We did a lot of research on air purification, especially with the fumigation happening. We wanted to make sure we had a good way to clean all the air in the store after the chemicals were used in the space. 

We also wanted to make sure that we were getting an air purifier that really would do the work to keep our air clean. These purifiers have a H13 HEPA filter, which is one of the highest rated filters available. It clears the air 99.95% of ultra-fine particles at 0.1 microns, like smoke, odors, formaldehyde, and viruses like COVID-19. These purifiers also have optimal air flow, which assures that they are not cleansing the same air repeatedly. They do this by taking in the air from all sides around the bottom of the purifier, and pushing the clean air out the top towards your ceiling where it will disperse in all directions. 

We are excited to be able to offer these amazing purifiers to you too! While they won't be for sale until this summer, we will be renting out our 8 units to locals for use for their homes and for events. These are great to use when you're remodeling to clear the air of toxins and particulates, or if someone in your household is sick.

Rentals will start at $30 a day. Give us a call at 831-624-1222 or send us an email at [email protected] if you're interested in renting one!

Why Aeris Health Inc. Does Not Use Ionization in Our Air Purifiers

Many manufacturers still use some form of ionization in their air purifiers. You may see it called by many names (e.g., PlasmaWave, OxyPure, IonCluster, etc.). There are really two types of ionization technology that can be used. One charges particles to get them to stick to oppositely charged collector plates housed in the system or in the filter itself, and the other creates radicals that cause particles to stick together and become too heavy to stay suspended in the air. We will address both technologies and the problems with them both. Aeris Health believes that mechanical filtration is still the most effective way to clean the air. Below are a few reasons why we do not use UV lights in our air purifiers.

1. Ionization by electrostatic precipitation. This is the process of charging a particle to stick to a filter or a collector plate.
a. The ionization process produces ozone, which is a lung irritant and has dangerous side effects.
b. These units typically work well for a short time, but as the collector plates become covered, they are less attractive to the charged particles which stop sticking to them.
c. Charged particles that are not captured by the collector plates or filter are released into the environment you are breathing.
i. These charged particles can stick to walls, furniture, clothing, or just about anything nearby.
ii. If you breathe in these particles, they can stick to and build up in your respiratory tract. This can worsen asthma symptoms and increase your risk of lung disease.
d. When the Association for Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) tests for the Clean Air Delivery Rate of a purifier (CADR), they do not look at how it cleans the air, they simply look at how many particles are in the air after it runs for 20 minutes. That may sound great, but if the charged particles are stuck to the test chamber walls, the “air purifier” really did not clean the environment, it simply tested well to AHAM’s CADR test protocol.
i. Do you remember the Sharper Image Ionic Breeze?
ii. It was tested and was highly rated by AHAM.
1. Ionizers work well for about 72 hours; however, air purifiers need to operate for over 8,000 hours a year. 2. Ionized particles that are not captured by the collector plates stick to the test chamber walls, and the test results are not accurate to real world applications. iii. Other consumer protection organizations found that it produced unhealthy levels of ozone. Sharper Image ended production on the Ionic Breeze and offered rebates to customers who had purchased it. 2. The other form of Ionization releases negative ions into the environment and causes particles to clump together.
a. Many manufactures will tell you that negative ions are naturally occurring, and they are. However, the negative ions produced by these purifiers are not, they are formed through process called “electric-discharge.” This produces ozone as a byproduct.
b. The negative ions attract dust, microbes, smoke, and allergens and they clump together.
i. These clumps become too heavy to stay suspended in the air and fall onto surfaces and the floor.
ii. You now must remove these large dust particles from the environment by sweeping, dusting, or vacuuming.
iii. These particles can also be redistributed back into the air or picked up through contact. Aeris Health Inc. 6780 Katella Ave, Cypress, CA 90630 [email protected]
c. Research has found that ions can react with other compounds present in the air and potentially lead to the formation of harmful byproducts such as formaldehyde.
d. Ions can also rapidly bind to other gases and spur the formation of new 'ultrafine' particles.
e. In August 2020, a study by Colorado State University concluded that exposure to negative ions was associated with increased systemic oxidative stress levels (a marker of cardiovascular health).
f. An August 2019 study by the National Center of Biotechnical Information of air ionizers in school classrooms showed that reduced particulate matter concentrations led to some improvements in respiratory health among 11–14-year-old children, however, the ionizers had an adverse effect on heart rate variability (a measure of cardiovascular health), meaning that any benefit to the lungs came at a cost to the heart.
g. On May 27, 2021, Mother Jones published an article by Madison Pauly called “Caution to the wind” (Link) detailing many of the issue with many new technologies being sold to “clean the air”, but are not living up to the expectations and are even being found to be more harmful than expected. Most importantly, we believe that air purifiers should improve air quality while destroying microbes—and not introduce ozone, formaldehyde, or any other harmful byproducts into the air you breath. Even if systems that utilize these technologies have CARB certification and claim to be “Ozone Free” they are not “Ozone Free”. They simply produce an amount of ozone below CARB’s acceptable levels, or they can turn the technology off and meet the requirements. Any amount of ozone can be harmful, especially to those with respiratory conditions.

