With detectable levels of outgassed formaldehyde well above levels recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in such mass-produced environments as motorhomes, and trailers, Indianapolis-based Pure Air Systems is looking to provide viable portable air filtration solutions to combat the rising concern of formaldehyde gas in an airborne environment.
"If you are the new or recent owner of a trailer, RV or mobile home, there's a highly likely chance you experienced or are experiencing some form formaldehyde outgassing," says Dave Hearn, president of Pure Air Systems Inc. "We've developed a portable air filtration solution that specifically combats formaldehyde outgassing."
Formaldehyde is a preservative chemical almost universally used in the construction of RVs, said Hearn.
"This chemical leeches into the environment, yields a noticeable, pungent smell and can cause watery eyes, nausea and breathing problems. We've configured our portable air filters with special carbon filters to significantly reduce the amount of airborne formaldehyde," said Hearn. "It's a win-win investment if you own an RV. Safely reduce the formaldehyde concentration during your first year of use of the product, and then have a high-quality portable air filter available in your environment thereafter."
The portable system was originally designed with a HEPA filter for use in apartments, condominiums and other smaller enclosed spaces. The carbon-filtered systems can be converted back to the HEPA based system after about a year of use within a high-concentration formaldehyde environment.
