The Results Are In!!!
And the winners are — the employees and visitors of the Greater Mount Airy Chamber of Commerce and the Mount Airy Visitor Center!!! They can all breathe cleaner air, thanks to Air Oasis™ Air Purification Systems supplied by Healthy Technologies of Pilot Mountain. Four of these systems were purchased by Rick Vaughn, Manager of Historic Downtown MA, LLC/Granite Development, LLC in September of this year. They were mounted in the HVAC supply ducts of the Chamber and Visitors Center by Pilot Mechanical, also of Pilot Mountain. The affordable, state-of-the-art systems are “The Electronic Solution to Indoor Pollution™”, using no filters or harmful
chemicals.
Air samples were collected to compare the Indoor Air Quality, prior to installation of the air purification systems and again on December 7. The air samples were sent to an independent, accredited laboratory in Greensboro for analysis.


The laboratory reports show a 76% improvement in Indoor Air Quality!
These systems can be easily installed in homes and commercial buildings with HVAC ductwork. Attractive portable systems are available for buildings without HVAC ducts or with special Indoor Air Quality problems. Call 336-499-2505

Airborne Infectious Diseases









Airborne Infectious Diseases - ASHRAE Position Document by ashrae.org
This position document has been written to provide the membership of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and other interested persons with information on the health consequences of exposure to airborne infectious disease and on the implications of this knowledge for the design, installation and operation of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. In this paper three methods of transmission of Airborne Infectious Diseases are discussed, namely through direct contact, large droplet contact, and inhalation of droplet nuclei.[FULL STORY]

Swine Flu (H1N1) Contingency Plan
Many agencies recently announced that employers should develop a contingency plan to prepare for the Swine Flu outbreak. This plan explains what to do when an employee contracts Swine Flu and how to prepare for large numbers of absent employees. You can view some of these tips by clicking here. What was failed to be mentioned is how to help PREVENT Swine Flu in the work place, outside of washing your hands and not talking face to face. Air and surface sanitizers are a great PREVENTATIVE measure!


Breakthrough UV Air Sanifier™ Technology! www.healthyti.com
The Air Oasis technology is proven effective against MRSA and may be part of the answer for many more of today's "Super Bugs", such as Swine Flu.
Studies conducted by West Texas A&M university at BSA Hospital confirm that Air Oasis Air Sanifier™ technology not only purifies your air, but sanitizes surfaces. This study measured reductions in methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA on surfaces.
This study also measured reductions in other microbes and fungus. There was a 75% reduction in microbes and fungus in only 8 hours of use. Other studies show an almost complete eradication over longer periods of exposure.
Studies have also proven effective treatment on the concentration of indoor aeroallergern concentration.
Current ongoing studies are aimed at proving reductions in VOC and odors. These tests will be conducted against formaldehyde, hydrogen sulfide, carbon disulfide and more. We also plan to conduct studies on additional contaminants.
