The putrid odor we commonly associate with urine is actually ammonia vapor and other gaseous waste by-products of bacteria feeding on animal proteins present in the urine. In large quantities, the ammonia vapors from pet urine can become so strong that cleanup crews must wear a portable breathing apparatus just to breathe. In a normal house, it never gets that bad but it certainly is not healthy. Particularly for children, the elderly, and people with breathing problems like asthma. Pet Urine odor can be a health hazard?
Yes. Ammonia from tobacco smoke, cleaning products, pet litter boxes, bed wetting, etc. can cause eye and skin irritation, headaches, nose bleeding, and sinus problems. Can't I just buy a cheap unit from WalMart?
No. It is important to buy an air cleaner with the capacity to trap both particles and gases and odors. So many people are disappointed when they bring home an off the shelf unit that is only effective for particles and find that it doesn't change anything. Are VOC's a new problem?
No, but as our homes have become more thoroughly insulated, it's become difficult to ensure good indoor air quality. Today even the most well kept homes and offices contain airborne particles and VOCs (volatile organic compounds). VOC's are produced by many common household products and even stored products still emit VOC's. Common products that contain VOC's: - Aerosol sprays
- Cleaning products
- Air fresheners
- Art and hobby supplies
- Stored fuels and automotive products
- Dry-cleaned clothing
How does the Air Tube Jr. Combat VOC's ?
The Air Tube Jr. contains 4 lbs. of specially activated carbon, which is impregnated with catalysts to react with pollutants and remove them from the air. Who is purchasing the Air Tube Jr.?
The EPA, The National Jewish hospital of Colorado, The Mayo clinic, Xerox, Verizon, Texas Tech University and many thousands of home owners, industrial clients, institutions and office buildings etc.
