The Air Supply 150mm vs. 500B
Air Supply 150mm Air Flow 100 Ft./Min
· Internal ion flow: 120 trillion ions/sec
· Ozone output: less than .028 ppm
Supply 500B. This unit is not as light as the 150mm and put out less of a flow.
Disclaimer:
The Maximum level of ozone permitted by OSHA is 100 parts per billion. The Air Supply therefore is well below this level. Also, Please note that the Air Supply 500B & 150mm are not medical devices and if you are under care of a physician should not stop your physician's treatment or recommendations for any respiratory problems. If you use a pacemaker, please consult your physician before using the Air Supply. Also, those who are sensitive to low levels of ozone should not use the Air Supply.
How are different airborne contaminants treated by Air Supply?
Virus and Bacterial Germs: ------- Incinerated by the corona discharge
Odors: ------------------------------ Oxidized into deodorized compounds
Chemical Contaminants ----------- Oxidized into benign chemicals
Dust and Dust Mites--------------- Carbonized and vaporized by incineration
Mold -------------------------------- Carbonized and vaporized by incineration
Second Hand Smoke --------------- Solids are carbonized and gasses are oxidized
How does Air Supply differ from a HEPA filter?
HEPA filtration devices capture particles (down to 0.3 micron in size), and the filters need to be replaced. Air Supply is a cold incineration device which actually destroys the airborne contaminants. Different contaminants are neutralized and destroyed in different manners, depending on their chemical properties. Air Supply is not a filtration device, and no parts need to be replaced or serviced.
In what other devices has corona discharge technology been used?
Corona discharge technology has been used by the military, to destroy toxic biological and nerve agents in the field and in laboratories, and in industry manufacturing "clean rooms" for years. The same technological principles have only recently been miniaturized to allow for personal, portable use.
Is The Air Supply an ionizer?
No. Air Supply is a corona discharge device. An ionizer uses electrostatic precipitation to negatively charge particles. Although a corona discharge device has an ionization effect internally, it uses an electronic plasma incineration, similar to a lightning strike, to destroy airborne contaminants. Corona discharge is able to destroy many more airborne contaminants than traditional ionization. The negative ions which are generated internally are neutralized by the neutral grid of the Air Supply before the purified air is emitted to the users face.
Is Air Supply an ozone generator?
Although the Air Supply does emit low levels of ozone, it is not classified as an Ozone Generator.
Is the level of ozone output safe?
Yes. OSHA guidelines define permissible ozone exposure limits at 0.10 parts per million (100 parts per billion). Air Supply emits between 0.02 and 0.04 parts of ozone per million (20-40 parts per billion). This is approximately, 20 to 40% of the maximum allowed.
Is there a tiny fan inside? I feel a slight breeze of air coming from my unit.
No, there is not a fan. Air Supply's negative corona discharge sets up a powerful, electrodynamically driven airflow, drawing pollutants into it and ejecting purified air at a velocity of over 75 feet per minute.
How long will a 9-volt battery last in the Air Supply unit?
The Air Supply is very power efficient. A 9-volt battery can allow the unit to operate continuously for 40 hours or more.
How should Air Supply be cleaned?
Once a week, blow into the screen to eliminate any carbonized accumulation on the emitter or the screen. Also, wipe the grill screen clean. There are no user serviceable parts inside the Air Supply.
Why Should I Purchase an Air Supply?
The Air Supply is the only wearable air purifier on the market. Literally thousands of users have dramatically benefited from using the Air Supply. Whether you have allergies, asthma, chemical sensitivities, emphysema, or other respiratory problems, the Air Supply will help you to breathe easier.
If you are not satisfied with your purchase of the Air Supply, we will happily refund your purchase price. You have nothing to lose, but have everything to gain.
