It is no secret that we are experiencing a common problem that is directly and dramatically affecting our health. One of these problems is AIR POLLUTION. When most people think of air pollution, they are thinking of the “dirty air” outside that is caused by automobiles, factories, and industrial wastes. However, it is the “Indoor Air Pollution” that presents our greatest health hazards, which resulted in the EPA’s recent announcement that “Indoor Air Pollution was the #1 environmental health problem in America !!!”

“Sick Building Syndrome ” has become a term associated with the many health related problems found in office buildings, schools, hospitals, factories, etc. Today, “ Sick Building Syndrome” is costing us $$Billions$$ of dollars in medical expenses. The World Health Organization (WHO) stated in 1992 that 40% of all buildings pose a serious health hazard due to indoor air pollution.

The OPRAH WINFREY SHOW ran a full hour-long segment on the problems and suffering caused to children in schools that were exposed to poor air quality. Also, the NOVA Channel produced a special program entitled “ Sick Building Syndrome” . Then again, the LEEZA Show devoted an entire program to “ Sick School Syndrome”. All these TV Shows pointed out specific symptoms, problems, and the effects we face in our educational, living, and work environment on a daily basis. The situations involving health hazards caused from indoor air pollution are very real, and if we are concerned about the quality of the air we breathe in our living environment, and its affect on our health and that of our family, then it is time to take specific action.

HealthStyles4URx has an answer to many of these problems ~ in effect, a “Solution to Air Pollution” (air purification) and a “Bridge Over Troubled Waters” (water purification). We are committed to providing optimal results and economical solutions to environmental concerns. We provide Environmental Support Systems to purify the air in your home, auto, or work place, and purify the water you drink, cook with, bathe or shower in – even when you are traveling away from home, hunting, fishing, or participating in sports, or other recreational activities.

It has been estimated that most of us spend 90% of our lives indoors. And, we have invested heavily, over the past three decades, in products that provide for our personal comfort. Most homes and offices are centrally heated and air conditioned, and we can even control the humidity. In order to reduce the cost of enjoying these creature comforts, most buildings have been sealed against the wind and insulated against the heat and cold to the point that few people today have access to fresh air anymore.

When you consider that we breathe in about 16,000 quarts of air per day, and each of those quarts have particulates – visible and invisible – in them, not even counting gases and odors, it is no wonder that more and more people are becoming concerned about their indoor air quality. Of course, individually, we are the major contributors to the problem. We bring in an array of household cleaning products, beauty and personal care products, pets with animal dander and hair, human with germs, insecticides and smoke – both wood and tobacco. Then there are those things that are uninvited – pollen, plant spores, household dust (with dust mites), mold, bacteria, and various viruses. So, what can we do???

There are many types of air filters on the market – some inexpensive small units that cannot do the job of purifying the air; in fact, most of them do nothing except re-cycle the same old dirty air in the room. And, there are some Air Purification Units that can supply contaminant-free air. The HealthStyles4URx Environmental Support Air Purification Products are the best on the market, for home and business applications – having been developed and designed over 55 years ago – and they produce optimal results, for particular applications under normal conditions – and, at a very affordable cost.

Purifying the air we breathe in the home or work environment is of extreme importance in order to eliminate, or kill, bacteria, fungi and molds that cause respiratory illness, such as asthma, allergies, skin irritations, headaches, sinus problems, nasal and throat congestions, etc. Purification of the also eliminates pet odors, food odors, and neutralizes chemical gases caused by cigarettes, as well as other gases that may occur within the building, such as gas leaks from faulty pipes and heating units. In addition, it kills the pesky “dust mite” that we have heard so much about that lives in our bedding, sheets, pillows, furniture, carpeting, etc. These dust mites have been known to cause serious irritation to the skin, hair, eye lashes, and respiratory tracts. Dust mites live off the dead skin cells that we constantly exfoliate while we sleep, or move about on our furniture.

Everyday thousands of asthmatics are taken to the Emergency Room for treatment. As Asthma becomes a national epidemic, people everywhere are asking the question: “Is Air Pollution Making Us Sick?”

Over 40 million tons of hazardous waste is produced in the United States each year. It is produced by large industrial facilities such as chemical manufacturers, electroplating companies, petroleum refineries, and by more common businesses, such as dry cleaners, auto repair shops, hospitals, exterminators and photo processing centers. The EPA has produced a list of more than 500 hazardous wastes and works with businesses and state and local authorities to ensure these wastes are properly treated and disposed of. The EPA conducts risk management studies to ascertain the potential health effects of exposure to these wastes, and oversees “Superfund” and other programs that clean-up contaminated waste sites.

Air purification establishes a proper balance of the positive (+) and negative (-) ions, which are needed to maintain healthy energy levels, clarity of memory, and good emotional and mood levels. Our air purification units contain both negative ion generators and ozone generators – which enhance the purification process.

Air filtration units DO NOT provide the above benefits – they only circulate the air within a room and provide some filtration of the indoor air, such as dust and smoke. Only Air Purification units provide the major health benefits needed to maintain a “clean environment”. Units are available for homes, apartments, offices, autos, businesses and restaurants.

HealthStyles4URx offers indoor air purification systems, which are significantly different from all others on the market. They use patented purification processes that are very familiar in our natural atmosphere to purify the indoor air in your home or business. Laboratory tests have proven that our units reduce microbial compounds (mold, yeast and bacteria), particulates, and odors.
