Indoor Air: High Concentrations of
Biological Contaminants
With tighter building construction in recent years, the
quality of indoor air has declined dramatically.
The air circulating in the ductwork of the average
home or office can be concentrated with contaminants
including molds, bacteria, viruses, and dust mites.
We fill our lungs up to 20,000 times each day. Over
time, these contaminants can cause inflammation of
the mucous membranes, upper respiratory problems,
asthmatic conditions, headaches, and flu-like symptoms.
Filtering systems offer little or no help because these
airborne contaminants either pass through the filter or
simply collect on the filter medium, creating a breeding
ground. Now, with the UV-Aire
® Air Purifying System, a
solution is available to directly address the problems
associated with poor indoor air quality.
The Sun: Nature’s Outdoor Air Purifier
For years, scientists have known that one of the most
effective air purifiers is natural sunlight. Not the light we
see when we look out the window, but the invisible “C”
band, ultraviolet rays that make up part of the sun’s light
spectrum. The sun’s UV-C rays act as a natural outdoor
air purification system, inhibiting the growth and
reproduction of bacteria, viruses, fungi, molds, and dust
mites. However, this natural process does not occur
indoors. Ultraviolet radiation (UV-C) replicates the natural
outdoor purification system of the sun by destroying the
illness and disease-causing microbes living and
multiplying in indoor air. In combination with a quality
filter, it is the most effective way to reduce airborne
contaminants and the health risks they represent.

Eliminate Moisture Problems
Excessive moisture under a house can
contribute to air pollution inside the
house. The Eliminator ® Foundation Vent
Fan is a motorized fan designed for circulating outside
air through the crawl space of a structure to reduce
moisture and moisture-related problems. In addition to
dry rot, fungus growth and increasing termite potential,
excessive moisture can generate mold. Mold and mold
spores can infiltrate the living space as well as the
HVAC system, causing problems for the inhabitants.
With the Eliminator, air changes are increased
dramatically for better moisture removal and control.
The EL-1 is designed to be mounted to a crawl space
vent. It operates off a temperature switch which
activates the motor at or above 50°F. An optional,
adjustable de-humidistat can be used to activate the
unit at varying levels of relative humidity. This optional
control can be wired in place of, or in series with, the
standard temperature switch.
