The continuous release of formaldehyde from furniture, harmful
gases, foul odors, bacteria, viruses, pollen, pet dander and other
allergens suspended in the air, are endangering your family’s res-
piratory health.
1. ACTIVE CARBON FILTER (BLACK): is the filter most used
to remove gases. The result is purifying the air from contami-
nants and particulates.
2. FILTER TO CATCH FORMALDEHYDE (RED): Formalde-
hyde levels are higher in
• Homes with new products or new construction. Formal-
dehyde levels are higher in new manufactured wood prod-
ucts such as flooring and furniture. Formaldehyde can also be
found in some fabrics.
• Homes with smokers. Tobacco smoke contains formalde-
hyde. If someone in your home smokes tobacco roducts, the
smoke may be the greatest source of formaldehyde in your
