Improving Indoor Air Quality with DFS Technology     

Author: Dr. Roy Speiser

 

Room ozonation has continued to be promoted with the claim that ozone can oxidize airborne gases and particulates to simple carbon dioxide and water vapor.  A review of the literature published in the American Industry Hygiene Association Journal, indicates that ozone is neither a practical or effective means of improving indoor air quality, especially in light of its potentially serious risk to health.  When ozone is inhaled it can cause shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, headaches, nausea, eye and throat irritation.   The EPA has therefore established a maximum ozone health standard.  They have declared that a single hour of exposure to ozone is sufficient to cause negative respiratory effects.

 

A newer air purification technology called DFS, Disinfection Filtration System, uses a HEPA-type filter that is bathed or permeated by an electrical field.  Fungi, molds and bacteria are trapped in the filter and exposed to the energy field with a germicidal effect that inactivates microorganisms in the germ-killing zone. A 7 stage pre-filter removes odors, chemicals and large particulates

 

There are two major advantages of a DFS portable unit over HEPA or HEPA/UltraViolet (UV) units for germ removal.  One advantage is that the DFS technology does not degrade over time like UV lamps.  The other advantage is that there is no “shielding effect” with DFS technology.  With an UltraViolet unit, bacteria and viruses attached to small particles are not be completely exposed to the light and therefore pass through.  This problem is avoided in the DFS system because the filter is completely bathed in energy rather than requiring the particles to pass through a small UV-lit area. 

 

Please contact CWR if you are interested in breathing germ and allergen-free air.   We design air purification systems based upon specific applications whether it be for odors, chemicals, allergens, or microorganism removal.

Pharmaceuticals in Your Drinking Water

Pharmaceuticals in Your Drinking Water

In addition to industrial chemicals, chlorine, and heavy metals, trace levels of heart medication, pain relievers, anti-convulsants and other pharmaceuticals have been detected in water that supplies millions of people across the United States. 

            These contaminants are detrimental to your health.  They will weaken your immune system, interfere with your nervous system, damage your cardiovascular system, and damage your renal system.  Pharmaceuticals such as carbamazepine, an anti-convulsant, may cause drowsiness, headaches, migraines, and motor coordination impairment.  Protecting yourself against these and other harmful contaminants is necessary to maintain a healthy lifestyle.  For more information regarding this issue please go to: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/23503485/ns/health-health_care/t/pharmaceuticals-lurking-us-drinking-water/#.UX56KyvF2jI

 

Please take immediate action and contact CWR Environmental regarding an adequate water filtration system to protect your family.  We will find your local water quality report and provide a free personal consultation because a customized water filtration solution can provide complete protection against the entire range of toxic contaminants.  We look forward to supplying you water filtration equipment that will make you home water clean and safe to drink.

 

Solar Distillation, Are You Prepared?  Author:  Dr. Roy Speiser

Solar water distillers can be included as part of a plan to provide an adequate supply of drinking water in the event of an emergency.  

A typical distiller can produce 6 liters of water per day during the summer and about 3 liters during the winter season.  There are no moving parts so it is reliable and almost maintenance free.  However, due to the requirement to have sun on a regular basis, it should not be your only method of producing potable water.

If you are near a non-potable source of water you should also have other equipment including filtration, chlorination, and ultraviolet so that you have a complete filtration system capable of producing water under any circumstances.  Two models of solar distillers that you might consider as part of your emergency plan include the RainMaker 550 Solar Distiller and the Solatron.