In conclusion, Aeris Health believes that our approach is the most effective and safest way to clean the air. Our systems are sealed, meaning that they do not have any air that bypasses the filter. All air is forced to go through our filters which are very efficient at trapping viruses, bacteria, and much smaller particles (our H13 HEPA filter is 99.95% effective at removing particles to 0.1 microns). Our filters have antimicrobial properties embedded in the fibers of our filter media that kill bacteria and viruses, including coronavirus.

Why Aeris Health Does Not Use UVGI Light in Our Air Purifiers

Many manufacturers have jumped on the ultraviolet-C (UVC) light band wagon and incorporated ultraviolet light germicidal irradiation (UVGI) technology into their air purifiers. While this may seem like a great idea, there are health risks. Below are a few reasons why we do not use UV lights in our air purifiers.

1. UVGI Lamps can produce ozone.
a. Some manufacturers coat their lamps to absorb the wavelength that creates ozone, some do not.
b. Some lamps may still produce varying amounts of ozone after being coated due to differences in quality. c. Many systems using UV light have received CARB certification because the UV light can be turned off during testing and therefore no ozone is produced at that time.

2. While there are suitable uses for UVGI lamps, they are not as effective in air purifiers as are filters. There are a few reasons for this:
a. The quality, wavelength, and power of the UV lamp can vary, they are not all the same.
b. Temperature and relative humidity can also affect UVGI’s effectiveness.
c. Different bacteria and viruses require various exposure times for UV light to effectively inactivate them. Bacteria usually become inactive within seconds of exposure, but many viruses require minutes. The SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19) needs about 15–30 minutes of direct exposure to become inactivated.
i. If an inefficient air purifier cannot trap particles as small as COVID-19, the viruses will pass through the purifier and will not receive enough exposure to the UV light.
ii. Many systems have leakage, or filter bypass. In these, viruses and bacteria can bypass the filter and will not be captured and exposed to UV light long enough to be inactivated.
d. A pathogen requires direct exposure to UV light to be inactivated. Dust, soil, or even the HEPA fibers themselves can prevent direct exposure.
e. UV lamps can degrade some types of filter media making them less effective over time. Why would you use technology that could make the most effective part of your air purifier less effective? 3. UV lamps can cause damage to the eyes and skin.
4. UV Lamps typically require more energy or electrical draw to operate.
5. UV Lamps do need to be replaced at an additional cost to the owner. Most importantly, we believe that air purifiers should improve air quality while destroying microbes—and not introduce ozone. Many manufacturers who pass CARB requirement for Ozone emissions feel this allows them to market their systems to be “Ozone Free” they are not “Ozone Free”. They simply produce an amount of ozone below CARB’s acceptable levels. Any amount of ozone can be harmful, especially to those with respiratory conditions.
