Indoor air purifier reduces many air contaminants.Photox[TM], from Zentox, is an advanced air purification system designed to reduce indoor airborne microbiological and volatile-organic-compound (VOC (Vertical Online Community) See vertical portal. ) contaminants. Based on photocatalytic oxidation technology (PCO PCO 1 Patient complains of 2 Polycystic ovaries, see there ), Photox removes noxious odors, toxic vapors, and infectious organisms from the indoor environment. In tests performed by EMSL EMSL Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory EMSL European Microwave Signature Laboratory EMSL Environmental Molecular Science Laboratory (operated by Battelle for the US DoE; Pacific Northwest National Laboratory) Analytical, Inc., the nation's largest environmental testing firm, Photox excelled at removal of airborne contaminants airborne contaminants, n.pl materials in the atmosphere that can affect the health of persons in the same or a nearby environment. Also referred to as air pollution. . Tests were performed to determine effectiveness in the reduction of formaldehyde concentration, ammonia concentration, viable Stachybotrys sp. (black-mold spores), and Bacillus bacillus (bəsĭl`əs), any rod-shaped bacterium or, more particularly, a rod-shaped bacterium of the genus Bacillus. Some bacterium in the genus cause disease, for example B. sp. in indoor air. Photox was found to reduce concentrations of volatile airborne chemical vapors to far below established OSHA OSHA n. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, a branch of the US Department of Labor responsible for establishing and enforcing safety and health standards in the workplace. exposure limits. In the formaldehyde test, reduction became evident after two minutes of operation. After 30 minutes of use, the formaldehyde concentration dropped from 5 ppm to 0.2 ppm. Ammonia levels were also reduced after two minutes of operation and went from 60 ppm to 9 ppm after 30 minutes and to 2 ppm after 60 minutes. For formaldehyde and ammonia, OSHA exposure limits are 0.75 ppm and 35 ppm, respectively. Photox also reduced the concentration of viable Stachybotrys sp. after 60 minutes and Bacillus sp. after 120 minutes of operation. The Bacillus species are members of the same genus of the species that causes anthrax, Bacillus anthracis Bacillus anthracis Infectious disease A gram-positive organism which causes often fatal infections when its endospores–resistant to heat, drying, UV light, gamma radiation, and many disinfectants–enter the body and cause septicemia Military medicine . Other hazardous and objectionable airborne contaminants that it removes include other bacteria, viruses, mold spores, cleaning-solvent vapors, paint odor, hydrogen sulfide, urine and fecal odors, cooking odors, and carbon monoxide. The Photox purifying system is ideally suited for air purification in food-processing plants, hospitals, schools, office buildings, medical offices, laboratories, poultry grow-out houses and hatcheries, restaurants, and nursing homes. It does not emit any harmful products or ozone. Destruction of contaminants occurs completely inside the unit.
