The 8000 Vocarb
Facts about VOCs
EPA studies have found that levels of about a 12 common organic
pollutants are 2 to 5 times higher inside homes than outside,
regardless of whether the homes were located in rural or highly
industrial areas.
More on VOCs and the power of activated carbon.
AllerAir air purifiers are packed with pounds of activated carbon, the same
material used by the military to protect soldiers in the event of a chemical attack.
Dangerous health effects associated with VOCs
Eye, nose and throat irritation
Headaches, nausea and diminished coordination
Liver, kidney and central nervous system damage
Examples of VOCs often found in indoor air:
Formaldehyde
A known carcinogen found in some insulation, furniture, carpet, glue
and tobacco smoke. Leads to burning in your throat, watery eyes,
nausea, difficulty breathing, and it can bring on asthma attacks.
Mold micro-toxins
These highly carcinogenic VOCs are the by-product of mold infestations.
Tobacco smoke
A known carcinogen found to contain more than 4000 chemicals
and gasses.
Methylene chloride
A known carcinogen found in aerosol paint and solvents. It is known
to cause cancer in animals. In the body it can also cause symptoms
associated with exposure to carbon monoxide.
Ammonia
Originate from cleaning products and litter boxes, these VOCs cause
eye and skin irritation, nose bleeding and sinus problems
The EPA also notes that while people are using products containing
VOCs, they can expose themselves and others to very high pollutant
levels whcih persist in the air long after the activity is completed.
Many VOCs are also known carcinogens.
Carbon is the most
adsorbent material
known to man and has
been used to purify air
and water for thousands
of years.
With the introduction
of poisonous gases
during World War I, the
military developed
large scale production
methods for adsorbent
carbons suitable for use
in gas-masks.
These wartime
advances in mass-
producing activated
carbons led to a post-
war expansion in
commercial production
and applications of this
amazingly versatile
substance.
