    were vented into the crawl space, adding
    moisture.
  • While Freeman had repairs made, the couple lived
    in their camper for two months.
  • The cost for remediation more than 20,000.

15
Insurers Worry About Toxic Mold Claims
Insurance companies thought the asbestos problem
was enormous, and this is going to make that look
small.
16
Do you know who you are sleeping with?
If your pillow is 10 years old, 10 of the
weight could be dust mites and their feces.

Sick Buildings Make People Sick
  • Long-term health effects from repeated exposure
    to polluted air include some respiratory
    diseases, heart disease, and
    cancer.

It is prudent to improve indoor air quality
in your home even when symptoms
are not noticeable.
19
What is the solution?
  • Multiple technologies that address all 3 of the
    pollution problem areas.
  • Quiet and easy to operate.
  • Energy efficient and very low maintenance.
  • Cost effective
  • The best you can get for truly clean air.

20
The best source for truly clean air!
21
How It Works.
  • Photo-Hydro-Ionization
  • Photo-hydro-ionization occurs when light energy
    from the ultraviolet (UV) lamp reacts with the
    tri-metallic catalyst. This reaction creates
    super oxide ions and hydro-peroxide radicals.
    These ions and radicals, together with moisture
    and ozone in the air create an anti-microbial and
    anti-bacteriostatic environment resulting in
    reduced odors and microbials in the air.
  • P.I. Is effective against
  • Odors, Carbon Monoxide, and Volatile Organic
    Compounds.
  • Micro-Organisms, Bacteria, Viruses Molds
  • Electron Generation
  • The electron generator in the unit emits
    electrons into the surrounding air, reducing the
    static charge inside rooms and neutralizing
    positively charged particles.
  • The neutrally charged particles agglomerate and
    become heavier particles. Gravity is now able to
    pull the particles to the ground.
  • E.G. is effective against
  • Sub-micron Particles dust
  • Airborne Microorganisms

22
How It Works.
AirSource actively sends out an army to purify
the air we breath.
Filters can only work on the air that passes
through them.

Testimonials
  • Dear Amber, Thank you for letting me try your
    AirSource last week - I'm just thrilled! My son,
    Brandon who has had a runny nose since he was
    born 3 years ago, hasn't even sniffed in the past
    5 days! My 7-month old baby is sleeping better at
    night - as is my husband and 5 year old! But the
    person who has seen the biggest change is me...I
    was diagnosed with severe, sudden asphycsic
    asthma - the worst kind - when I was 7 years old
    and have battled with tough breathing for the
    past 18 years. I've been on every drug available
    from inhalers to steroids but nothing has worked.
    I am attached to my nebulizer constantly. I cant
    laugh too hard or bag my own groceries. Until
    now.
  • My asthma has significantly improved over the
    past week since I've been running my AirSource -
    my whole family is in awe! I'm off the steroids
    and haven't used my nebulizer for a week now. I'm
    using my inhaler about half as often as usual -
    even my chronic headaches are gone! I can't thank
    you enough for sharing AirSource with me - It has
    changed my life in ways Ive only dreamt about.

PROBLEM
Life's journeysboth near and farremove us from
the safety of our homes where the AirSource 3000
can purify the air. Whether in our car, RV,
hotel room or office cube, the loss of control
over our indoor environment and the people with
whom we come in contact exposes us to the threat
of indoor air pollution with every breath.

opportunities.
  • If this works half as good as we say it does.
    There is a huge opportunity to make some money.

34
How much money would make a significant
difference in your life?
  • Extra money
  • 200 500 a month sound exciting?
  • Supplemental income
  • 1000 2000 in additional income be nice?
  • Replacement income
  • 5000 How much do you need to quit your
    current job and work for yourself
