New System Protects Against Formaldehyde Exposure in Mobile Homes
Asheville, NC - Manufactured homes constructed with composite wood products are emitting levels of formaldehyde, contributing to health problems such as asthma, heart disease and even premature death. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), there is no safe level of exposure to the carcinogen in indoor air.
This concern is recognized by the EPA, which now lists poor indoor air quality among the top five greatest threats to public health, and by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The Board recently passed new standards for reducing formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products, which are among the highest contributors of formaldehyde. Composite wood products are commonly used in furniture, flooring, cabinets, plywood, fiberboard and other home, construction and furnishing materials.
SafeHome Filters was formed to combat formaldehyde and other indoor air pollution issues. SafeHome developers worked with leading engineers and an industrial pollution filter manufacturer to develop a patent-pending system that is safe, easy and highly effective against common hazardous pollutants and chemicals. The filters work in heating and air conditioning systems to remove pollution throughout a home.
"There is currently a high level of awareness of formaldehyde as a serious health issue because of recent national news coverage. When we realized there was no solution for families living in manufactured housing affected by the gas, we worked to engineer a system specifically for them," said Sam McLamb, co-founder of SafeHome Filters. "SafeHome Filters now offers an effective solution for indoor air pollution that is affordable and easy to install."
SafeHome Filters offers safe, easy and highly-effective solutions for removing hazardous gases, odors and allergens from the air in your home. By reengineering the same chemical pollution filters used to protect top-tier operating rooms and major airports, SafeHome Filters work with existing home air systems to purify air throughout your home. Because not all air systems are the same, solutions are specialized for different filter locations and offer benefits such as self-sealing edges and increased longevity. Where previous solutions required extensive equipment installation, SafeHome Filters offers highly effective pollution removal that is as simple as changing your air filter. SafeHome Filters offers additional indoor air quality information, as well as filters for purchase on their website www.safehomefilters.com.
