We are in the chemical phase of evolution, where chemicals are used
in every industry, for nearly every product, and in a plethora of ways
to produce products, clothing and shelter for people. The problem is
that chemical fumes from the products, clothing and shelters continuously
off-gas until the chemical fumes are expended, which could take six months
or more.
Sometimes the off-gassing from furniture is so extreme that the room stinks from the chemicals. If nothing is done to eliminate the off-gassing, the people who live in that room will breathe in the chemical off-gassing.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) are contaminants that may be found in homes and buildings, paint, carpets, furniture, equipment, printers and fax machines, nail polish and polish remover, cleaning supplies, anything that is glued together and anything with chemical ingredients. There are hundreds of VOC chemicals; here are some better known:
VOCs have also contaminated our drinking water supplies across the nation. In water purification, KDF filters remove VOCs. Fortunately, there are air purifiers on the market that can solve the problem. Two of the best technologies for removing chemical odors and VOC off-gassing are Advanced Oxidation or Carbon Filters, such as those in the Airpura.
Airpura excels in the use of activated carbon for the removable of chemicals and VOC's and those organic chemicals (pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals) that are readily vaporizable at a relatively low temperature. VOC's are often toxic and pose intimidating health risks.
Airpura has three models specifically designed for odor and chemical fumes air pollution. As with all Airpura models, the color choices are white, cream or black.
The AP-V600 has 18 lb. of Super Carbon, which is premium quality activated carbon that has been specially treated to deal with specific chemicals, especially VOCs, including formaldehyde, toluene, benzene and ammonia based chemicals. Super carbon comes standard on the V600 and is an option of the C600 (see below) and the T600 specifically designed for cigarette, cigar and pipe smoke. The V600 is ideal for VOCs emitted from new carpeting, painting, furniture, remodeling, new electronic equipment, plastics, nail or hair salon products, or other businesses with VOC and chemical emission problems. The V600 also comes with a 2" HEPA filter for particulate elimination. Read V600 Brochure
The Airpura AP-C600 is specifically designed to deal with over 4000 chemicals, VOCs and their odors with its hefty 26 lb. activated carbon (13" x 13" x 7.5") with 570 square inches of surface space to adsorb airborne chemicals, gases, VOCs and odors. The greater the surface space the more effective the chemical adsorption. The large mass of carbon chosen offers the best dwell time needed for best chemical and odor removal. The 560 cfm impeller/motor combined with the variable speed control and unimpeded airflow of the Airpura 600 series allows you to set the airflow precisely and achieve the results you need. Also, the C600 has a HEPA-Barrier post filter for carbon dust and particles. The Airpura AP-C600 is an excellent choice for offices and businesses with chemical or VOC pollution and for homes with new construction or remodeling, new furniture, floors, painting, etc. Read C600 Brochure
If cigar or tobacco smoke is the problem, choose the Airpura AP-T600, which is specifically designed to deal with cigarrette, cigar and pipe smoke and over 4000 chemicals, VOCs and their odors with its hefty 26 lb. activated carbon (13" x 13" x 7.5") with 570 square inches of surface space to adsorb airborne chemicals, gases, VOCs and odors. The greater the surface space the more effective the chemical adsorbtion. The large mass of carbon chosen offers the best dwell time needed for best chemical and odor removal. The 560 cfm impeller/motor combined with the variable speed control and unimpeded airflow of the Airpura 600 series allows you to set the airflow precisely and achieve the results you need. Also, the C600 has a HEPA-Barrier post filter for carbon dust and particles and a TAR Barrier prefilter for the tar emitted from smoking cigars and cigarettes.
