Formaldehyde

The Austin Air Purifier for Chemical Gases
Formaldehyde gas is a extreme health risk if it is inhaled and is now is being recognized as a cancer-causing agent by many health organizations.
Formaldehyde dangers can be reduced with the use of air purifiers capable of removing this chemical vapor. The best air purifier on the market is the Austin Air Purifier with the Austin Air HealthMate Plus being the best choice for removing chemical gases including formaldehyde.
Agencies Recognizing Formaldehyde as a Carcinogenic
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency lists formaldehyde as a "probable human carcinogen." The International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of[...]

Austin Air Purifiers Can Help
You and your daughter go to your local hair salon. What's the problem? You may be at risk because of formaldehyde gas exposure emitted from salon products. Hair salon product manufactures are largely ignoring the problem when there is clear evidence that, when inhaled, this toxic gas can be a danger to hair salon workers and their customers. Sometimes, a very serious danger. How about your daughter's health? New studies are confirming direct links between formaldehyde exposure and asthma in children.
Formaldehyde is found in many, many products that surround us every day and these products are[...]

Air Purifiers Reduce the Health Risks
Car exhaust and factory smoke can make you sick. These pollutants enter the air and often, become a component of smog. Smog worsens when ethanol-based gasoline is consumed by automobiles. When burned, ethanol exhaust produces volatile organic compound (VOC) gases including formaldehyde. More ethanol use means more pollution! These toxins and factory-emitted air contaminations are not good for our environment and now have been linked to illnesses including Pneumonia. Invest in an air purifier to reduce health risks with quality home air filtration. The best air purifiers are built with activated carbon blends and medical[...]

Cancer and Other Health Effects From Formaldehyde
On June 2, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a human health assessment draft report on inhalation toxicity from formaldehyde. The report identifies levels of risk formaldehyde (a chemical widely used and contained in many consumer products) poses to Americans' health.
The EPA concludes that formaldehyde is more likely to cause health problems than previously understood. The report identifies the dangerous non-cancerous and cancerous impacts on our health from breathing formaldehyde.
With this gas all around us from and from many sources, it is important to purify the indoor air of this chemical gas. High-quality[...]

Smog created directly by the emission of chemical vapors into the atmosphere is referred to as photochemical smog. Over the years, photochemical smog has been influenced by many changing factors. Most recently, with the increasing use of ethanol-based gasoline, formaldehyde emissions are on the rise.
A good rule of thumb is that the indoor concentration of formaldehyde is often twice that of the outside concentration. Indoor air must be cleansed with a high quality air cleaner to remove harmful contamination. An activated carbon-based, High Efficiency Particulate Arresting (HEPA) air purifier is one of the best choices for removing Volatile Organic Compounds[...]
