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[...]

Inversion Traps Pollution Causing Health Problems
The HealthMate Plus Air Purifier Reduces Health Risks
When warm air is sitting on cold air, it is called an inversion. Inversions trap high concentrations of pollutants and reduce air quality. To avoid inhaling excessive pollutants, don't exert yourself outdoors. With indoor air contamination levels 3 to 10 times higher that outdoors, use an air purifier. We recommend the HealthMate Plus.
Temperature Inversions
In the winter months, cold air can lay closest to the ground while the warm air is above. This is called a temperature inversion, because normally they are reversed. A dense layer of cold air along with polluting contamination is[...]

Coal-Burning Plants and Air Quality
Consider The HealthMate Plus Air Purifier
Sulfur dioxide is still emitted in heavy concentrations for coal-burning power generating plants, thus producing dangerous air quality contamination. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), with the help of the Department of Justice (DOJ) continues to fight pollution in court to, at the very least, get coal-burning facilities to meet Clean Air Act standards. Although sulfur dioxide and the other emitted pollutants can be originated in one state, fallout of contaminations can drift in the air to surrounding states. Homes along the path of the pollutants can be exposed to harmful health risks. With emissions of[...]

Direct Connection Between Indoor Air Contamination and Cardiovascular Disease
The HealthMate Plus Removes the Health Risks
Ongoing research continues to confirm that poor air quality negatively impacts our health, particularly the cardiovascular system. The connection between air pollution leading to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease is not new. However, a more direct connection between indoor air contamination to this disease has been found in a recent study.
This study concludes that the simple removal of tiny contaminates will reduce health risks. Select a high quality air purifier like the HealthMate Plus. This air cleaner has High Efficiency Particulate Arresting (HEPA) filtering for the removal of microscopic particles with a blend[...]

Ethanol Emissions Produce Formaldehyde
The HealthMate Plus Air Purifier Reduces Exposure
Ethanol in our gasoline reduces air contamination, but also produces formaldehyde emissions. Using a high quality air purifier guards you from the harmful effects of formaldehyde. Make sure this air cleaner removes Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) gases like formaldehyde. The Austin Air HealthMate Plus is one good example of an air purifier that can do the job.
Background
As a cleaner burning alternative to pure gasoline, Ethanol mix is described as an eco-friendly fuel that helps reduce global warming and air pollution. It is a more readily produced fuel using renewable sources such as corn and[...]
