Contaminated air in hospitals and commercial buildings has become an international issue that continues to escalate.  Experts recognize that certain contaminants are causing widespread discomfort and health problems, leading to absenteeism and reduced productivity.  Healthy and productive commercial and industrial environments could literally save billions of dollars in health care costs, lost work days, productivity, yield and possible litigation. 

While different types of contaminants are found in indoor air, bioaerosals have been demonstrated to be the leading cause of the problems referred to as SBS (Sick Building Syndrome).  Other airborne and surface microorganisms include viruses and bacteria which can spread colds, flu, measles, chicken pox, Legionnaires' disease and other illnesses.

Steril-Aire can help eliminate bioaerosals and other contaminants  from your building's indoor air system.  Bioaerosals are one of the leading causes of SBS (Sick Building Syndrome) and hospital infections.

In HVAC Systems, Mold
Can Proliferate Year-Round

Among allergens, mold and mold products are probably the most common worldwide.  In HVAC equipment, mold can proliferate year-round.  With most individuals, exposure to elevated levels of mold and mold products initiates the release of histamines, causing inflammation of mucous membranes which can be followed by congestion, breathing difficulties, asthma and other complications.

HVAC systems are not only a perfect conduit for the spread of microorganisms, they are also a source.  In the majority of cases, the effect of filtration is reduced because this proliferation occurs downstream of filters, allowing organisms to travel through the space before being returned to the HVAC system.  Beyond that, viruses and most bacteria are too small to be captured by the average filter.

Healthy and thus productive indoor environments could literally save billions of dollars in health care costs, lost work days, productivity and possible litigation.

Among Other Benefits, Steril-Aire Systems:

• Control fungi in HVAC systems to reduce or eliminate mold-related allergies.

• Prevent the development of Legionella and other bacteria - and provide a recognized strategy for the tubercle bacillus (tuberculosis).

• Predictably reduce the spread of cold and flu viruses as well as other airborne-transmitted diseases.

• Reduce the need for costly system cleaning.

Steril-Aire UVC Systems pose no risk to equipment, furnishings or inhabitants.  Their non-chemical energy kills organisms without producing ozone or other secondary contamination and costs only pennies per day to operate.
