TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 13, 2001

BBJ (OTCBB:BBJE) has changed indoor air quality treatment forever with its unique formulation, BBJ MicroBiocide. It is the only product specifically registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for use in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) and refrigeration systems that prevents and inhibits the biological growth of active microorganisms (bacteria, algae, mold, spores, and other fungi) for up to six (6) months at a time. Although BBJ MicroBiocide effectively kills these microorganisms upon application, what makes this product unique is its ability to make that same treated surface uninhabitable to future microbial growth. By preventing the growth and establishment of colonies, it effectively eliminates the various health effects caused by microbes in the HVAC system.

HVAC systems are breeding grounds for bacteria, various molds, algae, fungi and other airborne contaminants. These microorganisms and other pollutants are spread by dirty air handling systems through your home, workplace and school, where they land on all surfaces that you come in contact with. According to Chin Yang, Ph.D., "the HVAC system in a building is very similar to the respiratory system in a human body. The HVAC system provides conditioned air to building occupants and is essential to the comfort of building occupants, and necessary to the operation of the building. The respiratory system delivers oxygenated air to the blood stream in a human body and is essential to the survival of humans. The importance of these systems is clearly significant to humans." For example, asthma and allergy sufferers, people with chronic respiratory problems, children and the elderly are especially sensitive to dirty HVAC systems. According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, "50 percent of all illnesses are caused or aggravated by polluted indoor air." The spores from harmful colonies of bacteria and fungi that dirty systems harbor result in poor indoor air quality that can trigger everything from minor discomfort like itchy eyes and sinus problems to permanent nervous and respiratory damage and even death. With over 50 million residential HVAC units and more than 4.5 million commercial installations in the United States, the market for BBJ's products is enormous.

The American Lung Association (ALA) says that infectious respiratory diseases including measles, chicken pox and tuberculosis can easily be caused by the very contaminants found in your HVAC system. In fact, chronic lung disease is the number three (3) killer in America. In studies conducted by Eckardt Johanning, MD of Eastern New York Occupational and Environmental Heath Center, it was determined that people with prolonged exposure to certain types of mold and fungi experienced chronic fatigue, loss of balance, irritability, memory loss and difficulty in speaking. Dr. Robert McLellan, a well known health physician specializing in environmental medicine, states that "these environmental organisms can make people sick, and that `bio-nasties' from air conditioners can precipitate nasal congestion, asthma attacks, flu like feelings and even pneumonia."

BBJ MicroBiocide is an environmentally friendly application that eliminates the threat these contaminants pose and will prevent their return for up to six months. So, regular, periodic treatment of HVAC systems with BBJ MicroBiocide is a sound and safer way to improve the air quality in your home, school and workplace.

Naturally, when you are in better health, your medical bills are lower. There are additional economic benefits as well! Studies have shown that the build up of these contaminants and the biofilm (sticky bacterial slime) they create seriously curtails the HVAC systems heat transfer efficiency, thereby forcing equipment to work harder. The use of BBJ MicroBiocide can reduce your energy costs by up to 30% and extend the life of your equipment by several years. BBJ MicroBiocide treatment is quick, safe, easy and costs just pennies a day to protect yourself, loved ones and employees from the ever-present danger of polluted indoor air.
