Cleaning Indoor Air using AtmosAir Bi-Polar Ionization Technology

چکیده
Outdoor Air Quality OAQ): The federal government has made great progress towards cleaning outdoor air since 1970 via the Clean Air Act (CAA) and its additional amendments signed into law in 1990. This Act resulted in a significant 70% reduction of aggregate emissions of six representative indicators of common pollutants between the years of 1970 to 2014! Thusly, the CAA laws define the EPA’s responsibilities for protecting and improving the nation’s outdoor air quality utilizing the advances in science and technology to accomplish this task (1). These outdoor air quality improvements have enabled many areas of the country to meet national air quality standards set to protect public health and the environment. To simply summarize: for more than 40 years the CAA has significantly cut outside air pollution even as the U.S. economy has grown. Because of the act, Americans breathe less outdoor air pollution and face lower premature death and other adverse health effects (1).

Kinetic analysis of competition between aerosol particle removal and generation by ionization air purifiers.
Ionization air purifiers are increasingly used to remove aerosol particles from indoor air. However, certain ionization air purifiers also emit ozone. Reactions between the emitted ozone and unsaturated volatile organic compounds (VOC) commonly found in indoor air produce additional respirable aerosol particles in the ultrafine (<0.1 microm) and fine (<2.5 microm) size domains. A simple kinetic...

متن کاملIndoor residence times of semivolatile organic compounds: model estimation and field evaluation.
Indoor residence times of semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) are a major and mostly unavailable input for residential exposure assessment. We calculated residence times for a suite of SVOCs using a fugacity model applied to residential environments. Residence times depend on both the mass distribution of the compound between the "mobile phase" (air and dust particles settled on the carpet) ...
متن کاملMEASUREMENT AND SIMULATION OF THE INDOOR AIR QUALITY IMPACT OF GASEOUS AIR CLEANERS IN A TEST HOUSE By
Residential and commercial gaseous air cleaning technologies have not gained wide acceptance in the marketplace, in part due to the lack of performance data from field tests or simulation studies. This paper describes a field study of the performance of two gaseous air cleaners in a single room test house and simulations based on these tests with an indoor air quality model (CONTAMW). Air clean...
