Study on Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO) Raises Questions About Formaldehyde as a Byproduct in Indoor Air

Research at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory finds that Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO) reduces indoor VOC’s but could produce formaldehyde as a byproduct. A very promising new technology for the reduction of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) in indoor environments is Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO). This process exposes ultraviolet light to a catalyst such as titanium dioxide to produce … More

Study Finds RCI Devices Increase Indoor Ozone and Are Relatively Ineffective at Particle Removal

This study shows that the RCI (radiant catalytic ionization) Air Cleaning Devices produce fairly significant levels of ozone and are less effective than a standard air filter at removing 2 micron sized particles. Researchers at the University of Cincinnati have found that the RCI “air cleaning device” produces a significant amount of ozone and is … More

The Indoor Air Thickens – New Study Confirms Links with Ozone, Cleaning Agents and Air Contaminants

Fine particles, formaldehyde and other air contaminants are created when common cleaning agents are exposed to indoor ozone. When used indoors in the presence of ozone, many household cleaners and air fresheners emit toxic pollutants at levels that may lead to health risks according to a new study by researchers at the University of California, … More

Isn’t it Ionic? Air Purifiers Make Smog

Another study confirms that ionizers and ozone generators can create unhealthy levels of ozone in poorly ventilated rooms. The news does not appear to be getting any better for ionizers, ozone generators or other devices that generate ozone and claim to be “air purifiers.” Another study has raised additional concerns about these devices. This study … More

Bleach Found to Neutralize Mold Allergens

We have known bleach kills mold. This study shows that bleach also reduces allergenic properties of mold. A little bleach and water does a good job of killing surface mold. But mold like other allergens has allergenic properties dead or alive. In a recent study conducted at National Jewish Medical and Research Center and published … More
