Avoid second-hand smoke

The best way to protect your family from the health effects of second-hand smoke is to quit smoking and make your home and car 100% smoke-free.

What is second-hand smoke?

Second-hand smoke is what smokers exhale and what rises from an idle burning cigarette, cigar or pipe.

Second-hand smoke spreads from one room to another even if the door of the smoking area is closed. Also, harmful chemicals can cling to rugs, curtains, clothes, food, furniture, and other materials, and can remain in a room or car long after someone has smoked.

If anyone is smoking in your car or home, you and your family are being exposed to second-hand smoke.

No level of ventilation will eliminate the harmful effects of second-hand smoke. Opening a car or room window or turning on a fan may cause the smoke to be blown directly back inside.

Air fresheners only mask the smell of the smoke and do not reduce the harm in any way. Even air filters (air purifiers) cannot remove all of the cancer-causing agents.

Health risks

Did you know?

Second-hand smoke is especially dangerous to children because their lungs are still developing. Many chemicals in second-hand smoke can even pass through a pregnant woman's placenta and reach the fetus.

Second-hand smoke hurts everyone. It contains the same 4,000+ chemicals that are inhaled by a smoker. At least 70 of the chemicals found in second-hand smoke are known to cause cancer.

People who breathe second-hand smoke are at risk for:

• heart problems
• lung cancer
• emphysema
• breathing problems (like asthma)
• chest infections
• ear infections
• excessive coughing
• throat irritation

HEPA Filtration & Activated Charcoal / Carbon Filtration

Activated carbon / activated charcoal is widely recognized as the safest, most effective way to treat odors and chemicals, while HEPA (High Efficiency Particle Air) filters are the gold standard for removing particles. Together they provide the most complete and versatile air cleaning system available. Both tried and proven filtration medias.

About "Activated" Carbon

Carbon that is 'activated' undergoes a process that opens up millions of tiny pores and fissures to enhance the material's adsorbent properties. The process creates a very large internal surface area, which is key to the power of activated carbon - the more surface area - the more the carbon can adsorb. Only one pound of activated carbon typically has a surface area of 125 acres. Activated carbon is so effective that it's used in military gas masks. | multi-stage filtration process |

About HEPA Filters

HEPA stands for high efficiency particulate air filter and describes a filter that can remove at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 microns in diameter. Particles of this size are used to evaluate the performance of a filter because they are among the most difficult to remove. However, particles that are larger or smaller than 0.3 microns can be filtered with even greater efficiency due to the nature of the filter’s design. True HEPA filters are composed of a dense web of fibers designed to trap particles. This type of filter was first used in the 1940’s to trap radioactive contaminants in the air and protect scientists who were developing the first nuclear weapons. Today, HEPA is considered the safest and most efficient method to treat airborne particles. | multi-stage filtration process |

Air Filtration for Evidence Rooms and Property Rooms

Electrocorp's air filtration systems for evidence rooms and property rooms are designed for a broad spectrum of dangerous airborne contaminants, including narcotics fumes, aspergillus mold spores, microorganisms, biohazards, chemicals, gases, odor control, and particles.

We also provide air filtration for:
Forensic Labs
Odor Control
Crime Scene Applications

These tough industrial units are designed for 24/7 continuous use in evidence rooms and property rooms of varying size and feature activated carbon and HEPA technology originally developed by the military for hazardous airborne toxins.

Currently used by law enforcement agencies across America, these air filtration units can also be custom-built to address specific air quality concerns in various storage areas and departments.

From the INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR PROPERTY & EVIDENCE, Property Room Standards:

"Ventilation is of special concern with narcotics. Narcotics fumes should not be circulated within a common ventilation system."

"A narcotics storage room shall have an adequate ventilation system consistent with legal mandates that will not impact other areas of the building. Always consider a negative pressure system."

Ozone Generators that are Sold as Air Cleaners

Ozone generators that are sold as air cleaners intentionally produce the gas ozone. Often the vendors of ozone generators make statements and distribute material that lead the public to believe that these devices are always safe and effective in controlling indoor air pollution. For almost a century, health professionals have refuted these claims (Sawyer, et. al 1913; Salls, 1927; Boeniger, 1995; American Lung Association, 1997; Al-Ahmady, 1997). The purpose of this document is to provide accurate information regarding the use of ozone-generating devices in indoor occupied spaces. This information is based on the most credible scientific evidence currently available.

Some vendors suggest that these devices have been approved by the federal government for use in occupied spaces. To the contrary, NO agency of the federal government has approved these devices for use in occupied spaces. Because of these claims, and because ozone can cause health problems at high concentrations, several federal government agencies have worked in consultation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to produce this public information document.

RSU (Radial Scrub Unit) and RAP (Radial Air Purifier) Series

RSU (Radial Scrub Unit)

• Among the notable users of the Allerair RSUs are the U.S. Navy and Delta Airlines. These units are relied upon for odor and VOC removal by a broad range of industries.
• The Allerair RSUs are operating in prison armories where weapons are cleaned, chemical laboratories, and a multitude of manufacturing companies where people must work with high concentrations of VOCs such as Xylene, Toluene, Benzene, Chlorine, Cyclohexanone, MEK and MPK.
• The RSU (Radial Scrub Unit) Space SaverTM Series is cylindrical in shape and, depending on model, has a footprint of 19 inches.
• This is a ductless, re-circulating air scrubber with built-in casters so it can be easily rolled around on your floor.
• It has a 360 degree air-in draw, and is efficient in removing approximately 90% of all gas phase contaminants (VOCs) per air pass.
• It filters the air of dust and contaminant gases, then ejects the cleaned air out the top of the unit to the ceiling.
• The gentle ceiling to floor air pressure generated by the RSU creates the correct form of air movement needed to force heavier than air VOCs toward the floor to then be captured as they are drawn through the RSU carbon cartridge.
• Specifications, details of the different configurations of the RSU (Radial Scrub Unit)

RAP (Radial Air Purifier) Series

• The Radial Air Purifiers (RAPs) represent an upgrade to our RSU industrial air scrubbers.
• Designed initially for clean rooms and critical care environments, our new RAPs are now capturing gas and particle phase contaminants in a broad range of industrial, commercial, home and office applications.
• The change in design from our more industrial looking RSU Series has allowed our RAP Series to be even easier to service.
• As with our RSUs, our RAP model air scrubbers create the same room-wide airflow pattern for efficient contaminant control, and can be shipped with a range of filter options depending upon your indoor air quality control requirements.
• Specifications, details of the different configurations of the RAP (Radial Air Purifier)

Vermiculite

Vermiculite is a natural mineral that expands with the application of heat. The expansion process is called exfoliation and it is routinely accomplished in purpose-designed commercial furnaces. Vermiculite is formed by hydration of certain basaltic minerals. Large commercial vermiculite mines currently exist in South Africa, China, Brazil, the USA and several other countries.
