Indoor air quality alert
Your home air most likely contains many pollutants: chemicals,
dust, mold, and radon
gas are among the most common. Computers,
home electronics, and gas appliances can also contribute greatly
to indoor air pollution.
The key reason indoor air quality is such an important issue
today is that over the last 30 years, we’ve become more
concerned about energy conservation — and modern homes
are extremely well insulated as a result.
Today, indoor air pollutants are typically 2 to 5 times (and
sometimes as many as 100 times) more concentrated inside homes
than outdoors, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
Health experts claim that indoor air quality is one of today’s
most serious problems, perhaps causing the dramatic rise in
asthma and allergies over the last quarter century. Indoor
air pollutants also contribute to headaches, nausea, rashes,
toxic black mold syndrome, lung disease, and cancer.
The RecoupAerator® can make your home’s air safe
to breathe again. Its unique, patented design has made it
#1 among home ventilation solutions.

the American
