 Introduction
Indoor environments are as altered by the advances of civilization as outdoor environments are. We seal our buildings tighter. We have introduced thousands of coatings, glues, fabrics, insulators, insecticides, disinfectants, personal care products, soaps, perfumes, refrigerants, lubricants, dry cleaning chemicals, packaging materials, and who knows what else. It may be safer to be in the wilderness than in our own home. We spend 90% of our time indoors breathing these potential contaminants!
Experts warn that fumes of various cleaning products can cause learning disabilities. Dust mite excrement is highly prone to cause allergic reactions. These microscopic creatures live close to their food source (dead skin). Literally our bedding can become a cafeteria and breeding ground. The ceiling? Styrene, Fiberglass, Wood, all are porous materials that are convenient places for the accumulation of disease-causing pollutants. Think of your duct work, full of mold, mildew, dust and bacteria. Modern homes are becoming more energy efficient, allowing for almost no fresh air to be circulated into a room. Only 10% of colds are caught outdoors. 90% are caught indoors! Nature destroys germs and dust outdoors, but our energy-efficient homes keep nature out, and germs in! 80% of what's floating in a ray of sunshine is dead skin from people who have been in this room. The air in our house/building is Highly Complex, Somewhat Unpredictable, Potentially Dangerous. It's the constancy of exposure and long-range effect that makes indoor air pollution so pandemic. From the floor of the House of Representatives, indoor pollution has been called our greatest environmental problem. In homes, cars, schools, commercial sites, and workplaces, we breathe less-than-ideal air all day long and year-around. A Person Averages Over 20,000 Breaths Each Day and we get almost 60% of our energy from the air we breathe. A solution already exists. It involves three processes:
1. Disinfection 2. Oxidation 3. Particulate Control But first...you should understand "How Nature Cleans House" Back to Top
How Nature Cleans House
The earth recycles her assets in many ways. One system for converting organic waste into fresh resources involves ozone, the same oxygen variant which blocks UV rays in the upper atmosphere. Closer to home, ozone reduces organic "stuff" into carbon dioxide, water vapor, and oxygen. To a non-chemist this may sound unreal, but it does happen. Nature is remarkable. The sun gives off electric charges, changing some positive particulates in the air to a negative charge. These negative particles are attracted to existing positive particles, and as they join, they become heavy and cannot stay airborne. The sun's rays then create low level ozone. As nature's most powerful oxidizing agent, ozone completes nature's process of reducing contaminants to harmless natural substances. So we advocate indoor ozonation. Indoor air has less ozone than outdoor air because no lighting bolts, sun rays, waves, or waterfalls are there to create it. It makes sense to replace the missing ozone. Without it, indoor dust floats, gathers in balls, collects in ducts, clings to surfaces, etc. We breathe it into our bodies several times a minute. Yuck! Back to Top
How the Purification System Works (3-part process)
If only we could put our homes into a forest and let nature clean the air! Since that's not practical, we offer you air purification systems that create ion balanced air, and then create low level ozone molecules. Our units will make the air in your home, or office, mountain fresh. Nothing is more refreshing than a deep breath of clean mountain air. The solution involves three processes. 1. Disinfection
Ozone is a natural disinfectant which reduces bacteria, mold, yeast, and fungi. Natural outdoor ozone levels of .02 to .05 parts per million keep outdoor air healthy. That outdoor effect can be reproduced indoors with our air purification systems. Ozone interacts with moisture and makes small amounts of hydrogen peroxide (also a disinfectant) resulting in a double disinfectant benefit in humid situations. 2. Oxidation
Ozone is natures best oxidizer (other than fire). Epidemics, for example, can be stopped by burning the possessions and corpses of infected people. Smells can be destroyed through burning. This is oxidation in its most extreme. If you put a dead rat in a bonfire, the filth, fur, flesh, entrails, and bones simply go up in smoke. The rat has been converted via oxidation into carbon dioxide, water vapor, heat, and a little ash. Without the fire, the rat decays over a period of weeks, and the smell fades in a few days. But a deceased rat in one's attic might smell for a month because, as an oxidizer, oxygen is less powerful than ozone. Oxidation, whether by fire, oxygen, or ozone, reduces many organics to their sub-components. This is why we KNOW these units work. It's not a matter of maybe or sometimes. Our units always reduce smells, and ALWAYS reduce pollutants. 3. Particulate Control
Our units also reduce particulate, but not through filtration which is the only process most people understand. Filters have limits, and flow patterns develop leaving the "non-flow" spaces untreated. Who wants air that just passed through a breeding nest of bacteria, and mold? If filters worked there would not be an indoor pollution problem. Now to particulate removal. If we don't use filtration, how is it achieved? The answer is ionization. Ions start as stable molecules or particles within an airspace. As radio waves zoom away from the antenna at the speed of light, some of the molecules/particles get charged as the power wave passes. These newly charged ions have a magnetic-like attraction to nearby pollutants. The link-ups happen quickly but more ions are always being made. Molecule/particle clusters grow heavier and heavier until finally they settle to the floor. Back to Top

 LightningAir Plus Ionizer Air Purifiers (product information & ordering)
State of the art purifier generates both negative ions and activated oxygen. The LightningAir provides the same process as Nature, reducing odors and purifying the air indoors. Ionic purification removes dust and pollen from the air. Negative Ions cause dust and other particles to fall out of the air. Most indoor particles that are airborne tend to be positively charged. Negative ions give some of the particles a negative charge. The positive and negative particles then combine with each other become heavy and fall to the ground. Nature is constantly creating negative ions to clear the air. Some examples are waterfalls, waves crashing on the beach and changes in the weather. The LightningAir accomplishes this natural process by employing a special negative ion generator. Activated Oxygen breaks down odors and other pollutants at their source. Lightning is one way that nature creates activated oxygen. Nature has many ways to produce activated oxygen (a natural air cleaner). For example, we've all taken a walk after a thunderstorm and experienced the clean, fresh smell in the air. That's ozone, or activated oxygen, at work. Normal oxygen O2 is converted to O3, which is commonly called ozone or activated oxygen. O3 will break down odors and other contaminates. The LightningAir employs a unique O3 generator to achieve this natural process. The sanitizer has a separate control from the ionizer. It can be turned on and adjusted to remove odors or take care of problem areas such as musty closets and basements. Home or commercial applications. Selection Guide
