The Canadian Champion, Friday, May 30, 2003-27 A' A Indoor air quality management and Health Canada (NC)-ln the last several years, a growing body of scientifio evidence has indicated that the air within homes and other buildings can be more seriously polluted than the ouldoor air in even the largest and most industrialized cities. Other research indicates that people spend approximately 90 per- cent of their ime indoors. Thus, for many people, the risks 10 health may be greater due 10 exposure f0 air pollu- tion indoors than outdoors. n addition, people who may be exposed to indoor air pollutants for the longest periods of ime are oflen those most susceptible to the effecîs of indoor air pollution. For example, the young, the elderîy, and the chronicaîly il, especialîy those who suffer from respiratory or cardiovascular disease. While pollutant levels from individual sources may not pose a significant health risk by themselves, most homes have more than one source that con- tributes 10 indoor air pollution. Some of these sources can include smoke, dusf, pet dander, radon, mold and other pollutants which can pose seri- ous heaîth risks and contribute 10 res- piratory disease, asthma and even lung cancer. Fortunately, there are steps that most people can take both f0 reduce the risk from these existing sources and 10 prevent new problems from occurring. One of the most effective steps one can take to reduce the risk of indoor air pollution is the latest technology in indoor air management, called the Venmar Whole-house HEPA Air Purification system (Pur Air machine). t combines the benefits of both HEPA filtration and ventilation to help elimi- nate indoor pollution sources. The air purification system allows polluted air to exil and fresh air, filtered by HEPA filtration, 10 flow through the home. Ils HEPA iller traps up 10 trap 99.97% of .03 microns particles and can significantly reduce the number air- borne particles in your home. It aiso allows excess humidity and dangerous mold spores, volatile organîc com- pounds (VOC), and carbon monoxîde that are flot captured by filtration, fa escape the home. Health Canada' has recently granted Medical Devices Establishment Licence Number 1409 10 the Venmar HEPA series (Class I - Non-invasive medical devices). This is a first among companies working in the area of resi- dential business for units that combine filtration and ventilation. The Medical Devices Bureau finally determined that "any air filters which have direct or indirect therapeutic dlaims inked 10 a disease state (e.g. asthma) will be considered medical devices. This applies 10 filters that are permanently instalîed as part of a ven- tilation system or as portable units." Individuals who acquire one of Venmars HEPA series units under pre- scription may be able 10 deduct the purchase price from their income tax. The HEPA series devices substan- tially contribute 10 improving indoor air quality in dwellings and, at the same ime, may improve the quality of life of individuals with serious respiratory diseases. The HEPA Joar Wlong Deaer Locally owned and operated by John Sampson and Joan Wilfong filters 0f the same type as the ones found in Venmar appliances are also used in the venti- lation systems for some operating suites.
