1000's Flee Arizona Wildfire While Smoke Travels 1,000 Miles
The huge, fast moving eastern Arizona wildfire has now forced estimates of 11,000 people from their homes. Along with so many fleeing, there is smoke rising high into the sky and travelling a 1000 miles, creating poor air quality for those near and far. With forest fire smoke known to carry dangerous particulates and gases, potential toxins are endangering a very large population of the United States. Firefighters are trying to protect the homes and business from being consumed by the fire. Equally important, people should protect themselves from the health risks[...]

The HealthMate Plus Removes Lingering Cigarette Smoke Gases and Odors
Cigarette second hand smoke doesn't only affect your life, it affects the lives of everyone around you who may inhale the smoke gases.

The second-hand smoke and the odors can be removed from the home with air purifiers that contain the right kind of technologies.

Air Purifiers and New Facilities Have Long Lasting Economic Benefits
This year, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPS) is expected to propose and finalize regulation to restrict emissions from coal-burning facilities. These air purifier regulations, when implemented, will drive vital emission improvements that will lead to improved air quality for many of northeastern US states. In recent months, the EPA, working closely with the Department of Justice (DOJ), has been going to court to force electric-generating coal-firing facilities to comply with the Clean Air Act. Coinciding with these actions, Congress Republicans have proposed regulations to remove any responsibility the EPA may think[...]

The latest Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine contains an article on cardiovascular health related to air pollution. This article reports how HEPA filters were found to remove airborne particulate matter which in turn removed cardiovascular risk factors. Air purifiers were used by researchers with adults subjects at many different locations. These purifiers were placed in common areas during the day and bedrooms at night. Throughout a two week study, HEPA filters were installed in, then removed from the air purifiers while the air was monitored for particulate matter. Study participants were unaware of these changes and at the[...]

Insufficient Air Purifier Technology at Rush Island
Last week the Environment Protection Agency (EPA), through the Department of Justice (DOJ), filed a lawsuit against Ameren Missouri and their sulfur dioxide-emitting, coal powered utility at Rush Island. The EPA alleges that the plant emissions violate the Clean Air Act, excessively polluting air quality. The suit claims that a decade ago, Ameren performed modifications without obtaining required permits and did not install the most advanced air purifier technologies for controlling pollution emissions available at the time. As a result, Rush Island produces excess harmful sulfur dioxide emissions. In response, Ameren argues that a[...]