Microscopic Pathogens and Your Health
Microbes, - a brief explanation
Microbes, tiny one cell organisms, generally fall into five main groups and in order of size are:
1. Algae
2. Protozoa
3. Fungi
4. Bacteria
5. Virus
Most are invisible to humans. Fully 90% of the living matter on this planet are microbes. Some are extremely dangerous to humans and are called pathogens. They all need moisture in some form to function and survive. Some microbes (germs) also reproduce at an incredible rate with proper food and warmth. As an example, common E-Coli bacteria, if sufficient food were available, could produce a mass of bacteria greater than the mass of the earth in less than a week.
Few people realize that just using the restroom can unleash an explosion of pathogenic microbes, including fecal clostridium, streptococcus and E-Coli bacteria. Besides washing your hands carefully, you need some form of microbe personal protection. Many of these creatures that we breathe, eat or touch can result in serious life threatening infection. The Air Supply was created as a personal weapon against many of these organisms. Extensive testing by leading scientists and physicians have proven that it is effective. Airplane passengers seated in 'aisle one', for example, can spread tuberculosis germs throughout the aircraft according to a study done by the Harvard School of Public Health.
How Can Microbes be Killed?
Outdoors, microbial dangers are minimized because of air flows lowering concentrations of germs and because ultraviolet light from sunlight effectively destroys many of these organisms. Except for someone nearby sneezing or stagnant outdoor moist conditions, microbial infections are minimized during daylight hours. Dry conditions and high ambient outdoor ozone from sunlight and lightning also effectively kills many different microbes.
What can we do further to help keep ourselves as germ free as possible? The answer is "Air Supply". The Air Supply kills microbes by a process known as molecular impact decomposition. The way it works is by drawing polluted air into the inlet parts, sending the microbes through a high voltage plasma arc of trillions of electrons, and ejecting clean, purified air back to the user.
In studies done at the UCLA School of Microbiology, over 95% destruction was confirmed on various microbes with the use of the Air Supply. Ongoing studies indicate that the Air Supply can offer the wearer good pathogen and airborne toxic chemical protection in many polluted environments.
Operation of Air Supply
A small amount of ozone is emitted in the purified airflow that is also used as an effective germ killer and it works against many bacteria and viruses and also destroys many harmful chemicals. However, Air Supply is not an ozone device.
The ozone is heavier than air and so will sink to the ground away from the user after it has done its job in killing germs. In the process of killing germs and purifying the air from harmful chemicals and gases, ozone reverts to oxygen which our body normally uses. You should keep the Air Supply at least six inches away from your mouth and use as directed. Use the Air Supply only when your air is challenged by people coughing or sneezing, or when in confined quarters with poor air circulation or quality of breathable air.
What is Corona Discharge Technology?
Purified air streams are created using low energy ionized plasma. This self driven electrostatically induced airflow causes air to be drawn into a corona discharge chamber where chemical and biological pollutants are bombarded and destroyed by a process called electron impact decomposition. Plasma streams of electrons, rip apart the molecular structure of the pollutant .
Basically a controlled thunderstorm of electrical energy renders the toxic particles benign. We believe that Air Supply and Sani-Mate technologies will be instrumental in protecting people from ever deadlier drug and chemically resistant germs in the 21st century and beyond. The Sani-Lyser Initial testing at the School of Microbiology at UCLA showed that foodborne pathogens could also be controlled using the self-propelled corona discharge.
Extensive investigation in Aerobiological research at Penn State and many other universities confirmed the basic principle of ozonation as an effective pathogen controller. Indeed, EPRI in Palo Alto Calif., a research institute funded by the power companies have convinced the FDA and USDA that ozonation was effective in destroying foodborne pathogens.
The FDA has denoted proper use of ozonation as generally recognized as safe or GRAS to the procedure. The USDA publication Agricultural Outlook in June-July/1998 and gave the process high marks for safety and efficacy. The Institute of Food Technologists also in their June/97 issue of Food Technology said the following: "An expert panel has declared that ozone....one of the most effective disinfectants but one not previously approved for use in food processing in the U.S. is generally recognized as safe"
