Pure Air

PURE AIR

What we can`t see can hurt us.
The facts are frightening.
Indoors, we INHALE thousands of potentially harmful airborne particles
such as:
  • Common household dust
  • Dust mite faeces
  • Tobacco smoke
  • Cooking smoke
  • Lead dust
  • Paint pigments
  • Pollen
  • Hair spray
  • Bacteria
  • Auto emissions
  • formaldehyde
  • Mould
  • Skin flakes
  • Fungi
  • Animal hair

All above require a comprehensive system to do a superior job of keeping our AIR free of dirt and disease and to ensure that we can breath easy and much healthier.
It has never been so easy removing harmful substances from our AIR.
  • Nosebleeds
  • Coughing
  • Wheezing
  • Fever
  • Chills
  • Lethargy
  • Fatigue
  • Rashes
  • Hearing loss
  • Muscles aches
  • Nasal congestion
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • ...........
These are amongst the symptoms directly attributable to indoor pollutions.

Contribution to such symptoms above is by removing the harmful airborne particles around us.

In 1998 a study by the World Health Organization found that biological air contaminants in indoor AIR had been associated with half of all absenteeism and significantly reduced worker efficiency. It is well recognized that commercial, industrial and hospital AIR conditioning ducting can be a major source of infection and re-infection in public and private buildings.

Processes Of Digestion,Absorption And Metabolism

PROCESSES OF DIGESTION, ABSORPTION AND METABOLISM


The FOODS eaten by humans are chemically complex. They must be broken down by the BODY into simpler  chemical forms so that they can be taken in through the INTESTINAL WALLS and transported by the BLOOD to the CELLS.  There they provide ENERGY and the correct  BUILDING materials to maintain human life.
