First Step To Protect Your Family From Colds and Flu Right Now

(PRWEB) October 11, 2006 -- It’s that time of year again. Expect a 30% rise in absenteeism and a 40% reduction in productivity in schools and at work. There is one simple step everyone can take right now, according to environmental consultant Bruce Bley, founder of BCB Associates, to protect family and workers from getting slammed by colds and flu this season.

The average human breathes 23,000 times every day and pulls 435 cu ft of air into their lungs. We are also constantly in contact with indoor surfaces at home and at work. These are the two major sources for contacting a cold or the flu; the air we breathe and the things we touch. Doesn’t it make more sense to take steps to avoid getting colds and flu so we do not have to treat the symptoms later?

According to environmental consultant Bruce Bley we are spending almost 90% of our time indoors. Unfortunately, the individuals who are most at-risk during cold and flu season often spend the most time indoors; infants, the elderly, those with heart and lung disease, people with asthma and those afflicted with a compromised immune system or severe respiratory distress syndrome (SARS). Microorganisms, pathogens and bacteria don’t have to be contained in the droplets of a sneeze to infect you. They adhere to any sort of particle floating in the air, to be inhaled or they can be transferred by touching a contaminated surface and then transmitted through the sinuses. Infectious diseases can be spread quickly in an enclosed environment. So, how can we kill these bad actors?

There is an affordable solution according to Bley. Install an air purifier as a first step; not a tower fan or tabletop fan filter, not electrostatic precipitators that require frequent cleaning, not a UV probe in the duct, not expensive HEPA filters, either stand alone or installed in your ductwork by your HVAC service, requiring periodic replacement. Bley says that a free-standing system is commercially available now that treats the air throughout an entire house and the air does not have to pass through the unit. This is the same proven technology used in the U.S. space program to clean the air inside space capsules and is currently being used to treat the air in several government facilities.

Bruce states that this proprietary design cleans the air and removes 99.9% of germs and mold on surfaces indoors using the same processes that are produced by Nature outdoors to remove pollutants. Floating particles are removed by ionization. UV light is used to generate oxygen peroxides from a unique catalyst honeycomb and microorganisms are oxidized in the process. The process is completely safe and is virtually self regulating. No other technology available today can treat the air in an entire house up to 3,000 sq ft in area from a single stand alone purifier.

More and more people are becoming aware of the dangers of indoor air contamination and its effects on family health. As a result, it is not surprising that there are many cheap imitations that various marketing companies are beginning to offer in special deals. Price should be a consideration, but make sure you are comparing apples-to-apples. Never buy a purifier based upon price alone. Your family’s health should be worth more than saving a nickel here. You should consider this an investment, not a purchase. Remember; if you don’t effectively purify the air in your home, your family’s lungs are the air cleaner.

Bley suggests getting answers to the following questions from a knowledgable sales rep (not from a store salesman or website) before you make your decision:

1.    What is the effective coverage area in sq. ft.? Does this include multiple rooms and floors?
2.    What pollutants will the system remove/reduce? How effectively?
3.    What components need to be cleaned and how frequently?
4.    What components need to be replaced? How much? How frequent?
5.    How long has company been in business of manufacturing air purifiers?
6.    What is main business of company? Air purifiers or something else?
7.    How many machines are in operation?
8.    Where are machines made? Who makes them? Who controls design and quality of manufacture?
9.    What are warranty terms?
10.    Can you have a money-back Trial of machine in your home to see how effective it is?
11.    What kind of “real” third-party scientific research, certifications and endorsements are available?

Get answers to these questions and make an informed decision. And, consider this an investment in your family’s health; not a purchase. Invest in technology that will give effective, reliable service for many years to come.
