Smoke
The best method to reduce risk is to eliminate the source, but in many instances this is impractical or impossible to do. Because smoke particles are so small, even the best pleated filters cannot trap them effectively. To be effectively contained, smoke particles need to be charged and then attracted to a collection surface and held. The technology contained in every Breathe EZ Air Cleaner has been proven in numerous tests to do this very effectively. Protect your family by having your contractor install one today.
Second hand cigarette smoke hospitalizes thousands of people each year, causing asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia and even lung cancer. Children are most adversely affected via the soft tissue in their developing lungs.
Pleated filters, even really expensive ones can’t effectively filter most types of smoke because they are not effective on particles smaller than .3 microns in size. Most smoke particulate is very small (eg. carbon dust .2, cooking oil .03, burning wood .2 coal flue gas .08, oil smoke .03 and tobacco smoke .09)
The Breathe EZ Air Cleaner polarized filters capture smoke particles by charging them, which causes them to be attracted to the collection surfaces of the filter, where they remain trapped. A commercial version of our technology is used in virtually every casino in North America specifically to reduce smoke particulate.
For fresher smelling air and reduced health risk for smokers & non-smokers alike, the Breathe EZ Air Cleaner is the right choice.
